As most of the population in Yemen live in rural areas and are geographically dispersed, it is costly to connect them to the main grid, making distributed solar PV solutions a critical part of any electrification strategy in Yemen. Figure 1 shows the photovoltaic power potential in Yemen. Figure 1: Photovoltaic (PV) Power Potential
As evident in the previous section, the private sector can play a critical role in scaling up solar power generation in Yemen, especially in the utility-scale and mini-grids sectors.
The International Finance Corporation (IFC) is currently evaluating possible investments in this sector in Yemen, which could potentially improve the prospects of launching the first private sector investment in utility-scale solar power under a BOOT model. SCALING UP SOLAR ENERGY INVESTMENTS IN YEMEN
Investments in the power generation sector in Yemen in general, and specifically in solar renewable power generation, require significant institutional and financial capacity that the public sector currently lacks. That is why partnering with the private sector can represent a key part of the solution to the challenges in the electricity sector.
This can be compared to the average price of more than USD 25 cents/kWh that the Government of Yemen currently pays for diesel-based purchased energy from private producers (fee of the rental generators plus cost of fuel).
Imports of fossil fuels for electricity generation have placed a significant and increas- ing fiscal burden on the Yemeni government over the years, in addition to their impact on foreign currency reserves and balance of trade. Solar energy has the potential to address this challenge and reduce the burden.
