Al Mansoura stands as Yemen's fourth largest power generation facility, holding a capacity of 139 MW. This ranking is particularly significant in a country where total electricity generation capacity is just 1,045 MW across seven plants. Al Mansoura plays a critical role in stabilizing the regional grid, contributing approximately 13.30% of the nation's total capacity. As Yemen's third largest oil plant, it underscores the country's reliance on oil as its dominant fuel source. The facility utilizes oil-fired generation technology, which enables it to provide a reliable output amidst the challenging energy landscape of Yemen. With significant nearby plants such as Al Hiswa, which has a capacity of 125 MW, and Khormaksar, producing 30 MW, Al Mansoura is part of a compact energy cluster, showcasing the essential role of oil in the region's energy mix. In contrast, the country’s average capacity per plant is approximately 149 MW, indicating that Al Mansoura is slightly below average, yet still vital to local energy supply. The Public Electricity Corporation operates this facility, which adds to the state-controlled energy infrastructure that characterizes Yemen's power sector. As the country continues to grapple with energy challenges, Al Mansoura’s role becomes increasingly pivotal, not only in terms of energy security but also in potential economic revitalization as efforts to stabilize and develop the energy sector progress.
