RIYADH: The Saudi Development and Reconstruction Program for Yemen on Thursday signed a memorandum of understanding with Yemen’s Ministry of Electricity and Energy and Gulf International Electric Power Co. to launch new power generation projects across several Yemeni governorates.
The signing ceremony, attended by Yemeni Prime Minister Salem Saleh bin Braik and Saudi Ambassador to Yemen Mohammed bin Saeed Al-Jaber, outlines cooperation to implement strategic power plants in Aden, Mukalla, Seiyun, and Taiz, with an initial production capacity of 300 megawatts, the Saudi Press Agency reported.
The memorandum includes provisions for training, sustainability, and implementation according to quality standards and timelines, aiming to improve electricity infrastructure, boost service delivery, and support economic reforms, SPA added.
The SDRPY has already contributed to expanding Yemen’s electricity production capacity and promoting renewable energy.
More than 12 million people have benefited from the program’s projects and initiatives, including the Saudi oil derivatives grant that powered 80 generation stations across Yemeni governorates.
To date, the program has implemented 265 projects across eight vital sectors including education, health, water, energy, transportation, and agriculture.
In a related development, SDRPY also announced the completion of the second phase of Al-Abir Road expansion and rehabilitation project in Hadramawt, extending 40 km from Al-Dhuwaibi to Ghuwairban.

The first phase, spanning 50 km, was completed in May 2024, bringing the total completed length to 91 km.
Al-Abir Road serves as a critical transport corridor linking the governorates of Ma’rib, Hadramawt, and Shabwa, while connecting Yemen with º£½ÇÖ±²¥ and facilitating the movement of people and goods.
SDRPY is also nearing completion of the rehabilitation of Al-Wadi’ah border crossing, one of Yemen’s most important land entry points.
The project includes new and upgraded infrastructure, improved roads and plazas, enhanced power and water sources, and advanced monitoring systems to strengthen trade and travel between the two countries.
