The third solar station will provide
power to the InterContinental Aqaba and the Holiday Inn Dead Sea hotels with
electricity with a capacity of 5 megawatts and at a cost of JD3.7 million.
During the construction phase, the station created 100 jobs for Jordanian
engineers and workers.
With the launch of the station, the fund
had fully completed the project for the construction of three solar power
stations with a total capacity of 15 MW and a total cost of JD17 million, with
a payback period of 3 years. This project will reduce the Social Security
Corporation (SSC) utility bill by JD5 million annually. The project also
created 300 jobs for Jordanian engineers and workers throughout the
construction phases.
Saqqaf highlighted the importance of
this project in increasing the competitive advantage of the five hotels owned
by the SSC, due to the significant reduction of its utility bill. The project, which
also provides power to the SSIF and SSC headquarters and branches, is an
important step in investing in the green economy and clean energy.
It worth mentioning that the SSIF is
a major investor in the traditional and renewable energy sectors with an
investment value that exceeds JD100 million.
