Jordan is set to implement a new electricity law that prioritizes the expansion of renewable energy sources and the attraction of investments in hydrogen production. The law, discussed by Jordan's parliamentary energy and mineral resources committee, is expected to replace provisional legislation dating back to 2002. Saleh Kharabsheh, Jordan's energy and mineral resources minister, highlighted that the law's main objective is to upgrade the electricity sector by concentrating efforts on renewable energy and storage technologies. The focus of the new law includes diversifying renewable energy sources, increasing reliance on these sources, and encouraging local and foreign private investments in renewable energy projects, particularly in green hydrogen. Jordan has already signed agreements with foreign companies to construct ammonia and green hydrogen plants for domestic consumption and export. A target set by Amani Al-Azzam, the secretary general of the energy and mineral resources ministry, aims to produce 600,000 tonnes of green hydrogen by 2030, with a projected output of 3.4 million tonnes by 2050. Currently, solar power and other renewable energy sources account for 29% of Jordan's energy mix, a figure that has risen from 26% in 2021. The country's goal is to increase this share to 50% from renewables by 2030, showcasing a strong commitment to sustainable energy practices and reducing reliance on traditional energy sources.
