This document provides an overview of Jordan's power system and renewable energy plans. It discusses Jordan's generation capacity, fuel sources, expansion plans, and targets to increase the share of renewable energy to 10% by 2020 through developing 1200 MW of wind power and 600 MW of solar power. It also outlines challenges for renewable energy integration such as high capital costs, lower capacity factors than conventional sources, and environmental limitations. The document presents Jordan's strategy to diversify energy sources and reduce dependence on imported fuels through energy efficiency and domestic resource utilization.

16. Jordan Renewable policy targets
• 2007 Energy Strategy, has set ambitious goals for the
development of RE:
• By the year 2020, the share of RE in primary energy
supply is to increase from the current 1% to 10%.
– wind power (installation of about 1200 MW),
– solar power (600 MW) and
– waste/energy (30-50MW).

17. National Energy Strategy
• Diversify our energy resources
• Reduce dependence on imported energy The strategy
aims to reduce dependence on imported energy from
96% in 2007 to 75% in 2015, and 61% in 2020 through:
– Energy conservation and awareness. Studies indicate
that Jordan is capable of reducing 20% of its energy
consumption via energy conservation
– Expand on renewable energy projects (wind , solar,
biofuels- 10% by 2020)
– Utilize domestic resources (oil shale, natural gas, etc.)

18. Renewable Energy & EE Law
• The Law was Approved in Feb, 2010
– Allowing the government to establish companies for
implementing RE project with the participation of the
private sector
– The mechanism of dealing with any proposal submitted
to the government by the private sector
– Awarding special certificate by the government to RE
project
– Electric tariff for RE projects

19. Renewable Energy Law / Energy
Efficiency Fund…(Financing)
– Incentives (Tax and custom duty and land
leasing breaks )
– A fund to be known as (Renewable Energy and
Energy Efficiency Fund) A fund which will be
used for “supporting” renewable energy and
energy conservation projects.
– The Fund shall enjoy all exemptions and facilities
provided for Ministries and government
departments.
- Global Environmental Facility GEF

20. Economic Indicators:
• 1800 MW RE mix in 2020 as considered in
Government policy fits with the potential analysis
and with the Network capacity limits.
• Indicative prices range are different following
different technologies. Within each technology
Prices are most sensitive to Capacity Factor and
Investment Cost, and financial variables.

29. Uranium:
Jordan has an estimation of 80,000 tones of
uranium deposits plus 100,000 tones in its
phosphate reserves. Jordan has taken
practical steps to start extraction of uranium
deposits.
Jordan has signed in February 2008 an
agreement with AREVA (a French company)
to start extraction of uranium in a specified
location in the central part of Jordan.

30. Oil Shale
 Oil shale in Jordan is available in big
quantities in Jordan. These
quantities are estimated at about (40)
billion tons.
 Major deposits are located in the
central part of Jordan
 The negotiation with EESTI
ENERGIA to build an Oil Shale
Power Plant (OSPP) using direct
burning technology with a proposed
capacity up to 900 MW is still going
on
 The OSPP is expected to be in
operation by the end of year 2016.

31. Challenges against RE
 RE may located far from the existing grid,
interconnecting a renewable energy resource
to the grid could trigger the need for tens of
millions .
 RETs have high capital investment costs
compared with conventional technologies.
 RE have very low capacity factor comparing
with conventional technologies
 Non confirmed capacity to the network
therefore we cannot consider in our
generation plan.

32. Challenges against RE
 Environmental Limitation
• Wind:
1-Noise level of wind energy is very high
2- bird migration
3- one MW of wind energy need 10,000 square
meter
• Solar:
1- Dust :Low efficiency and added cost cause of
dust .
2- One MW of P.V energy need 25,000 square
meter
