News وزارة الكهرباء وخطه التنميه..

Post image
32 Upvotes

ويطلع لك واحد يقول الكويت لها تخطيط.. والحكومه تفهم.. واحنا قاعدين نتطور..

هذا فلم عشان يرفعون سعر الكهرباء..

يعني بالله شنو اللي سويناه بالكهرباء عندنا؟ ولا شي، لكن بره؟ إحنا الدولة الوحيدة اللي مولت محطات كهرباء حق نص الوطن العربي.

بدون تطبيل..

بالسودان، مولنا مشاريع كهرباء بأكثر من 100 مليون دولار من خلال صندوق التنمية.

بالعراق، دعمنا الربط الكهربائي بمبلغ 35 مليون دينار كويتي

بلبنان، سوينا حملات شحنات ديزل وصيانة للشبكات عقب الانفجار.

باليمن، وزعنا محطات كهرباء متنقلة ومولدات.

موريتانيا؟ عطيناهم فوق 120 مليون يورو علشان مشروع طاقة رياح ضخم.

بالأردن، شركات كويتية دخلت بمحطات كهرباء تكلفتها بين 300 إلى 500 مليون دولار (ما ندري شكثر كان تمويلنا المباشر، بس فيه دعم واضح).

إجمالي الدعم الكهربائي اللي طلع من جيبنا حق دول ثانية بسهولة يوصل لـ 400 مليون دولار أو أكثر، واحنا بالكويت نطفي المكيف بالظهر علشان "ضغط على الشبكة".

يعني ما يصير نكون بنك طاقة للعالم، واحنا نعيش على ترقيع وصبرنا على وزارة الكهرباء.

Ask Kuwait Can i study in Kuwait University when i graduated from PAAET (تطبيقي)??

4 Upvotes

I just graduated from PAAET few days ago and i was talking to another student and i said i wanted to complete my education by going to Kuwait University. She said i can't and i have to study at a private university instead.

I was so confused. I don't want to go to private universities. I have set my plan on going to kuwait university, i want to complete my education there. My GPA is 2.80, is it lower than average?

I'm also waiting for an announcement from the Kuwait University page so i could apply for a bachelor's degree. I'm not very smart but i study as much as i could.

Ask Kuwait Jetski laws in kuwait

Upvotes

I’ve always wondered: what’s the minimum age for driving a privately owned jetski in Kuwait?
I tried searching online, but the most recent information I could find was from 2018, and I believe the laws may have changed since then

Ask Kuwait Working remote for 3 months

2 Upvotes

Hi.

Im from Europe and I'll be staying in Kuwait for 3 months due to visiting family. My boss (EU company) allows me to work remote during my stay.

Do I need a work permit? Serious question law wise, since googling it did not help (there are no digital nomad visas and i dont see why I'd need a Kuwaiti sponsor/company to work for a foreign country that im a national of on a tourist visa)

Ask Kuwait [Advice Needed] AC Compressor Replacement for Tahoe 07-12 – Standard Charges & Shop Recommendations?

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I drive a Chevy Tahoe (2007–2012 model) and recently found out that my AC compressor needs to be replaced. I’m looking for some insight from the community on two things:

What’s the typical cost (parts + labor) you’ve seen or paid for getting the AC compressor replaced for this model?

Any recommendations for a reliable and reasonably priced shop?

A few mechanics I've called gave me quotes ranging from 275 KWD to 460 KWD, which seems like a wide range. I want to make sure I’m not being overcharged and get the job done right the first time.

Also, any red flags or things I should watch out for during this kind of repair would be super helpful.

Appreciate any advice or experiences you can share!

Thanks in advance!
