During the meeting, the Qatari emir and the minister went over the latest regional developments and means to deal with them in a way that contributes to resolving regional crises and instills security and stability in the Middle East. Study gives impetus to Jordan’s renewable energy drive The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources together with the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) have launched a study assessing the Kingdom’s readiness for the deployment of renewable energy. Energy Minister Hala Zawati told The Jordan Times on Monday that the IRENA conducted the study, in light of Jordan’s success in exploiting renewable energy resources, whereas the contribution of renewable energy to Jordan’s energy generation rose from less than 1 per cent in 2014, to about 20 per cent in 2020. Zawati added that the study aims at identifying requirements to facilitate the Kingdom’s ongoing expansion of renewable energy use, thereby achieving the objectives set out in the 2020-2030 comprehensive strategy, by reaching a 31 per cent contribution of renewable energy in electricity generation. "The strategy also aims to a greater use of renewable energy in heating water in various sectors, such as the industrial and health sectors, in addition to using it in the transport sector, electric vehicles and energy storage projects,” she added. The Renewables Readiness Assessment (RRA) is a comprehensive tool for assessing the suitability of conditions in different countries for the development and deployment of renewable energy, along with the actions required to improve those conditions, according to the IRENA website. * Source: Jordan Times, Zawya Disclaimer Awraq Investments and its affiliates obtain information from sources they believe to be reliable, but do not warrant its accuracy or fitness for a particular purpose, and disclaim for themselves and their information providers all liability arising from the use.
