Energy consumption in Kuwait: Prospects and future approaches

►Energy consumption in Kuwait is increasing at a rate of 8% annually. ►Power plant sector is the major energy consumer, the consumption in these plants alone will reach 10% and 26.5% of the total oil produced in 2010 and 2020, respectively. ►With the oil production rate of 2008, all of the energy produced will be consumed locally by 2027. ►Modification of existing power plants is necessary to increase their production and reduce their waste. ►Establishing an energy conservation programs among different sectors would restrict the accelerated depletion of Kuwait's only fuel resource.
