Description
The EBRD has provided a USD 30 million loan to finance the establishment of Jordan's first district energy plant, which will be the exclusive provider of cooling and heating energy, and as such, is a cornerstone in the success of high profile Abdali Urban Regeneration (AUR) development in Amman, the capital of Jordan. This private sector development aims to attract much needed foreign direct investment (FDI) into Jordan, and is expected to raise Jordan's business profile significantly by establishing, for the first time, a professional business district in the heart of Amman. This business district is expected to host large and international banking corporations and organisations, as well as other organisations in health care tourism and retail.
The loan will finance the construction of a new permanent plant, which will assume the current limited capacity of an existing temporary plant and will consequently have a total of 30,000 tonnes of cooling output and approximately 50,000 kw of heating output (the "Project").
More importantly, the Project is setting a benchmark for the efficient use of energy in the development of large projects in Jordan. The Project is expected to create around 41 per cent savings in annual energy consumption for cooling and heating as compared with the use of common practice decentralised energy provision.
