Shabwa Governor, Awad bin Al-Wazir, has announced that the governorate is on the verge of entering a new phase in energy production, focusing on finding permanent solutions. This statement came during a comprehensive meeting chaired by the governor with the leadership of the Public Electricity Corporation to discuss the establishment of a 60-megawatt gas power plant in Al-Aqla. The plant aims to utilize the gas emissions from the oil production fields, with plans to renew and update its engineering studies.
The meeting, attended by the Secretary-General of the Local Council, Abd Rabbo Hishleh, and the Deputy Governor Assistant, Fahd Al-Tousli, reviewed the joint roles of the Ministry of Electricity and the governorate in overseeing the implementation of the first solar energy project in the governorate, funded by the United Arab Emirates. The attendees agreed on their supervisory responsibilities for the project to ensure its completion according to the agreed-upon design structures and engineering specifications.
This initiative represents a significant step towards sustainable development in Shabwa, highlighting the governorate’s commitment to harnessing renewable energy sources. The collaboration between local authorities and the Ministry of Electricity underscores the importance of joint efforts in achieving energy sustainability and addressing the long-standing challenges in the energy sector.
The move to develop a gas power plant alongside the solar energy project indicates a strategic approach to diversifying energy sources, reducing reliance on traditional oil production methods, and mitigating environmental impacts. This development is expected to pave the way for more sustainable energy solutions in Shabwa and contribute to the broader goals of energy security and environmental protection in the region.
The original article on this significant development in Shabwa’s energy sector was published by Yemen TV, marking a new chapter in the governorate’s pursuit of energy innovation and sustainability.
