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).
SCALING UP SOLAR ENERGY INVESTMENTS IN YEMEN IRG areas, consists of short-term contracts (often six months to one year) signed by the PEC with private companies, which own power stations consisting of small diesel generators and which supply electricity to the grid while the government supplies them with the fuel.
Yemen is a sunbelt country with one of the highest levels of solar irradiation and an annual daily sunshine exceeding eight hours. This means that the different solar energy technologies for heating (e.g., Solar Water Heaters (SWHs)) and for electricity production (e.g., solar photovoltaic (PV)) have considerable potential in Yemen.
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.
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.
