The Ministry of Electricity, Water and Renewable Energy announced that, as a result of the unjust Iranian aggression against the State of Kuwait, one of the country’s power and desalination plants came under attack, causing damage to its facilities, sparking a fire, and affecting a large number of power generation units.

The Ministry reaffirmed that technical teams are working around the clock to maintain the stability of the electrical grid and ensure uninterrupted service, continuously monitoring grid indicators and taking all necessary actions to minimize any potential impact on the system.

The Ministry urges citizens and residents to cooperate during this exceptional phase by conserving electricity, as such efforts directly support the stability of the national electrical grid, enable technical teams to manage the system efficiently, and ensure continuous service across the country.

The Ministry emphasized that public awareness and cooperation under these circumstances constitute an integral part of the national efforts to address the repercussions of this aggression, and that every contribution to conserving electricity enhances the electrical system’s capacity to navigate this phase and supports repair and rehabilitation efforts for damaged facilities as swiftly as possible.
