Yemen has recently experienced a severe power shortage, unable to meet the power needs of its population and infrastructure. In 2009, the installed power capacity was about 1.6 GW, while, in fact, the power supply gap was about 0.25 GW. The power development plan (PDP) forecasts and estimates the capacity demand. .
As mentioned earlier, according to the International Energy Agency, in 2000, oil made up 98.4% of the total primary energy supply in Yemen, while in 2017, oil made up about 76% of the total primary energy supply, and natural gas. .
Yemen had a strategy to develop and improve its electrical potential before the events of 2011. The Public Electricity Corporation is responsible. .

[pdf] At the start of January 2017, Costa Rica's 4.9 million-person population ran entirely on renewable energy power for 75 days straight. This was a record-breaking achievement in that Costa Rica was the first nation to power itself completely clean of fossil fuels for this long a timeframe. This summer was an exceptionally rainy one for Costa Rica: while usually the dry season, the sheer amount of power provided from an unusually high amount of precipitation led to a higher than u.
[pdf] Denmark is a leading country in renewable energy production and usage. Renewable energy sources collectively produced 81% of Denmark's electricity generation in 2022, and are expected to provide 100% of national electric power production from 2030. Including energy use in the heating/cooling and transport sectors, Denmark is expected to reach in 2050, up from the 34% recorded in 2021.
