Potential for the penetration of renewable energy sources in Jordan’s energy system

Jordan’s high dependence on imported energy is a serious ecological and economic problem. It is currently importing almost all of its primary energy, mostly in the form of oil and natural gas. These figures are not sustainable in the long run and such a high level of dependence on imported energy is unnecessary for a country as rich in renewable energy sources such as Jordan. This paper will present the possibilities for the integration of renewable energy, namely wind and solar, in Jordan’s current energy system using the EnergyPLAN model. It will show the impact of higher penetrations of renewables on the production of critical excess electricity, CO2 emissions and cost of the system, both with and without energy storage.
