Loading... The UAE capital, Abu Dhabi, witnessed the signing of a joint cooperation agreement between the Ministry of Electricity and Energy in Yemen, and the Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company, Masdar, to provide the interim capital, Aden, with a solar power plant with a total capacity of 120 megawatts.
According to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), Yemen’s cumulative renewable capacity was 253 MW at the end of 2021, all from solar. Reports from local NGOs and the Ministry of Electricity and Energy put the country’s total installed solar capacity between 300 MW and 400 MW in 2018.
The deal includes the construction of transmission lines and transformer stations. The solar project will be built in Aden. The 120 MW plant will be the “first and the largest strategic project to generate electricity through clean and renewable energy” in Yemen, according to the Yemeni Energy Minister Manea bin Yameen.
Yemen is dealing with the dilemma of energy networks that are unstable and indefensible. Due to the fighting, certain energy systems have been completely damaged, while others have been partially devastated, resulting in a drop in generation capacity and even fuel delivery challenges from power generation plants.
