Jordan Renewable Energy (RE) Policy Targets
§ Promoting RE to contribute 7% in the primary energy mix in 2015, and 10% in 2020.
§ Main Projects to be developed either through Competitive Bidding, or Direct Proposal Submissions to reach these targets include:
• 1200 MW Wind Energy• 600 MW Solar Energy• 50 MW Waste-to-Energy

RE Regulatory Framework
Ø RE and Energy Efficiency (EE) Law:The Law was issued in April 2012, allowing Direct Proposal Submissions of projects for generating electricity and connecting to the grid.
Ø By-laws and Regulations for Investment:The by-laws and regulations related to RE projects for electricity generation were also issued, mainly:§ The Reference Price List which includes the indicative prices for each type of Renewable Source.§ Sale of Electrical Energy Generated from Small RE Systems (Net Metering – Roof-Tops).§ Connecting RE Facility to Distribution Grid
Source: MEMR
Ø Energy Efficiency (EE) By-law:- Issued on 14 November 2012.- SWHs are mandatory as of April 2013 for new buildings.- Energy Service Companies (ESCOs) market to be regulated.- Labeling is mandatory to all Electrical Appliances.
Ø Tax Exemptions By-law:- Under final approval.- Exempting all RE and EE Systems and Equipment from Sales Tax and Custom duties.- All RE Projects shall enjoy the tax exemptions applicable to Conventional IPP projects.
Ø Ongoing Grid Reinforcement Plans by NEPCOThe so-called “Green Corridor” transmission line is under development, to be ready by 2015 to absorb new renewable power . Source: MEMR

RE and EE Fund
This Fund was established in accordance with Articles of the RE & EE Law aiming to:
§ Provide incentives and financial support for RE and EE measures, studies and projects.§ Promote the use of RE and EE in Jordan.§Encourage private-sector investment in RE and EE
projects and activities.

288 kWp PV Power Pant at RSS in Amman
• In November 2011, NERC designed and installed through a Japanese grant a 288 kWp grid connected PV system within the campus of the Royal Scientific Society (RSS) where NERC exists.
• The utility operator at that time was not obliged to receive any electricity form the system as the connection and feed-in instructions were not issued yet by the Electricity Regulatory Commission (ERC), so the system was equipped with a utility reverse power protection.

Site Analysis
Condition Rating Comments
1 Land geography of the site
The site is not influenced by naturaldisaster like a flooding, strong wind, sandstorm, etc.
○
The strength of the ground stands up tothe weight of PV array and wind pressure. ○
2 Direction (South) ○
3 Situation of around site (Obstructionetc.)
No shadow by building, trees, poles andso on △ The deirection of the slope is up to
South (Recovered by Land leveling)
No burglary ○ Security by the Fence of EHSC
4 Power consumption of the site facility. ○ Consumed by EHSC
5 Visibility of PV system ○

PV Evaluation Field in Ma’an (South)
• In year 2011, NERC signed an agreement with a Jordanian company, aiming to invest in solar electricity generation, to install different PV systems with different cell technologies and evaluate the technical performance of them under the climatic conditions of a site located in the southern part of Jordan. The nominal capacity for each PV system is around 1 kWp or more.
• 8 systems are installed in the evaluation field till the moment.

PV Evaluation Field in Irbid (North)
• In October 2012, NERC installed 5 grid connected PV systems on the rooftop of one of the buildings located within the campus of a University in the northern part of Jordan. The nominal capacity for each PV system is around 1 kWp or more.
• This project was funded by the Regional Center for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (RCREEE) as a research project.
• A central monitoring system was installed. Data is accessible offline and online via the internet.

Testing PV modules and PV inverters at PV Systems Laboratory of NERC
• Outdoor Testing of PV Modules and Arrays:– Testing up to 100 kWp PV arrays (NERC received recently a new IV curve
tracer, the only one in Jordan)– Testing according to IEC 60904-1 entitled “Photovoltaic devices-Part 1:
Measurements of PV current-voltage characteristics”– Correction according to IEC 60891 standard entitled “Procedures for
temperature and irradiance corrections to measured I-V characteristics of crystalline silicon photovoltaic (PV) devices”
• Measurement of PV inverter efficiency:– Testing up to 10 kVA– Testing according to IEC 61683 standard entitled “Photovoltaic systems-
Power conditioners-Procedure for measuring efficiency”
