The Jordan Wind Project Company PSC (JWPC)

The Jordan Wind Project Company PSC (JWPC) is proud to have developed Jordan and the region’s first and largest privately-sponsored utility scale wind farm, the 117 MW Tafila Wind Farm located in the southern governorate of Tafila, Jordan.

JWPC is owned by a consortium of three prestigious and experienced international partners which are Paris-based InfraMed Infrastructure Fund, Abu Dhabi-based Masdar Power and EP Global Energy of Cyprus.

Generating an impressive 390 GWh per year, the Tafila Wind Farm supplies the Kingdom with a notable 3.5% of its electricity needs. In addition, the clean power generated by the Wind Farm is produced at substantially lower costs, and saves the emission of 224,000 tons of carbon dioxide annually that would otherwise be produced through conventional electricity generation.

JWPC’s Tafila Wind Farm has indeed placed Jordan on the renewable energy map of the world, and contributed to reducing the Kingdom’s reliance on imported fossil fuels. JWPC has set a precedent for future investments in renewable energy, by being the first private Renewable Energy developer to negotiate and sign an off-take agreement (PPA) with the Kingdom’s national distributor and single buyer, the National Electric Power Company (NEPCO). In November 2013, JWPC’s financing, technical, environmental and legal contracts and agreements served as templates for other projects to come.

JWPC’s 117 MW Tafila Wind Farm was the first renewable energy power plant to begin commercial operations (COD) on September 16, 2015, and is now in its fourth year of operations.

JWPC’s Tafila Wind Farm has become a landmark hub for various academic, professional and official visitors. JWPC also has extensive CSR initiatives and programs that serve to support the local community.
