Add to Preferred SourcesThe U.S. Trade and Development Agency awarded a grant to Kawar Energy for a feasibility study that will demonstrate how cloud-based American technology paired with battery storage solutions can strengthen the efficiency of Jordan’s solar power sector. This activity will produce the first demonstration of “virtual power plant” (VPP) technology in Jordan and significantly impact its renewable energy sector.
“This grant reflects USTDA’s ongoing commitment to the Jordanian power sector and our Agency’s direct support for energy diversification in Jordan,” said Todd J. Abrajano, Chief Operating Officer and Head of Agency. “We look forward to this VPP building on USTDA’s previous success with Kawar and giving the company greater access to cutting-edge U.S. technologies.”
The VPP is a cloud-based system that will enable Kawar to control, integrate, and aggregate the output of all its solar power facilities across Jordan. Applying VPP technology with battery storage will also allow more effective management of electricity supply in response to fluctuations in consumption and deliver a more reliable source of clean energy. Massachusetts-based Enon Management LLC will execute the project feasibility study on Kawar’s behalf.
