Amman, Jordan, 15 March 2024: Alternative Energy Projects Company has partnered up with Jordan-based development, contracting and investment company Green Sources Investments (GSI) for the development and execution of a utility scale solar PV power plant in Ma’an Jordan.
The solar plant expected capacity of 50MW will contribute to the Kingdom’s ambitions to decarbonize its electricity sector and drive towards a net zero carbon target under the Kingdom’s Nationally Determined Contributions, with the short-term goal of conditional emissions reduction target of over 30% by 2030.
On this occasion, Dr. Hassan Qasem, AEPCo’s CEO said: “We believe in our team and in their capabilities to lead this project to completion. This project will be a flagship project for AEPCo in Jordan and with the recent developments in technology along with the high irradiance values in Ma’an area, we expect to produce a benchmark in energy generation from a solar plant. We are excited to continue building our partnership with GSI and to be part of the Kingdom’s roadmap of carbon footprint reduction started over a decade ago.”
On his part, Mr Maher Al Farraj, CEO of GSI said, “We are pleased to forge this partnership with AEPCo and build on our strong track record in solar project development, finance, execution and asset management. Through our cooperation with AEPCo, we are positioning ourselves at the vanguard of the regional transition to renewable resources, addressing both environmental concerns and the rising demand for sustainable energy.”
With construction slated to begin later this year, the project is expected to create numerous jobs and contribute substantially to local economies. Upon completion, this solar power plant will provide clean electricity to thousands of homes annually while reducing dependence on fossil fuels.
