Sterling and Wilson Solar on Tuesday said it has commissioned 66 MWp Al Husainiyah solar power plant in Jordan. The project will save around 50,000 tonne of carbon emissions annually, thus reducing the dependency on fossil fuels and unlocking large scale solar opportunities for Jordan, a company statement said.
The project is critical for Jordan’s economic growth as it will reduce its reliance on costly hydrocarbon imports for power generation, Amit Jain, Global CEO, Sterling and Wilson Solar Group said. The company has been executing projects globally and has to its credit more than 11.4 GWp of solar power projects in various geographies.
