Yémen

Yemen produces and exports oil and gas from its indigenous fossil fuel resources. The country's primary energy consumption is entirely based on fossil fuels. Yemen is also significant in international energy trade due to its proximity to shipping routes. The Yemeni economy relies on the hydrocarbon sector, which accounts for nearly 60% of government revenue.

Yemen also faces low electricity access rates (40%), and its infrastructure is outdated and unable to meet the country's needs, leading to frequent power outages. The government is making efforts to establish and add more electricity capacity in the country and to develop the renewable energy sector. The renewable energy targets aim to have 15% of the installed electrical capacity generated from renewable energy sources by 2025. Yemen is also preparing its National Energy Efficiency Action Plan (NEEAP) to support greater energy efficiency.

Yemen has been a member state of RCREEE since 2008.
