Energy in Yemen

To address these shortages, a 340-MW gas-fired power plant is under construction-and close to completion-at Marib.

Further expansion to the facility, which will add an additional 400 MW of output, is planned.

Yemen has received considerable support for the development of its power generation network in recent years, with contributions coming from Saudi Arabia, France, the US, as well as multilateral donors such as the World Bank.

Consequently, a National Rural Electrification Program is now in place and the construction of three substations, along with the necessary transmission lines, is under way.
