Jordan Investment Board (JIB) on Sunday signed two memoranda of understanding with companies from Venezuela and Russia to carry out mega-projects in the Kingdom’s energy sector.
According to a JIB statement e-mailed to The Jordan Times, Venezuela’s Pacific Rim Energy intends to expand its operations in the Middle East region through Jordan by carrying out a $200 million solar power project in Maan, south of the Kingdom, and Mafraq, northeast of Amman.
Fidel Othman, the company’s representative in Jordan who signed the memo with JIB Acting Chief Executive Officer Awni Rushoud, said the renewable energy scheme aims at producing 200 megawatt of electricity from solar power, the statement noted.
