Yemen unveils plans for oil, gas operations

摘要

Sanaa—Yemen’s new government has unveiled plans to expand oil and gas operations and build modern gas- and coal-fired power plants in a program being debated in its House of Representatives. The plan demonstrates a clear government focus on modernizing Yemen’s power sector, which currently depends heavily on small 1970s-era generating plants burning diesel to supply electricity only intermittently in most regions of the country.
