Role Purpose

Deliver specialist planning studies focused on generation connections, GCC interconnection, renewable integration and system security, translating system-analysis findings into practical network recommendations.

Key Responsibilities

• Conduct generation-connection and renewable-energy operational/planning studies, including assessment of suitable grid connection points.
• Study requirements for strengthening and connecting the Kuwait power system with the GCC Interconnection Grid.
• Review and evaluate operational and planning reports issued by the GCC Interconnection Authority and prepare technical comments.
• Support GCCIA workshops and prepare associated technical reports and observations.
• Study system balance under sudden loss of generation or load and assess operational issues affecting network stability.
• Assess renewable-energy forecasting, integration constraints, curtailment considerations and network investments required to accommodate additional renewable generation.
• Support seasonal, substation-connection and network-expansion studies as required.

Candidate Profile

• Strong experience in power-system planning, generation/interconnection and renewable integration studies.
• Knowledge of interconnected transmission-system behaviour and system stability principles.
• Experience reviewing complex utility study reports and converting findings into actionable recommendations.
• Degree in Electrical Engineering or closely related discipline; postgraduate qualification desirable.

Core Competencies

• Technical analysis and modelling
• Utility engineering judgement
• Clear technical reporting
• Stakeholder coordination
• Quality and safety focus
• Ability to work across multidisciplinary study teams
