Marib faces complete darkness due to power cuts  

MARIB, July 23 (YPA) – Yemen’s northeastern province of Marib has been living in complete darkness since dawn Sunday due to a gas-powered station out of service, causing complete power cuts in the province and its districts.

A source at the Marib Electricity Corporation reported that a technical team is working to fix a defect in the gas-powered station caused by a turbine stopping.

The Marib gas-operated plant is experiencing technical malfunctions as Aggreko Energy Company stopped providing electric energy to Marib late last year. This issue stems from the Saudi-led coalition and Islah Party authorities’ delay in paying owed amounts to the company.
