Background Information

The second phase of the Yemen Emergency Electricity Access Project II (YEEAP II) seeks to improve access to electricity for households & provide electricity to critical service facilities in rural & peri urban areas within the Republic of Yemen. The project is financed by the World Bank (grant from IDA) & implemented by our client.

To achieve the project’s objectives, our client will engage Solar Microfinance Institutions (MFIs), solar installers & suppliers, technical service providers & other stakeholders. The Project will finance distributed solar solutions to provide urgently needed access to electricity in Yemen.

The project consists of three components:

1. Electricity in rural & peri urban areas (electricity for households, electricity for critical services facilities & support to COVID-19 isolation units & vaccine cold chain).

2. Implementation support, market development & technical assistance for power sector sustainability.

3. Contingent Emergency Response Component (CERC).

Yemen's energy crisis, due to generation deficits, poor infrastructure, fossil fuel dependence & a collapsed financial model, has led the Ministry of Electricity & Energy (MoEE), with partners, to host the Yemen national energy conference from November 2 – 4, 2025.

The conference, themed "sustainable energy for Yemen’s recovery," aims to foster dialogue, integrate global experiences & climate finance & build consensus on a comprehensive roadmap for sector reform & green recovery.

Preparatory strategic intelligence & situational analysis are crucial to shaping the agenda & guiding discussions. Outputs from these consultancies will inform the electricity sector reform strategy.

The YEEAP II, specifically sub component 2.3, will support comprehensive reform by deploying experts to address inefficiencies & establish a robust framework for electricity access.

• Lead energy sector data acquisition from government, regulatory bodies & energy companies. Responsibilities include cleaning, validating, structuring & maintaining a robust, consistent master dataset.

• Establish a comprehensive data baseline for Yemen's energy sector (supply, demand, tariffs, technical & commercial losses, utility performance).

• Build & run energy demand & supply forecast models through 2030 under multiple recovery scenarios.

• Conduct detailed economic & financial analysis of tariff structures, subsidies & cost recovery options.

• Perform cost benefit analysis & feasibility studies for priority projects (solar, wind, mini grids & grid upgrades).

• Quantify macroeconomic impacts of a functioning power sector (GDP growth, job creation, private sector development).

• Provide economic justification for PPP / PPA frameworks & investment incentives.

• Develop financial models for pilot projects to be launched at the conference.

• Assess economics of rural electrification & decentralized renewable energy solutions.

• Produce compelling data visualizations (charts, dashboards, annexes).
