Jordan’s Solar Surge: Policy Shifts and Tech Innovations Fuel Distributed PV Growth

Jordan’s renewable energy sector underwent significant transformation in 2024. The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (MEMR) introduced the updated Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Law (12) of 2024, followed by Bylaw (58) of 2024. Effective September 2024, prosumers in Jordan can now choose from four on-grid solar PV connection mechanisms: Wheeling (off-site solar PV systems) Net Billing Zero to Grid Buy-All / Sell-All The bylaw imposes a “Grid Fee” on all mechanisms except Buy-All / Sell-All, with varying rates for different consumer types. Additionally, it set the annual specific electricity production from solar PV at 1,800 kWh/kWp/year and fixed … Continue reading

The Progress of Solar PV Sector in Jordan in 2024

In 2024, Jordan made significant advancements in its solar photovoltaic (PV) sector, reflecting its commitment to expanding renewable energy and achieving greater energy independence. Below is an overview of the key solar energy developments and milestones in Jordan: Installed Solar PV Capacity According to annual reports by Jordan’s grid operators, the total installed on-grid solar PV capacity reached 2,073.86 MW by the end of 2024. This capacity is divided as follows: Distribution System Operators (DSOs): 1,081.86 MW across 74,145 projects. Transmission System Operator (TSO): 992 MW. The largest DSO-managed installations were by: Jordan Electric Power Company (JEPCO): 591.44 MW (32,257 … Continue reading
