Story details

Jordan’s energy minister inaugurated a 2 MW industrial solar energy project on 28 September at the Khairat Al-Shamal–Dajaj Al-Khair feed factory in Mafraq. Petra reported that it includes a 1 MW photovoltaic plant for electricity generation and a separate 1 MW PV-to-Heat unit for industrial steam.

The ministry said the heat system can produce up to 1.35 tonnes of steam per hour. The announcement presents the installation as linking agricultural production with renewable energy; it does not give measured energy savings or operating-cost reductions for the facility.
