In recent developments, the Kuwait Authority for Partnership Projects (KAPP) has announced the invitation to companies and consortiums wishing to qualify for participation (RFQ) in the bidding process for two more Private Public Partnership (PPP) projects, these being;

• the third phase of the integrated Al Dibdibah Power and Al Shagaya Renewable Energy solar PV Project – Phase III – Zone 1 – Solar PV IPP, and
• the Fixed Telecommunications Network development project.

It is also noteworthy that the KAPP has, on 3 December 2023, announced the shortlisted companies and consortia for Az Zour North Phases 2 and 3 and Alkhairan Phase 1 IWPP Projects.

These initiatives mark a significant stride in Kuwait’s journey towards promoting PPP projects in Kuwait, revamping its telecommunications network and shifting from traditional power sources, while bolstering the private sector’s role in the development of the telecommunications and power generation sectors.
