Yemen, with a population of 30 million, is one of the countries with the lowest rates of electricity supply

in the Middle East and North Africa, as it has suffered from economic instability.

long-term, which constituted an obstacle to social and economic development

in it; In Yemen, access to the minimum level of basic services remains one of the daily challenges facing
the vast majority of Yemenis.

The inability to

Vital service utilities and households on access to electricity are deteriorating in quality of delivery.

Public services such as water supply, health care, education and the general welfare of Yemenis. Before
the outbreak of the war, less than half of the population in Yemen

on public electricity; In 2014, the rural population was about two-thirds of the total

The population, but only 23% of them received electricity, compared to the percentage of

The urban population who used to have access to electricity by 85% .

The maximum annual average per capita electrical energy consumption in Yemen has never exceeded
255 KWh, which is much lower than the annual average in the Middle East and North Africa region of
2900 KWh while at the world level it is 3100KWh. to electricity and its reliability

Below the required level, mainly due to lack of fuel supply and sabotage

The recurring frequency of the power transmission towers that connect the Ma'rib power station - the
largest power station in Yemen - in Sana'a and the National Network.

Although the installed electrical capacity of the Public Electricity Corporation was about 1.5GW, the
available electrical capacity in 2012 and 2013 was only 1GW

Almost, the number of subscribers to whom this electrical capacity was provided hardly reached 2
million.

joint only, and due to the deficit in electricity generation, electric power is purchased from producers

Electricity is from the private sector by the Public Electricity Corporation.

According to the statistics, the supply gap continued

And the demand of about 376MW in 2012 is expanding due to population growth and the limited
generating capacity, a capacity that has been hampered and decreased more recently.

more because of the destructive effects of war, both material and immaterial, which led to the collapse
that

The National Electricity Network is witnessing it at the present time.


Starting from the current situation of electrical energy, we are electrical engineers and application

(Power System Engineering course)

We conducted a semi-simple preliminary study to solve the problem of limited electric power in Yemen
by evaluating the needs of all service sectors, and given that most power plants

In Yemen it was old and incompetent.

The actual electrical power was

Stations with much less capacity

Its nominal, and during the period from 2013 to 2020 it was

Actual capacity about 1GW,

During this study, we made a vision for the electricity network in Yemen in the future, with a capacity of
up to 23.5GW, according to the needs of the population and service sectors, with a load of up to
18.61GW, and the distribution of power plants in the Republic of Yemen according to mineral resources
in various cities of Yemen.
