Jordan’s Samra Electric Power Generation Co. has entered into an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) agreement with SITE Technology General Contracting for the development of a 25MW wind power project in Ma’an Governorate. The project, which will receive full funding from the UAE government, represents another step in Jordan’s ongoing efforts to strengthen its renewable energy portfolio while reinforcing bilateral cooperation with the United Arab Emirates.
The EPC contract for 25MW wind power project the includes the design, supply and installation of five wind turbines at Batn Al Ghul. The initiative is being implemented under the cooperation agreement signed in February 2026 between Jordan’s Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources and Abu Dhabi Future Energy Co., widely known as Masdar.
The 25MW wind power project is expected to support Jordan’s long-term strategy of increasing clean electricity generation while diversifying its energy resources. As part of its national energy strategy, Jordan has continued expanding renewable energy capacity, with renewable sources now contributing approximately 27 percent of the country’s electricity generation. The government is targeting a share exceeding 30 percent by 2030 through the addition of new solar, wind and energy storage projects.
Jordan-UAE Energy Cooperation Continues to Expand
Jordan’s renewable energy ambitions were further reinforced in May 2026, when the Cabinet approved the country’s 2025–2035 energy strategy. The roadmap seeks to increase renewable energy’s contribution to 40 percent of the electricity mix by 2035, alongside broader expansion of wind and solar generation capacity and continued progress on green hydrogen initiatives.
The agreement also complements broader renewable energy cooperation between Jordan and the UAE. In June 2026, Jordanian Prime Minister Jaafar Hassan met with Masdar CEO Mohamed Jameel Al-Ramahi to discuss expanding the company’s investments across the country, including wind energy developments with a combined capacity of 2,000 MW. Technical studies for those projects are being completed ahead of implementation.
During the discussions, the prime minister pointed to the UAE-funded 25 MW Batn Al Ghul wind project as an important component of Jordan’s plans to increase renewable energy’s contribution to the national electricity mix while enhancing long-term energy security.
Masdar has already established a significant presence in Jordan through the 200 MW Baynouna Solar Power Plant, the country’s largest solar project, and also holds a 50 percent stake in the 117 MW Tafila Wind Farm.
