KUWAIT: Minister of Electricity and Water Salem Al-Othayna said on Monday that the improvements in Kuwait's power network are being carried out using the latest equipment and sophisticated power conservation techniques. Al-Othayna, who is also the Acting Minister of Information, said that, as well as conserving power, the 'smart' system used by the MEW ensures that the power supply is directed towards those areas where it is most needed.
In a statement released after he inaugurated Salwa's second main power plant, which uses the 'smart' system, the minister said that the new system "contributes to reducing consumption levels by 15 to 20 percent through conserving the previously wasted power." Kuwait has taken the regional lead in introducing the 'smart' system, which was first suggested by an MEW expert committee in 2008, said Al-Othayna, lauding the efforts of the five Kuwaiti engineers, all female, who first launched the project and of the additional eight who also played a part in ensuring the successful introduction of the cutting edge system.
