Petri Isotalus, investment director at Taaleri Energia, said: “Taaleri is very pleased to invest in this significant industrial scale solar PV project alongside Masdar, one of the strongest renewable energy companies in this industry.

“Jordan has world-class solar resources and reliable contractual framework for renewable energy. We are very excited to start the construction and production of sustainable and competitive solar power electricity and support Jordan in meeting its renewable energy targets.”

Masdar, a renewable energy corporation fully owned by Mubadala Investment Company, retains its status as majority shareholder of the project, which will sell its generated electricity to the Jordanian National Electric Power Company (NEPCO) under a 20-year power purchase agreement secured in October.
