Project Description

The project consists of the construction, operation and maintenance of a 117 MW wind farm and associated facilities in the Tafila region of Jordan some 180 km south of Amman and 180 km north of the Port of Aqaba (the Project). The Project will be an independent power producer (“IPP”) and all the output generated will be sold to the country’s single buyer, National Electric Power Company (“NEPCO”), under a 20-year Power Purchase Agreement (“PPA”). The Project is expected to be Jordan’s first renewable energy IPP.
