Aden Electricity spokesman: Yemeni government deliberately neglects operating Qatari gas station

SMA NEWS – ADEN THE CAPITAL
The official spokesman for the Electricity Corporation in the capital, Aden, Nawar Abkar, said that the legitimate government deliberately neglects repairing and operating the Qatari gas station to generate electricity power.
Abkar said that the Electricity Corporation submitted to the government last November the reform of the Qatari station as part of solutions to confront the heat of the summer of 2022, but the government did not care about that.
Abkar explained that the value of repairing two turbines of the Qatari gas station “Al-Haswa 2” ranges between eight to ten million dollars, which produce fifty megawatts and run on diesel fuel as well.
He pointed out that the Qatari gas station only operated for a few months and was disabled, adding that the concerned authorities pay to purchase the required energy for five months, equivalent to between three and five million dollars, worth 40 megawatts leased.
Abker concluded that the rehabilitation of the Qatari station was among the solutions that Aden Electricity provided to the concerned authorities last November to confront the summer of 2022
