Technical Feasibility Assessment of Thermal IPP Sites
Middle East and North Africa
October 22, 2020K&M was engaged by the International Finance Corporation (IFC) to assess the technical feasibility of three potential sites for a thermal IPP project in Yemen. For each site, K&M evaluated potential environmental and social issues, access requirements, and associated infrastructure needs for fuel supply and power evacuation. K&M reviewed local electricity supply and demand needs, including seasonal factors, peak and off-peak demand, dispatch procedures, right-of-way issues, and transmission and distribution reliability and losses. K&M compared the sites and recommended the most suitable site for the development of the project.
