As Yemen grapples with energy challenges, solar photovoltaic (PV) systems have emerged as a vital solution for addressing electricity shortages and empowering communities. This report delves into Yemen''s Solar PV market, focusing on the expansion of off-grid and distributed solar solutions while highlighting new utility-scale projects that
Solar power directly contributes to the Yemen''s energy security and independence, as well as helping to meet rising electricity demand and CO2 emission reduction goals. Despite the COVID-19 impasse, around 141 GW of new solar PV capacity was added worldwide in 2020, about a 14% increase from 2019.
Between 2018 and 2022, the World Bank''s Yemen Emergency Electricity Access Project (YEEAP), sought to leverage solar energy facilities to improve access to electricity in rural and peri-urban areas.
Given Yemen''s high average hours of annual daily sunshine and a significant level of solar irradiation, solar energy is a viable and cost-effective alternative to the currently prevalent fossil fuel-based electricity supply.
The migration to solar power is part of what researchers say is an energy revolution in the country of 28 million, where the electric grid has been decimated by fighting. More than 50 percent of Yemeni households rely on the

The migration to solar power is part of what researchers say is an energy revolution in the country of 28 million, where the electric grid has been decimated by fighting. More than 50 percent of Yemeni households rely on the sun as their main source of energy, and solar arrays power everything from shops to schools to hospitals.

Rassam paid about 50 million Yemeni rials (around $90,000 based on the unofficial market exchange rate) for his system, which is considered large by local standards. The average cost of an array is around $10,000. Rassam financed the solar panels with a loan from Al Kuraimi Islamic Bank, one of the country’s largest private lenders.
Farmer Mohamed Ahmad Sid El Rassam can attest to those benefits. He built a solar-powered water pump on his land in the region of Beni Hocheich. The setup chopped his diesel use by more than 85 percent, saving him 17 million Yemeni rials ($68,000) a year.
“For many in Yemen, especially for farmers, solar power has been a lifeline,” says Matt Leonard, who specializes in microfinance with IFC. “The key now is to scale up its use.” Yemen has long been the poorest country in the Middle East and North Africa, but a conflict that broke out in 2014 has pushed the country to the brink.
In June 2022, the Bank approved an additional US$100 million for the second phase of the Yemen Emergency Electricity Access Project, which is designed to improve access to electricity in rural and peri-urban areas in Yemen and to plan for the restoration of the country’s power sector.
Across Yemen, a growing number of farmers are turning to solar power to irrigate their fields, a shift that comes as the country tries to stave off what the United Nations warns is an impending famine.
