Status of Jordan Renewable Energy Sector: Problems, Needs and Challenges

Jordan imports most of its energy needs. The energy issue has posed a difficult challenge for Jordan. Its lack of conventional commercial energy resources places a burden on the national economy due to the relatively high cost of imported oil and the high energy investment needed for economic and social development of the country. Renewable energy includes the energy sources that do not consume the resource permanently. These are currents of energy occurring naturally in the environment. These include wind, solar, hydro, geothermal, tides, waves, and biomass. [via]
