The second extraordinary meeting of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Electricity and Water Cooperation Committee, in which Kuwait participated today, Thursday, via video conference, discussed ways to enhance electricity and water interconnection projects among GCC member states and to follow up on the implementation of GCC directives related to the development of the two systems and support energy and water security.
The meeting reviewed the implementation of directives issued by the GCC leaders at the 19th Consultative Meeting hosted by Jeddah in April 2026, concerning the study of the feasibility of establishing water interconnection projects and strengthening the GCC electricity interconnection system.
Kuwait’s participation comes within the framework of GCC efforts to develop shared electricity and water infrastructure, improve the reliability of supplies, and enhance resource-use efficiency, thereby supporting the ability of GCC states to meet future needs and strengthening their capacity to handle emergencies.
