Story details
Jordan’s Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources released on 10 August 2026 a report titled “A Decade of Achievement” covering the Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Fund’s work from 2015 through 2025. The ministry said 2,288,646 people benefited from its programmes, equivalent to 19.2% of Jordan’s population. The reporting period covers the calendar years 2015 to 2025; the announcement itself came in 2026.
The ministry reported approximately JD152.9 million in cumulative savings on consumers’ energy bills and an estimated reduction of about 883,270 source-reported tons of carbon dioxide emissions. The ministry does not define the ton convention for this emissions figure, so no conversion to metric tonnes is assumed. It also said energy consumption fell by approximately 817.6 gigawatt-hours over the period. These are rounded, multi-year totals as presented by the source. They should not be read as one year’s result, a current annual run rate or a forward projection.
The release also attributes about 681.6 gigawatt-hours of electricity generation to photovoltaic systems supported by the Fund. That is an energy quantity, not installed capacity. As a separate capacity measure, the report says 1,098 facilities implemented renewable energy solutions with combined installed photovoltaic capacity of 69.3 megawatts. GWh and MW describe different physical quantities, so the figures cannot be converted into one another or combined as if they were the same capacity measure.
The Fund said it supported installation of 13,748 renewable energy systems and 45,298 solar water heaters for households. The release lists these as Fund achievements but does not state a separate start or end date for either installation count. It also supported energy-efficiency measures at 162 economic and service facilities. These figures count different kinds of activity: system and heater installations on one hand, and facilities receiving efficiency measures on the other. The release does not say whether a facility could receive more than one measure, so adding these counts would not yield a count of unique projects or beneficiaries.
The report says programmes reached households, schools, hospitals, farms, industrial sites, hotels, municipalities, shelters and places of worship. It describes full and partial grants ranging from 10% to 50%, alongside revolving loans. That range is not presented as one grant rate applied to every applicant; it covers financing tools offered to different groups and programmes.
The Fund’s legislative framework dates to 2012 and its operations began in 2015. The ministry says its next strategic phase aims to extend renewable-energy and efficiency programmes to more households, institutions and productive sectors through 2030. That forward-looking goal is separate from the Fund’s reported outcomes for 2015–2025. Values in the accompanying table reflect the historical figures in the source, with approximation qualifiers retained where the ministry used them. The release summarises aggregate programme effects but does not provide project-level costs, generation profiles or a causal evaluation for each intervention.
