Shams Al Karak
Location: Karak – South Amman, Jordan
Shams Al Karak is a limited liability company specialized in renewable energy projects which generates power for Karak Municipality. This project is being built on an area of 50 dunums of Karak municipality lands located in the Lajoun area, with a production capacity of 3 MWac, and it will cover the cost of 50-60 percent of the cost of the electricity bill for Karak Municipality.
The project was conceptualized to reduce Karak Municipality energy consumption and adapt to a more green and renewable energy source. This was achieved by building wheeling a solar plant project to achieve their desired energy saving. The Karak Municipality granted a long-term lease contract to Alternative Energy Projects Co. to build and operate a 3.65 MWp solar plant. An extension of 1.045 MWp was operated recently reaching around 4.65 MWp total capacity.
