The summer blackouts in Kuwait highlight how soaring demand has outstripped the capacity of its electrical grid, exacerbated by climate change and import challenges.
Mishari al-Olyan says the government's resort to rolling blackouts is a catastrophe, emphasizing the personal toll it takes, especially for families reliant on electrically-operated medical equipment.
As Kuwait shifts from oil to natural gas for power, the need to import gas amidst rising temperatures and demand has contributed to the country's electricity crisis.
The recent uptick in scheduled power cuts signals ongoing issues in Kuwait's electrical supply despite its wealth from vast oil reserves and energy exports.
