KUWAIT: Kuwait enjoys sunny days almost the whole year long, but this source of energy is not exploited like in many other countries. Solar energy is used in Kuwait in a few places, including private houses.

Ali: The late Amir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah announced at the 2012 United Nations Conference on Climate Change that Kuwait will strive to produce 15 percent of its power from solar and wind by 2030, a goal that has since been reaffirmed in the New Kuwait 2035 vision.

In the past few years, Kuwait has taken significant steps to broaden its energy sources. The Amir of Kuwait has pledged to generate sustainable energy to meet 15 percent of Kuwait's energy demand by 2030. To accomplish His Highness' goal, a variety of initiatives were taken and many projects are launched.

Based on the success of this pilot project, KFAS has begun spreading and encouraging renewable energy applications in the Kuwaiti society more generally and has proposed a similar project in an effort to supply, install and operate solar cells in 1,500 households.

The PV system at Zahra Cooperative Society has a capacity of 780 kWp, which can produce roughly 1,270 MWh of electrical energy per year. This can power more than 16 houses for a year, saving at least 780 barrels of oil annually and reducing CO2 emissions by at least 1,150 tons per year.
