Jordan''s New Electricity Law Encourages Investment in Energy Storage
Jordan has adopted a new electricity law that replaces the temporary legislation enacted in 2002 and encourages investment in electricity storage and green hydrogen projects
More than 20 percent of the electricity grid in Jordan is powered by solar or wind energy, with a target of 31% by 2030. Exceeding this percentage will be challenging for Jordan unless storage solutions are implemented.
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.
The Aqaba Thermal Power Station is the largest power station in Jordan, with a total generation capacity of 656 MW. It consists of five steam turbines units (5 x 130 MW) and two hydraulic turbines (2 x 3 MW). The power station is fueled by natural gas and fuel oil.
Jordan has no notable bodies of flowing water suitable for the construction of hydroelectric power stations. The only such plant is at the King Talal dam on the Az Zarqa River, with a capacity of 5 MW.
Table 3: Electricity consumption by sector (in GWh) 2008-2013 The Jordanian national interconnected grid transmits electricity from the power stations to the distribution substations and transformer substations in the various regions of the kingdom via 400-kV and 132-kV power lines.
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.
