In 2020, a solar energy project was put into operation with an installed capacity of 200 MW and following the opening of this facility the total installed capacity of solar energy in Jordan reached 1,831 MW in 2021, representing 75% of the total renewable energy capacity (NEPCO 2021, 2022; MoEnv 2020).
(Abu-Rumman et al. 2020; MEMR 2015). The first round (2012–2015) was focused on the southern region of Ma'an, with a total capacity of 200 MW solar projects and 117 wind farms. The Jordanian government then used the competitive bidding process for the second and third rounds.
Jordan has significant potential to succeed in scaling up its use of renewables, particularly in electricity generation, which could reduce energy prices for consumers and improve energy security.
Imported natural gas and oil still account for approximately 76% of the electricity generated. Domestic resources, including renewable and traditional energy sources, represent 22% of the energy supply. However, the Jordanian government plans to generate 48.5% of electricity using local sources.
Principle activity includes utilization of the enormous reserves of oil shale in Jordan as well as evolving the improvement of renewable energy systems and solar energy as being most
