Bubiyan Island (Arabic: جزيرة بوبيان) is the largest island in the Kuwaiti coastal island chain situated in the north-western corner of the Persian Gulf, with an area of 863 km2 (333 sq mi). Bubiyan Island is part of the Shatt al-Arab delta.[2] The Mubarak Al Kabeer Port is currently under construction on the island.[3][4][5][6] As part of the port's development, there are plans for Bubiyan Island to contain power plants and substations.[7][4][8][9] A 5,000-megawatt power plant has already been built in the neighbouring Kuwaiti region of Subiya.[10]
