Kuwait has taken a significant step toward advancing energy integration and sustainability with the signing of a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to explore the development of a power-and-steam co-generation plant in Ratqa. The MoU was signed by Kuwait Petroleum Corporation (KPC), the Ministry of Electricity & Water & Renewable Energy, and Kuwait Oil Company (KOC), underscoring strong institutional collaboration to enhance national energy efficiency.
The proposed co-generation facility aims to simultaneously produce electricity and steam, optimizing fuel utilization while reducing operational costs and environmental impact. By integrating power and steam generation, the initiative is expected to support the efficient development of heavy-oil production in the Ratqa field, a key asset in Kuwait’s upstream portfolio.
This collaboration reflects Kuwait’s broader commitment to modernizing its energy infrastructure and adopting integrated solutions that align with long-term sustainability and economic goals. The project will also contribute to improved energy reliability and operational synergies between the oil and power sectors.
Through this partnership, the participating entities seek to leverage technical expertise and shared resources to assess the feasibility of the project, reinforcing Kuwait’s position as a regional leader in innovative and efficient energy solutions.
