Enefit, a joint Estonian-Malaysian consortium, said Tuesday it would abandon its $2.1 billion oil shale project in Jordan if no final agreement is sealed with the government soon, according to Andres Anijalg, project director for Enefit Jordan.
Meanwhile, the government said that it was seeking a lower price per kilowatt than what the company offered.
The company, which plans to build a 553-megawatt oil shale-fuelled power plant, said it has not received a government response yet on a price it proposed to sell electricity from the plant and connect it to the national grid, a matter it said endangers the implementation of the entire project.
