Inspection of Solar Energy Projects in Al Hodeida
Hodeida – Saba:
Dr. Mishal Al-Rifai, Director of the General Electricity Corporation, inspected on Sunday the progress of work in several solar energy projects currently under implementation in Al Hodeida province.
Accompanied by Deputy Director-General for Distribution and Technical Inspection Affairs, Engineer Mohammed Al-Shaibani, Al-Rifai reviewed the surveying, leveling, and site preparation work for the new solar stations, which are scheduled to enter service in the coming months. This falls within the joint efforts of the Al Hodeida Support and Development Fund and the General Electricity Corporation to enhance the electricity generation system from alternative energy sources.
Al-Rifai, along with the Assistant Deputy Governor, Mutahar Al-Hadi, also inspected project sites in the Southern Square districts, where they observed the progress of construction in the designated areas for solar power stations.
They received a briefing from concerned officials and technicians on the completion level, technical work mechanisms, and remaining implementation phases. Both officials emphasized the continuation of work at a high pace despite the current circumstances.
In Al-Jarahi District, Dr. Al-Rifai examined the technical work in the city and reviewed the efforts of the technical distribution and inspection teams affiliated with the General Electricity Corporation in Al Hodeida. These efforts include preparing transformers, installing collective distribution boxes, and completing network improvements in the city's neighborhoods.
During a field tour through Al-Jarahi's streets and neighborhoods, he reviewed the plan for distributing collective boxes, low-voltage line routes, and distribution transformers.
The visit also included an inspection of the construction site for the electrical transmission line linking Zabid District and Al-Tuhayta City, as part of the internal interconnection project to enhance power supply in coastal districts.
During the visits, Dr. Al-Rifai noted that the inspection aligns with the directives of the leadership and the plan of the government of change and development, which aims to expand electricity services and prioritize Al Hodeida and the coastal Tihama districts—especially after the direct targeting of generation and conversion stations by the Israeli-American aggression.
He appreciated the support of the Ministry of Electricity, Energy, and Water, as well as the efforts of Al Hodeida's leadership in facilitating project implementation. He also praised the technical and field performance of the executing teams.
Al-Rifai considered the ongoing projects a true beacon of hope for breaking the siege and aggression, moving toward enhancing electrical stability by integrating solar energy into the national grid.
