1.0 Background:

The government of the Republic of Yemen, represented by the ministry of

Electricity and Energy, based in the interim capital Aden- Republic of Yemen
is actively working to replace Al-Hiswa and part of Al-Mansoura power plants
by leasing FSRU for generating 400MW initially.

Therefore, the Government has decided to start generating electricity with

Natural Gas-NG starting from this summer, and it has sets up certain
requirements to overcoming Aden’s and the neighbouring areas of electricity
shortages and to end gradually the huge consumption of liquid fuels.

To improve its international competitiveness and reduce its dependence on

importing liquid fuels, the Government of the Republic of Yemen has
implemented a short-term strategy to diversify its energy supply. The purpose
of this strategy aims at supplying Al-Hiswa and Al-Mansoura power plants
with natural gas, and to secure, supply and contract international companies
to ensure long-term stability in energy prices and environmental sustainability
in energy provision. The initial estimate of demand is equivalent to
approximately 0.72 million tonnes of LNG per year in Aden.

The PEC plan to charter FSRU’s of capacity (60,000 - 90,000 tonnes) for its
requirements. PEC would like to further discuss the storage and gas capacity
with the vendors to optimize project requirements. The location details of
potential sites FSRU based on Google maps, Bathymetric charts and
navigational charts are given in figure-1.
Description of Hiswa project:
- Generating 150 MW.
- Fast truck project through Sale or rent of FSRU with all associated jittery line.
- jittery pipeline to Hiswa power plant must be designed 1 to 3 km.

Figure 1: Option 1 Al-Hiswa Power Plant google map and the proposed location for FSRU and the
Pipeline distance between Al-Hiswa and Al-Mansoura and with the highly recommended route for
pipeline.

Description of Mansour project: -

- Mansoura power plant 150 MW.
- The purpose is to replace the rental diesel power 100MW by Natural Gas.
- The total available power ready to operate is 300MW by Natural Gas.
- Using LNG (Gas) is very much possible taking into consideration the
successful examples in the Arab countries and elsewhere in the world.
- The gas pipeline between Hiswa and Al-Mansoura length is 9KM, and must
be installed in parallel with existing HFO Fuel pipe which supply Al-Mansoura
from Aden Refinery.
- The FSRU capacity must cover supply LNG to generate 300-600 MW and
1000 MW on the near future.
2.0 General Information:
The PEC has short-listed potential sites in Hiswa Power plant for setting up
FSRU. This has been designed and commissioned to show the exact and
finalize of the firm location. The location may fall near the following reference
