Jordan is heavily dependent on energy imports. The national energy independence strategy therefore envisages massively strengthening the expansion of renewable energies and generating a large part of the steadily growing electricity demand of its 7.6 million inhabitants from its own regenerative sources. To this end, by 2020, ten percent of the power plant mix is to be covered by renewable energies. Solar energy is to be expanded to 600 megawatts.
