UAE-supported solar energy station in Yemen to remove people's suffering

The Yemeni government recently inaugurated a solar energy station funded by the UAE. Prime Minister Ahmed bin Mubarak expressed gratitude for this strategic project, highlighting it as a significant step towards clean energy.
Spanning 1.6 million square meters east of Aden, Yemen's provincial capital, the project addresses a brutal electricity crisis in South Yemen, caused by insufficient generating capacity and a fuel shortage. Aden's current reliance on fossil fuels leads to high costs and environmental risks, but the solar energy project aims to improve energy security and sustainability in Yemen.
The ongoing electricity crisis significantly affects daily life, especially during peak summers. Citizens in the southern governorate celebrated the inauguration of Yemen's first strategic project fully funded by the UAE. The Yemeni government held an official ceremony on Monday, attended by several officials, featuring a photo gallery and documentary film showcasing the project's scale: over 211,000 solar panels, more than 900 km of electrical cable, 43,000 pits and metal structures, 12 substations, 9 km of high-voltage lines, all on a 1.6 million square meter site.
More than 2,000 local and international professionals dedicated over 1.3 million hours to the project without any injuries. This solar energy station represents the commitment of both the UAE and Yemen to sustainability. The Prime Minister stressed that the project, implemented by UAE's Masdar, is one of Yemen's most important strategic clean energy initiatives, reflecting the outcomes of climate summits. Minister Bin Mubarak thanked the UAE for their generous support, emphasizing that the plant is a milestone in improving the lives of the Yemeni people.
