Two state-owned Kuwaiti oil companies have invited consultancy bids from five Western firms to study the use of renewable energy to run their facilities, Zawya Projects reported, citing a Kuwait newspaper.
France’s Technip and Worley Engineering of Australia are amongst the companies that are invited to submit bids.
The Kuwait National Petroleum Co and the Kuwait Integrated Petroleum Industries Co have asked those firms to submit bids for “consultancy services” involving feasibility studies and other services for the use of renewable energy in the facilities managed by the two companies,” the report said.
“The sources said the two companies want to follow a trend by most operators in the oil sector to switch to clean fuel mainly solar and wind energy, besides hydrogen production,” it added.
