Electricity And Peak Load — State of Qatar Open Data
This dataset presents statistics on electricity installed capacity and peak load in Qatar over the years.
It is a clear indication of the growth of the electricity sector in Qatar, accompanied by the remarkable expansion of main electricity transmission network, which led to an increase in the number of primary substations to 87 in 2000, which grew to 139 in 2008. As of May 2024, the number of primary substations has reached 393.
Qatar's electricity, water, and cooling demands for 2019 are used as input in this study. The CSP with storage can increase the share of electricity supply by RES to 38.2%. Pump hydro and electro-fuels storage are the best alternatives to enhance the storage capacities of RES.
The data used were obtained from the Qatar general electricity and water corporation (QEWC) [ 71 ]. Since the district cooling demand is powered by the electricity grid, a help function on EnergyPLAN helps subtract electricity for cooling from the hourly electricity demand.
The demand for electricity in the State of Qatar has increased in recent years. The maximum network load increased from 941 MW in 1988 to 3,990 MW in 2008 and reached to 6255 MW in 2012. Meanwhile, due to the surge in demand, the electrical load of Kahramaa reached 9805 MW during the summer of 2023.
