    A summary of the energy infrastructure

    17 Jordan’s energy infrastructure is a blend of traditional and renewable energy sources, with significant efforts to diversify and enhance energy security. The country relies heavily on imported natural gas and oil due to limited domestic production. However, Jordan has substantial potential for renewable energy, particularly solar and wind power, and has been investing in these areas.

    Key components of the energy infrastructure include thermal power plants, renewable energy plants, and a national grid managed by the National Electric Power Company (NEPCO). The government has set ambitious targets to increase the share of renewable energy, aiming for 20% by 2025, and has implemented various incentives and regulations to encourage investment in this sector.

    Some of the government regulations surrounding solar panel production

    In Jordan, the regulatory framework surrounding solar panel production and installation is designed to promote the adoption of renewable energy while ensuring safety and efficiency. Here are some key regulations and policies:

    Technical Standards and Certification: The Jordan Standards and Metrology Organization (JSMO) sets technical standards for solar panels and related equipment to ensure quality and safety. Certification is required for all solar products to be used in the country.18

    Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA): Large-scale solar projects are required to undergo an EIA to assess their potential environmental impacts. This ensures that projects are developed sustainably and with minimal negative effects on the environment.19

    Government initiatives in solar panel production (includes investments and subsidies)

    The Jordanian government has been actively investing in solar energy and manufacturing. In 2023, the Jordanian government announced plans to build a major solar panel manufacturing plant southeast of the Amman airport area, with an investment of USD 141 million.20

    Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Law (REEL): Enacted in 2012, this law provides the legal basis for the development of renewable energy projects in Jordan. It allows for direct proposals for renewable energy projects, bypassing the competitive bidding process, which accelerates the implementation of such projects.21

    Net Metering Regulations: These regulations allow consumers who generate their own electricity from solar panels to feed excess electricity back into the grid. This helps reduce electricity bills and promotes the use of solar energy.22

    Jordan Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Fund (JREEEF): This fund provides financial support for renewable energy projects, including grants and low-interest loans. It aims to facilitate the adoption of renewable energy technologies across different sectors.23

    Tax Exemptions and Incentives: The government provides various financial incentives, including exemptions from sales tax and customs duties on renewable energy equipment. This reduces the initial cost of solar installations and encourages investment in solar energy.24
