The Ministry of Electricity, Water and Renewable Energy of Kuwait said on Sunday power cuts would occur to industrial areas with high energy consumption to maintain the stability of the country's electrical system.

The ministry said the power cuts would include parts of the Mina Abdullah, Sabhan, Amghara, Sulaibiya Industrial, Rai and Shuwaikh Industrial as well, KUNA reported.

The outage is due to a fuel supply disruption that occurred on Saturday, which led to the shutdown of some electricity generating units at Subiya and West Doha power stations as well as desalination plants.

The ministry called for conserving electricity during the upcoming peak hours from 11:00 am to 05:00 pm local time by following the ministry's guidelines, noting that any new updates would be announced.
