The Temporary Law on Renewable Energies and Energy Efficiency 3 (which became a permanent law on April 12th, 2012 under the Law No. 13) aims to provide the government with suitable tools to reach the National Energy Efficiency Strategy targets.

Since 2007, the Energy Efficiency Strategy targets 7% of Jordan energy mix to come from renewable energy sources by 2015 and 10% by 2020.

According to the new legislation, the Ministry of Energy is responsible for the identification of a list of Renewable Energy Development Zones to increase the productivity of future renewable energy projects. The Ministry shall issue tenders to attract competitive proposals for the development of Renewable Energies on selected sites. As a way to ease the project implementation process, the 2010 legislation allows domestic and international companies to bypass a previously complex bidding process and negotiate directly with the Minister of Energy. Each Qualified Renewable Energy Plant proposal shall contain a development plan, including a preliminary design, an initial financing plan and a contribution of local inputs to the facility, supplies, construction and operation. The applicant shall prove sufficient experience -five years- in the field of renewable energy development and implementation. Each presented project shall clearly state its fixed electricity tariff and be part of a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with the Bulk Supply Licensee or the Retail Supply Licensee. NEPCO (National Electricity Power Company) is expected to purchase the entire amount of electricity produced by private producers and will provide grid access to each individual renewable energy project.

The law also sets up the Jordan Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Fund (JREEEF). The fund will be financed by national and international institutions, have a legal personality and be ficially and administratively independent. Both national and foreign private companies will be allowed to apply for the Funds support when setting up renewable energy generation projects in Jordan. The Fund provides renewable energy subsidies to privately owned and operated facilities, interest rate subsidies on commercial loans, a Public Equity Fund to support the deployment of private investment in the sector, a renewable energy guarantee facility to ease credit access for energy efficiency and renewable energy project developers and research and technical cooperation grants for targeted programmes and feasibility studies. The Board of Director of the Fund oversees the activities of the Fund, under the chairmanship of the Energy Minister, Secretary-General of the Environment, Planning and International Cooperation and Finance ministers, and three representatives of the private sector.

The Trillion-Dollar AI Shockwave Nobody Is Ready For

The biggest investment opportunity of the AI era has very little to do with software or chips. The market has already priced both. The real story is power: who owns it, where it sits and how cheaply it can be delivered to AI workloads at scale. A small data center company that almost no one on Wall Street has heard of just answered all three of those questions in front of the entire industry. In May 2026, Bitzero Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:AIBZ) signed a binding letter for a 15-year lease with OneQode for the entire 110 megawatts at its Namsskogan,…

Why the Next Billion Barrels of Oil Demand Could Come From Storage

The closure of the Strait of Hormuz and the stranding of more than 10 million barrels per day (bpd) of crude oil in the Persian Gulf was a wake-up call for import-dependent countries to expand their capacity to hold strategic and commercial reserves. Many countries, especially in the Asia Pacific, are looking to build new reserve capacity to boost their energy security and never again be caught off-guard by a massive supply disruption like the one triggered by the closure of the most important oil and LNG chokepoint. From India to Australia, energy…

Trump Admin Takes Aim at Oil, Gas Drilling Costs

The U.S. federal government will reduce costs for oil and gas drillers by slashing red tape for the industry, aiming to tempt drillers to expand on federal lands. In a news release this week, the Interior Department said it would revise the Bureau of Land Management’s rule for federal land leasing for oil and gas drilling as well as the BLM’s waste prevention rule, by essentially loosening both to reduce the cost burden on energy companies. Under the revised rules, the cleanup cost of an abandoned well will fall from $500,000 to as…

The AI Boom Is Set to Fast-Track China's Coming Nuclear Energy Dominance

The United States is still the largest producer of nuclear energy in the world – but probably not for long. Decades of political ambivalence have left the domestic nuclear sector in a state of neglect. Far more reactors are aging out than being constructed, and the country’s few attempts at building new nuclear fission reactors have been controversial, expensive, and slow to get off the ground. After Georgia’s Plant Vogtle finally came online years late and billions over budget in 2024, zero new reactors have since come under…

US Crude Oil Inventories Continue To Falter, SPR Struggling To Pick Up the Slack

The American Petroleum Institute (API) estimated that crude oil inventories in the United States fell by 765,000 barrels in the week ending June 19. In the week prior, US crude oil inventories fell by 8.33 million barrels. Although commercial crude oil inventories excluding the SPR have been falling rapidly for the last 2+ months, shedding 53 million barrels over the last ten weeks, US crude inventories are only down 2.1 million barrels so far this year, according to API data, kept in check by draws from the SPR. Slowing the inventory bleeding…
