Energy Council Addresses Electricity Challenges in Aden

The Supreme Energy Council convened today in Aden, the temporary capital, under the leadership of Prime Minister Dr. Ahmed Awad bin Mubarak. The meeting focused on several decisions and measures aimed at improving electricity conditions in Aden and other liberated provinces. These initiatives aim to prepare for the upcoming summer and address the pressing need for increased energy generation and fuel supply.

Plans for Summer Energy Security

Addressing Sector Needs and Reform Efforts

The council also examined the electricity sector’s needs and coordinated efforts with the Presidential Leadership Council to implement the Summer 2025 plan. They highlighted the significance of ongoing financial and administrative reforms in this vital sector. Enhancing transparency and accountability remains crucial to overcoming challenges that could hinder effective problem-solving.

Financial Accountability and Fuel Management

To ensure financial accountability for energy fuel, the council assigned a committee comprising representatives from the Ministries of Finance and Electricity, the General Electricity Corporation, the Cabinet’s General Secretariat, and local authorities in liberated provinces.
