Rolls-Royce Series 4000 DS 3600 diesel generators for Kuwait International Airport

Rolls-Royce has taken charge of safety at Kuwait International Airport. How? Rolls-Royce Power Systems is supplying seven mtu backup-power generators to expand the energy infrastructure at Kuwait International Airport. The 20-cylinder Series 4000 DS 3600 diesel generators will be installed in the new Terminal 2, where they will secure the power supply for the catering building and the airport’s central energy infrastructure, as well as other facilities.

Kuwait International Airport is currently undergoing extensive expansion. With the construction of the new Terminal 2, the site will become one of the most modern aviation hubs in the Gulf region. Once completed, the airport is expected to handle an initial 25 million passengers per year – scalable up to 50 million – as part of the national development strategy “Kuwait Vision 2035”.

The contract was awarded by the Directorate General for Civil Aviation (DGCA) in cooperation with the Ministry of Public Works. Limak, an internationally active construction company based in Turkey, is acting as the project’s main developer. The gensets are engineered to operate reliably even under extreme climatic conditions and are designed for ambient temperatures of up to 55 degrees Celsius. Delivery is scheduled for early 2026, followed by commissioning, including testing and handover.
