40 Areas In Kuwait Affected By Major Power Outage Due To Power Station Shutdown

The Ministry of Electricity has disclosed the cause behind the extensive power outage that impacted numerous regions across Kuwait. The outage was attributed to the shutdown of a key power station, which experienced increased pressure due to soaring temperatures and heightened energy demand. This disruption affected over 40 regions nationwide, with the restoration of the affected station estimated to take between two to four hours.

In response to the situation, the Ministry of Electricity promptly established an emergency response center to manage the resolution of defects, outages, and grievances. The ministry plans to release a comprehensive statement detailing the incident shortly.

Today marked a critical juncture for Kuwait as the nation grappled with a surge in power outages in residential areas. These outages affected segments of 15 regions, including prominent areas such as Yarmouk, Al-Oyoun, and Farwaniya. The disruptions were caused by several transformers going offline due to the strain on the electrical grid, exacerbated by rising temperatures.

Emergency teams from the Ministry of Electricity quickly mobilized to address the malfunctioning transformers and initiate repairs to restore service promptly.
