New solar tenders planned for Jordan

Jordan is preparing to launch Round 3 of its solar energy project and Round 2 of its wind energy project.

Continuing its trajectory as the regional solar powerhouse, Jordan is putting plans in place for further solar and wind projects within the country. The president of the Middle East Solar Industry Association (MESIA) met with Jordan’s Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Ibrahim Seif when the plans were revealed.

According to the discussions, which also included MESIA outlining ways in which it can collaborate with the country, Jordan will launch Round 3 of its solar tender shortly after the Muslim celebration of EID Mubarak, which began today. During this tender, between 400 MW and 800 MW of solar and wind will be up for grabs, claimed MESIA.
