Kuwait is wholly reliant on fossil fuels for energy generation and by 2030, its energy demand will triple. In order to diversify its energy mix, the country targets to increase the share of renewable generation to 15% by 2030.
Electricity is primarily used for heating, cooling, lighting, cooking and to power devices, appliances and industrial equipment. Further electrification of end-uses, especially transportation, in conjunction with the decarbonisation of electricity generation, is an important pillar of clean energy transitions.
But it is still growing rapidly in many emerging market and developing countries, especially those where a significant fraction of the population still lacks access to electricity. Electricity is primarily used for heating, cooling, lighting, cooking and to power devices, appliances and industrial equipment.
