Kuwait is expected to issue a tender to build the estimated $1.2 billion Dibdibah solar power plant in the first quarter of 2018, a senior official said.

September 7 is the deadline for companies to express interest in the 1 gigawatt project, Shukri AbdulAziz Al-Mahrous, deputy chief executive officer of planning and finance at Kuwait National Petroleum Company, said in an interview with Bloomberg Businessweek.

The 32-sq km plant, which should be completed by the end of 2020 in Kuwait’s northwest, will save burning 5.2 million barrels of oil a year and reduce carbon emissions by 1.3 million tons annually, Al-Mahrous said.

The project is part of the country’s plans to produce 15 per cent of power from renewable energy by 2030.

Kuwait consumes a maximum of 14 GW of electricity a day, usually in the summer when temperatures can top 50 deg C. It has a capacity of 17 GW electricity.
