The report, a copy of which has been obtained by the Al-Seyassah daily, clarified that the ministry has begun to raise the production of electrical energy in anticipation of the expected rise in demand during the coming years by building new stations, pointing out that these accelerated steps come as a result of the construction and expansion of new residential cities.
The report indicated the plants operating under the combined cycle system will constitute 61 percent of the total electricity generation capacity in 2035, while the steam-operated stations will constitute about 19 percent, and these stations using oil and gas to generate power.
The report indicated that there are projects being implemented, others that the ministry is preparing to offer, and a third that will be put forward through the Public- Private Partnership Projects Authority, so that the ministry will be able to supply the housing cities that are being implemented and others to be implemented in the future, especially the islands development project, with the needed electricity and water.
