After the Central Agency for Public Tenders (CAPT) opened nine bids submitted for the phase one of the railway project, the authority has granted permission to the Public Authority for Roads and Transportation (PART) to complete bids for a detailed study, design the project agreement, and prepare documents for the tender.

A PART source reports that the companies competing for the agreement will complete their bids by completing the deficiencies in their documents. It is noteworthy that the first phase will include connectivity to the Gulf Cooperation Council countries. The route of this phase extends from the southern border with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (Nuwaiseeb) all the way to the passenger station in Kuwait City, behind Kuwait International Airport on the Seventh Ring Road, which extends north to Mubarak Al-Kabeer Port through the Silk City. Phase one covers 111 kilometers of the Gulf Cooperation Council route, and phase two covers 154 kilometers until Mubarak Al-Kabeer Port.

The route will contribute to the future process of transporting passengers, freight operations, and goods from and to Boubyan. The total length of this phase is 265 kilometers. Meanwhile, the Amiri Decree has been issued under No. 207/2023 amending Decree No. 57/2022, to allow the purchase of electricity and water from others, reports Al- Rai daily.

Clause No. 11 of Article Two of Decree No. 57/2022 is amended in its first article to include the following clause: Purchasing energy and water from others, based on the controls and procedures determined by the ministry, in accordance with Kuwaiti legislation. Previously, Decree 57/2022 restricted the purchase of renewable energy from within Kuwait only, while the latest amendment allows the purchase of energy and water from anywhere.
