Masdar Group To Set Up 200 MW Solar Power Project In Jordan

Masdar Group To Set Up 200 MW Solar Power Project In Jordan

written by saurabh

Jordan continues to attract significant foreign investment into its renewable energy sector.

Abu Dhabi-based Masdar Group has announced plans to set up a 200 MW solar power project in Jordan. The project shall be the largest solar power project in Jordan. The project development will be overseen by Masdar subsidiary Baynouna Solar Energy Company.

Masdar and Jordan’s energy ministry had signed an agreement to develop the project in January 2016 during the Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week. Jordan’s National Electric Power Company has now signed the power purchase agreement with the project developer.

Once commissioned, the project will generate enough electricity to meet the demand of around 11,000 households and offset around 360,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions every year.

In January 2016, it was also reported that Masdar had joined hands with ABB for the development of solar power projects in Jordan. Substations, required to link power plants to the power grid, and inverters supplied by ABB are already operational at various solar power projects in Jordan.

Jordan has set a target of installing 600 MW of solar PV capacity and 1,200 MW of wind energy capacity by 2020 to reduce its dependence on imported fossil fuels. The country has already conducted a number of auctions to allocate solar and wind energy projects and is planning to conduct more in the near future.

Demonstrate Impact – Competition for Water Technology Now Open for Submissions

Demonstrate Impact – Competition for Water Technology Now Open for Submissions

written by CleanTechies Staff

Water is the source of life. With severe drought plaguing many parts of the world and basic access to clean drinking water a challenge in other parts of the world, innovation is needed to ensure an adequate supply for current and future generations.

The International Water Summit (IWS) and Isle, a global technology and innovation consultancy will launch Innovate@IWS at IWS, hosted by Masdar and taking place during Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week in January 2015.

Are you in the water industry?  Do you have an innovative idea that would be beneficial to the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region?  Now is your time to submit ideas and potentially have the opportunity to demonstrate the potential impact to global experts, end users, technologists, and investors.  All you need to do is submit your entry to the selection committee via the IWS website by November 25, 2014.

The competition categories include ‘Municipal Water’, ‘Industrial Water’, and ‘Water for Real Estate’. Submissions must demonstrate excellence in terms of their impact, innovation, leadership and long-term vision. Shortlisted submissions will be invited to present to a leading panel of experts, capital investors and potential end users from across the MENA region, live at IWS.

IWS offers a unique window to a rapidly growing clean technology market in the GCC, whose governments plan to allocate US$300 billion to water and desalination projects by 2022.  “The region has demonstrated its commitment to seeking, investing and deploying technology to address its water challenges, and Innovate@IWS platform extends that commitment. said Naji El Haddad, Show Director of the International Water Summit.
