Jordan’s approach to the development of renewable energy generation infrastructure has long been regarded as a template for other governments in the region.

Jordan’s position in the vanguard of renewable energy deployment was further cemented last year when its Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (MEMR) released a tender for a 30 MW/ 60 MWh energy storage system that would likely be the first energy storage system in the Middle East and North Africa region to be financed on a standalone limited recourse basis.
