Jordan - Al Zaatari PV Power Plant
The project concerns the construction of a solar photovoltaic (PV) power plant with an installed capacity of approximately 13 MW in Zaatari Refugee Camp, 10 km east of Mafraq City. The purpose of the project is to contribute to a sustainable power supply for refugees and to increase resilience of the regional distribution network following the influx of refugees to Northern Jordan. More generally, the project also contributes to the goal of the national strategy to further expand generation from renewable energy, to protect the environment by producing pollution-free electrical energy and to avoid the generation of CO2 at reasonable economic costs.
