20 MGW of additional electricity power was put into operation Thursday in Marib province. This increase in electricity capacity is intended to cope with increasingly growing demand for power during summer.

Strenuous efforts have already been made to get the work of connecting the province electricity network with the Gas-Power Plant accomplished
