Kuwait’s MEWRE plans 31 substations to expand transmission network

Kuwait’s Ministry of Electricity, Water and Renewable Energy (MEWRE) is planning to expand the country’s electricity transmission network through the installation of 31 transformer substations during the current fiscal year 2026-27 ending March 31, 2027.

The programme is aimed at meeting rising electricity demand by strengthening Kuwait’s high voltage and extra-high-voltage transmission networks. The planned expansion is intended to support continued population growth and the development of new residential areas, while enhancing the reliability of the national power system.
