Masdar has signed a joint cooperation agreement with Yemen's Ministry of Electricity and Energy to build a 120 MW solar plant in Aden. It will be the country's first large-scale renewable energy project. Image: IFC, Al Kuraimi. Masdar, an Abu Dhabi-based renewables developer, is set to build a 120 MW solar plant in Yemen.
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.
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 migration to solar power is part of what researchers say is an energy revolution in the country of 28 million, where the electric grid has been decimated by fighting. More than 50 percent of Yemeni households rely on the sun as their main source of energy, and solar arrays power everything from shops to schools to hospitals.
“For many in Yemen, especially for farmers, solar power has been a lifeline,” says Matt Leonard, who specializes in microfinance with IFC. “The key now is to scale up its use.” Yemen has long been the poorest country in the Middle East and North Africa, but a conflict that broke out in 2014 has pushed the country to the brink.
Rassam paid about 50 million Yemeni rials (around $90,000 based on the unofficial market exchange rate) for his system, which is considered large by local standards. The average cost of an array is around $10,000. Rassam financed the solar panels with a loan from Al Kuraimi Islamic Bank, one of the country's largest private lenders.
