Energy Storage Technologies: Jordan is exploring energy storage solutions, particularly pumped-storage hydropower (PSH), with intention to establish a storage project at Al-Mujib dam before 2030. This may also present opportunities for the U.S. energy sector.
In response to this, Fichtner in collaboration with the Jordanian Ministry of Energy and the transmission system operator, NEPCO, has analyzed the potential for battery energy storage and, in the role of Transaction Advisor, is providing support for implementing a pilot project.
Work is also underway on a project to produce electricity from direct combustion of oil shale with a capacity of (470) megawatts, to be operational in 2020. The energy sector in Jordan has made significant achievements in recent years, but it faces various challenges.
Jordan also plans to develop a hydrogen strategy for green energy export. The market should be monitored for opportunity over the medium term. Hydrogen production - The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (MEMR) has begun preparing a policy and regulatory framework for green hydrogen production and its derivatives.
These initiatives collectively contribute to the development of robust infrastructure, ensuring efficient storage and management of oil and petroleum products to support energy security in Jordan.
Thanks to the country''s rapid expansion of solar photovoltaics (PV) and wind energy, Jordan has established itself as a trailblazer for the transition to renewable energies in the Middle East.
In this analysis, I delve into the current status of Jordan''s renewable energy storage sector, highlight more than five notable projects, and explore the opportunities ahead.
