Enviromena Power Systems, a UAE-based international solar photovoltaic integrator, and TSK Group, a Spanish EPC contractor, have been awarded a contract valued at $128 million to build a 103-megawatt solar photovoltaic (PV) power plant in Jordan’s southern region of Al Quweira.

 Jordan’s Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources will fund the $128 million solar plant through a grant from Abu Dhabi Fund for Development.

Sami Khoreibi, Enviromena's CEO said: “This is the largest project Enviromena has been awarded to date and is indicative of the growth of our company and the regional market.   This joint venture will combine both Enviromena and TSK’s expertise and resources to build the largest Solar PV plant in Jordan.

“The Al Quweira solar plant will be crucial to Jordan’s energy diversification programme and significantly reduce the Kingdom’s reliance on expensive hydrocarbons, helping it to reach its target of adding 600 megawatts of solar and wind power by 2016.” – TradeArabia News Service
