GE to develop first wind farm project in Jordan

09/04/2018 Argaam

 

GE Renewable Energy, a $10 billion startup, on Monday said it will provide wind turbines to Mass Energy Group Holding, a subsidiary of Mass Global, to develop a 100 MW mass wind project in Jordan.

 

The greenfield wind project in Rashadeh will power requirements of over 150,000 homes and reduce carbon emissions by 233,800 metric tons annually, the company said in a statement. The project is expected to be operational by end-2019.

 

Jordan's Vision 2025 aims to increase the share of renewable energy in the total energy mix to 11 percent and drive domestic energy production to 39 percent.  

 

GE has already supplied two wind turbines to Saudi Arabia and Oman's Dhofar windfarm, the statement said.
