The plant is located on 51 hectares of land, around 225km south of the city of Amman. It will produce more than 52GWh per year, the equivalent of providing for 10,000 households.
It is also connected to a substation built and controlled by the state utility, NEPCO, with whom Scatec Solar has signed a 20-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA).
Scatec now has three projects with a combined capacity of 43MW in Jordan.
Scatec was also recently one of a number of firms renegotiating the terms of their PPAs with the Egyptian government in an effort to keep them on the existing development timetable.
