New desalination phase to boost Kuwait's water reserves by 60mln gallons daily
KUWAIT CITY - The bid opening date for Doha West Seawater Reverse Osmosis Desalination Plant, along with equipment to increase the alkalinity of the produced water (Phase II) , will be on July 22, sources from the Ministry of Electricity, Water and Renewable Energy say. Sources pointed out that if the project bids are opened and the deadline is not postponed, the Central Agency for Public Tenders (CAPT) will refer the bids to the ministry for review and preparation of technical recommendations within one month of the award date. Based on the recommendation, a decision will be made on the company with the best bid and the required conditions and specifications, sources explained. Sources added that the award decision of CAPT will be pave the way for sending the tender documents to the State Audit Bureau (SAB) for study, review and audit. Sources confirmed that the bureau will then approve the contract to start the implementation of the project, which the ministry is counting on to increase the strategic reserve of fresh water to meet the growing demand for water. Sources expect the station to increase the strategic water reserve by 60 million imperial gallons per day of potable water without the need to mix it with groundwater -- an advantage of reverse osmosis technology. Sources also confirmed the commitment of the ministry to implement all of its development projects, particularly those related to electricity and water production, to meet the increasing demand for electricity and water annually.

Kuwait expected to award consultancy deal for 900MW Subiya power plant expansion in Q4
Kuwait's Ministry of Electricity & Water & Renewable Energy is expected to award the consultancy services contract for the 900 megawatt (MW) Phase 4 of the Subiya Power and Water Distillation Plant project in Subiya in the third quarter of 2025, a source aware of the details said. The consultancy services tender was issued on 27 April 2025, with a bid submission deadline set for 24 June 2025. The scope of the contract is supply, installation, operation and maintenance of combined cycle gas turbine units to increase the existing plant's power generation capacity by 900 MW. 'The contract award is expected in August 2025,' the source said, adding that the project completion is scheduled for the first quarter of 2027. In April 2025, a Zawya Projects report said the Subiya project is estimated to cost around 257 million Kuwaiti dinars ($848 million). (Reporting by Deva Palanisamy; Editing by Anoop Menon) (

Kuwait's Nuwaiseeb Power Plant set to get dual-fuel supply lines
KUWAIT CITY: The Ministry of Electricity, Water and Renewable Energy intends to construct fuel lines feeding the Nuwaiseeb Power Plant for generating electricity and distilling water using two types of fuel -- gas and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). Sources explained that the fuel lines project is part of preparations for the Nuwaiseeb Power Plant, which is aimed at securing the electricity grid. Sources said this is one of the important future projects that will supply the grid with around 7,200 megawatts and 180 million imperial gallons of water in two phases -- the first has a capacity of 3,600 megawatts. Sources stated that the project to construct fuel pipelines is expected to be tendered in the current fiscal year -- under established procedures and regulations -- as a limited and non-divisible public tender. They added the project aims to meet the station's growing need for various types of fuel; including the construction of the necessary pipelines for all types of fuel, and modernizing fuel receiver systems and pipelines to operate the station's system and equipment; thereby, improving fuel efficiency. They indicated that the Nuwaiseeb station will operate under the 'combined cycle' system; which produces more energy with the same amount of fuel, reduces the amount consumed per unit, reduces emissions compared to the unit's output, and enables future expansion and operation with more than one type of fuel.

Iraq-Turkey power line capacity to be doubled to 600 MW
Iraq's Ministry of Electricity has signed a contract with Turkish company Alifrin to double the capacity of the Iraq-Turkey power line from 300 megawatts (MW) to 600 MW. All technical requirements for the interconnection, including the necessary stations and lines, as well as fulfilling all contractual obligations, have been completed, the Iraqi News Agency reported, citing a ministry statement. The new contract includes equipping the grid with 300 MW as a first phase via the Jazara-Kask 400 kV interconnection line in Nineveh Governorate. The capacity increase will be completed within less than one month. The project will directly contribute to increasing the hours of supply to the northern regions and is part of the government's strategy to diversify energy sources. The Iraq-Turkey interconnection line will link the Iraqi grid to the European power grid, the statement said.
