Chinese enterprises undertook the construction of the Jordan photovoltaic project started

Construction of the Jordan Dishi 24MW photovoltaic project undertaken by Shandong Electric Power Construction Third Engineering Co., Ltd. has started construction recently. This is the first photovoltaic power plant project undertaken by a Chinese-funded enterprise in Jordan.

Project civil engineering manager Hou Xiaobing told reporters on the 5th that the project is located in the desert area of southern Jordan, which is rich in sunlight resources. The estimated construction period is 270 days. The project consists of a 24 MW photovoltaic power station, using double-sided photovoltaic modules with tracking support technology, and installed more than 60,000 photovoltaic panels. After the completion of the project, the Chinese company will also be responsible for two years of operation and maintenance.

Zheng Hongzhi, the Chinese project manager, said that the use of Chinese photovoltaic power generation equipment and technology in the project will create a large number of local employment opportunities.

Sudan, the project leader of the Jordan Water Authority, the owner, said that the power station was built near a water plant managed by the Water Authority. After the completion of the power station, it will not only better meet the electricity demand in the surrounding area, but also greatly reduce the electrical power of the water plant, increase the water supply capacity of the water plant, and help reduce local water prices.

Jordan currently relies on imports for a large amount of energy and is also one of the most water-scarce countries in the world.
