In dual announcements, the Ministry of Electricity, Water, and Renewable Energy assured consumers that the recent crisis of power loads and scheduled outages had been resolved. However, the ministry also emphasized the need for continued energy conservation, particularly in the upcoming months, and stressed the importance of year-round rationalization efforts.
Acting Assistant Undersecretary for Customer Services Eng. Falah Al-Mutairi reassured citizens and residents that the programmed power outage crisis had been overcome. “We have resolved the crisis, thank God, and things are very good,” he stated. Nonetheless, Al-Mutairi highlighted the critical role of community cooperation in rationalizing electricity and water consumption, urging public participation in this vital initiative.
Al-Mutairi detailed the Ministry’s efforts to promote energy conservation, including the launch of the “Incentive” program in 2021, which rewards customers who reduce their consumption. He explained that customers saving less than 20 percent receive double the amount saved as a credit, while those saving 20 percent or more benefit from a 40 percent discount on their electricity bill. Additionally, customers who cut their water consumption by 25 percent or more receive a 50 percent discount on their water bill.
Major General (Retired) Faisal Al-Jazzaf, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Retired Officers Association, underscored the national importance of rationalizing electricity and water consumption. He emphasized the citizen’s role in supporting Kuwait’s interests by reducing energy loads and preventing water wastage, particularly by domestic workers during car washing.
Al-Mutairi noted a strong public response to the “Incentive” program, revealing that financial rewards amounting to 121,000 dinars were deposited into participants’ accounts last February. This demonstrates the community’s commitment to energy conservation and the ministry’s ongoing efforts to incentivize responsible consumption.
