Jordan — Energy Infrastructure

OverWatts maps 35 energy assets in Jordan across 8 layers — the 104th-largest mapped base of 157 countries. They include 19 power plants, 7 cement plants and 2 LNG terminals. Operating generation capacity is 5.1 GW, led by gas at 80%. Refining capacity is about 100 kb/d.

The companies named on the most assets are Central Electricity Generating Co (3), Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit GmbH (2) and Holcim AG (2), counting both ownership and operatorship. Half of Jordan's mapped assets in service predate 2011 (median commissioning year of the 21 with a known date), 6 came online in the past decade and the oldest still listed is Bsaira Cement Plant, dating from 1984. 9 projects are under construction or proposed, led by Masdar-Jordan wind farm (1.0 GW).
