Constant power outage, a nightmare for residents of Aden during summer

Constant power outages in Aden, southern Yemen, have become a nightmare for the residents of the city, especially as summer kicks off.

The repeated complaints of the people to the Ministry of Electricity did not solve the problem; rather electricity comes on for one hour only amid the complete disregard by officials to carry out the necessary maintenance operations for power generation and transmission plants.

Engineer at Aden Electricity Corporation, Wadah Al-Nimri, told A24 News Agency that there is an agreement between the Corporation and the Ministry of Electricity to operate generator four after performing routine maintenance to the network.

It is expected to help improve the network’s status and reduce the duration of electricity outages. Until these promises are fulfilled, citizens will remain deprived of their most basic rights to obtaining a basic service.
