Solar & Storage EPC in Jordan

Jordan built one of the region's most developed distributed solar frameworks out of necessity โ€” it imports most of its energy. Recent reform has removed the ceiling that limited large industrial projects.

The market

Jordan's energy import dependence made distributed solar a national priority far earlier than in the hydrocarbon-rich Gulf, and its regulatory framework matured accordingly. Net metering and wheeling have both been established routes for years.

The significant recent change is the introduction of a Buy-All/Sell-All mechanism for projects exceeding the self-consumption threshold. Commercial, industrial and large rooftop or ground-mount projects can now be designed without the constraint that previously capped systems to on-site consumption. For industrial parks and commercial estates, that reopens a segment that had effectively been closed.

Wheeling is the underused tool. It lets generation at one site serve consumption at another over the public network. For a group with several facilities, one well-sited plant can serve all of them โ€” a structure worth modelling before defaulting to per-site rooftops.

Where we fit

Jordan's industrial zones, hospitality sector and agricultural pumping loads all suit solar, and the wheeling framework suits multi-site groups. High tariffs relative to regional neighbours strengthen the economics considerably.

What we deliver

Frequently asked questions

What is the Buy-All/Sell-All mechanism in Jordan?

A newer framework allowing projects that exceed the self-consumption threshold to sell all generation rather than being constrained to on-site use. It makes large commercial, industrial and ground-mount projects viable that were previously capped.

Does Jordan allow wheeling?

Yes. Wheeling allows generation at one location to serve consumption at another over the public network, which suits organisations operating several sites from a single well-sited plant.

Why is solar attractive in Jordan?

Jordan imports most of its energy, so electricity tariffs are high relative to regional neighbours and the displacement value of on-site generation is correspondingly strong.
