Doha, Nov. 11 (Petra)- Construction work for a new solar power plant in Jordan will be launched before the end of this year, said Fahad bin Hamad al-Muhannadi, General Manager and Managing Director of Qatar Electricity and Water Company (QEWC).
This plant, which will have a 40-megawatt capacity, is the result of a partnership agreement between the QEWC, the US company AES and Japan's Mitsui to develop an electricity generation plant, al-Muhannadi announced in an interview with Qatar News Agency (QNA) aired on Sunday.
The stake of Nebras Power, an affiliate of Qatar Electricity and Water Company, is 24 per cent.
Al-Muhannadi noted Nebras Power has carried out a number of construction and acquisition projects for power plants in various countries such as Oman, Jordan and Indonesia, which are operated by different types of fuels, including the solar energy.
Nabras Power has acquired 24% of the IPP4 power plant in Jordan, which generates electricity using natural gas and liquid fuel with a capacity of 240 MW, he pointed out.
Nebras Power, the regional and global leader in the development of power and desalination projects, has developed with its partners the largest solar power plant in Jordan, the Shams Ma'an Solar Power Plant, with a total capacity of 52.5 MW and is currently working with its project partners to develop a new solar power plant in the Kingdom with a capacity of 40 megawatts.
