Jordan develops energy storage projects

Energy Storage Technologies: Jordan is exploring energy storage solutions, particularly pumped-storage hydropower (PSH), with intention to establish a storage project at Al-Mujib dam before 2030. This may also present opportunities for the U.S. energy sector. [pdf]

FAQS about Jordan develops energy storage projects

Is battery energy storage possible in Jordan?

In response to this, Fichtner in collaboration with the Jordanian Ministry of Energy and the transmission system operator, NEPCO, has analyzed the potential for battery energy storage and, in the role of Transaction Advisor, is providing support for implementing a pilot project.

What opportunities are there in the energy sector in Jordan?

Energy Technologies: Jordan is exploring energy storage solutions, which may also present opportunities for the U.S. energy sector. Technologies and services related to efficiency gains, including smart metering and grid management, may also find opportunities.

Is Jordan a potential energy producer?

Jordan has medium- and long-term potential as an energy producer of non-conventional and RE. The following are potential opportunities that are either in process or in the pipeline over the medium term: The $2.9 billion project will provide 300 million cubic meters of desalinated water from the Gulf of Aqaba to Amman per year.

Will Jordan be able to generate more electricity by 2030?

It envisions that by the end of 2030, 48.5 percent of the country’s electricity generation would come from local energy sources. Jordan has long-term potential for additional RE, enjoying an average of 316 sunny days per year, having wind speeds ranging between 7 and 8.5 m/s, and having large desert areas with a low population.
