The Ministry of Water and Irrigation is scheduled to reduce
its energy use, which constitutes 14 per cent of the country’s total energy
consumption, by half in early 2019, according to officials.
The goal of cutting down 50 million kilowatt hours per year is
expected to be attained within 15 months, according to ministry’s officials,
who noted that it will be achieved after a multi-million-dollar project to
rehabilitate the country’s main pumping stations and a number of well fields is
completed.
