The kingdom has actively sought international partnerships and implemented investment incentives positioning it as a promising hub for international investments and initiatives in the renewable energy field. However, Jordan faces challenges and hurdles in its photovoltaic landscape.
Imported natural gas and oil still account for approximately 76% of the electricity generated. Domestic resources, including renewable and traditional energy sources, represent 22% of the energy supply. However, the Jordanian government plans to generate 48.5% of electricity using local sources.
Jordan plans to get 60% of its energy needs from nuclear energy by 2035. According to the JAEC, all evaluations took into account the highest safety requirements, including lessons from the Fukushima incident.
Energy Technologies: Jordan is exploring energy storage solutions, which may also present opportunities for the U.S. energy sector. Technologies and services related to efficiency gains, including smart metering and grid management, may also find opportunities.
The energy sector poses one of the largest challenges for the Jordanian economy because it directly influences economic growth. The country’s high dependence on imported intensive fossil-fuel sources (93% in 2021) has overburdened the national budget.
The global industrial and commercial energy storage market is experiencing unprecedented growth, with demand increasing by over 350% in the past three years. Energy storage cabinets and lithium battery solutions now account for approximately 40% of all new commercial energy installations worldwide. North America leads with a 38% market share, driven by corporate sustainability goals and federal investment tax credits that reduce total system costs by 25-30%.
