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: Abu Dhabi Future Energy Co. (MASDAR), Tamasuk Holding Company (ABGI) and Arab Petroleum Investments Corporation (APICORP). Generating an impressive 390 GWh per year, the Tafila Wind Farm supplies the Kingdom with a notable 3.5% of its electricity needs. 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.

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 privately sponsored utility scale renewable energy developer to negotiate and sign an off-take agreement (PPA) with Jordan’s national distributor and single buyer, NEPCO in November 2013 and its financing, technical, environmental and legal contracts and agreements served as templates for other projects that followed.  The Tafila Wind Farm was the first renewable energy power plant to connect to the national grid and begin commercial operations in September, 2015. The wind farm won IJ Global Project Finance ME Renewables Deal of the Year award in 2013 and has been a Union for the Mediterranean (UFM) labeled project since 2014.
