Renewable Energy in Jordan Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources Sep 2017

Jordan enjoys world class quality solar and wind energy resources • Wind speeds could reach 9. 0 m/s in • High solar radiation figures of 5 – 7 some places. k. Wh/m 2 per day with about 300 sunny days per year. • Wind projects are site specific, feasible and competitive without further • PV are mature, CSP and CPV still concessional support need further development. • Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources www. memr. gov. jo

Small Scale RE Projects This covers consumers from different sectors like residential, industrial, commercial, agricultural…etc. Currently about 132 MW installed capacity by Net. Metering (rooftop systems) and Wheeling. Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources Small scale consumers has been given the opportunity to generate their own electricity and sell the extra (if any) to the distribution utilities at a fixed tariff.

Template Contractual Documents (Transparent Process – Minimum Risk- Less cost) Instructions for developing RE projects (IRPP) Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources Prequalification requirements Land Lease Agreement (LLA) Government Guarantee Agreement (GGA) www. memr. gov. jo

Conclusion Jordan has laid down the necessary policy and regulatory framework for renewable energy, and has already attracted several commercial investments. Template contractual documents (PPAs) and Instructions for developing RE projects do exist. Grid reinforcement (Green Corridor) is undergoing by NEPCO in order to install more RE Capacities. Jordan is now a leading country of Renewable Energy in the MENA Region. Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources www. memr. gov. jo
