Minister of Electricity and Energy Mustafa Bahran and chairman of British Manj Company Ken Johns, signed a memorandum of understanding on Tuesday regarding the establishment of a wind power plant in Yemen.
According to the memorandum, the company will undertake a study into the feasibility of generating wind power in Yemen with the intention of generating 1,000 Megawatts of electricity within the next five years.
Bahran pointed out that the study is an important step in enabling the ministry to implement wind power projects in Yemen and added that the World Bank has already carried out a similar study in al-Makha.
Ken Johns expressed the Manj Company's aspirations to invest in wind power in Yemen and said that the feasibility study would clarify the costs, prices and time needed to implement such projects.
