The Water Authority of Jordan has announced a tender for the design and construction of solar power plants at multiple water facilities, according to PV Magazine.

The tender is part of a broader initiative to enhance energy efficiency and expand renewable energy use within Jordan’s water sector. The project, supported by funding from the German development bank KfW, aims to integrate sustainable energy solutions into essential infrastructure.

According to the Water Authority, interested applicants can request full pre-qualification documents via email until February 20, 2025. The deadline for submitting pre-qualification applications is March 16, 2025.

Jordan continues to advance its renewable energy goals, with the country reaching a cumulative installed photovoltaic (PV) capacity of 1.99 GW by the end of 2023, as reported by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA). In line with its commitment to clean energy, Jordan introduced a residential solar rebate program in September 2024.
