The project is financed by the Arab Fund for Economic and Social Development, the Saudi Fund for Development and the Government of Yemen.
Yemen plans to add another 3,000 MW of installed capacity in the next 4-5 years, which will present an opportunity to BHEL to further expand its operations in this country.
