The Saudi Development and Reconstruction Program for Yemen (SDRPY) has inaugurated a project to rehabilitate electricity networks, raise efficiency, enhance capacity and address high electrical loads and power outages in Yemen’s Al-Mahra governorate. The project will serve 10,000 beneficiaries in the Al-Sadah and Al-Souq areas of Al-Ghaydah directorate. Al-Mahra Governor Mohammed Ali Yasser laid the projects foundation stone in the presence of Minister of State Sheikh Mohammed Abdullah Keda, Al-Mahra Secretary-General Salem Abdullah Nimer, and SDRPY Al-Mahra Office Director Eng. Abdullah Basulaiman. "We and our brothers and sisters in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia have one body and one homeland," Yasser said. The governor expressed great pleasure at the launch, stressing SDRPYs work on a number of projects furthering positive transformation of services in the province. He voiced thanks to the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz, and Crown Prince, Mohammed bin Salman, for their keenness on the Yemeni people, and also SDRPYs supervisor and personnel for all their efforts across Yemen. He cited in particular the King Salman Medical and Educational City project in Al-Mahra. The electricity project aims to rehabilitate electrical grids, address and resolve the bottlenecks in medium- and low-voltage networks in residential and commercial districts, ease the flow of power through the electricity grid, reduce power cuts, strengthen resilience to weather conditions, and enable absorption of new loads. The project is increasing the production capacity of the current Al-Ghaydah power plant by 75%, adding 10 megawatts and five transformers of 3 megawatts each to reduce frequent interruptions and help accommodate high demand for electricity in the two areas.
