Could the IFC invest in solar power in Yemen?
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
What is solar energy investment in Yemen IRG?
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.
Is there progress on solar energy in Yemen?
However, progress towards this target has been non-existent. At the eighth Development Champions Forum (DCF) in Amman, Jordan, held from October 28 to November 2, , the Development Champions therefore focused on solar energy in Yemen.
Why is distributed solar PV important in Yemen?
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
Can the private sector scale up solar power generation in Yemen?
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.
Can solar energy reduce the fiscal burden of the Yemeni government?
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.
