Planned Power Outages Across Kuwait
Kuwait City: 5th April 2026: Planned Power Outages Across Kuwait (April 5–11, 2026)
Residents across Kuwait are advised to prepare for scheduled power outages taking place from April 5 through April 11, 2026. The outages are part of a nationwide maintenance initiative led by the Ministry of Electricity and Water, aimed at upgrading and servicing secondary substations to enhance the reliability and efficiency of the electrical network.
Why These Outages Are Happening
The ministry has clarified that these temporary interruptions are necessary to ensure long-term stability of the power supply and to reduce the likelihood of unexpected failures in the future. Each outage is scheduled during early morning hours—starting at 1:00 AM—and will last approximately four hours, minimizing disruption to daily routines.
Residents can check whether their homes will be affected by visiting the official maintenance portal and using the “Am I Affected?” feature. By entering a PACI number or locating a property on the interactive map, users can receive real-time updates about outages in their area.
Authorities have emphasized the importance of staying informed and planning ahead, particularly for households and businesses that depend heavily on continuous electricity.
In case of emergencies or unexpected faults outside the planned schedule, residents can contact the ministry’s hotline at 152 for immediate support.
