Jordan produces 11% of renewable energy

     Renewable energy generation in Jordan currently accounts for 11% of total power generation and is expected to account for 20% by 2020.

    92% of Jordan's energy needs depend on imports, with an annual import volume of about 3 billion, equivalent to 10% of GDP, which has become a major burden on the national economy. Stakeholders of power supply must ensure that the country avoids the threat of power resource shortages .

    Jordan is connected to the natural gas pipeline network of Egypt, Syria and Lebanon, and has become a transit center and "safety valve". Especially after the use of floating natural gas vessels, it is conducive to diversifying natural gas resources.

    Jordan's power connection to Egypt, Syria and Palestine via the power grid is a priority. Jordan is seeking to connect to the Iraqi power grid, which is key to reducing power generation costs and improving power security. Zawati said he hoped that Jordan would begin the connection with Iraq early next year and sought to connect to Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states.
