AMMAN: The MP stated on Thursday that It will be a “major breakthrough” if the government succeeds in increasing renewable energy’s share in the energy mix to 11 per cent by 2025, an MP said Thursday.
Jamal Gammoh, head of the Lower House’s Energy Committee, said the future of Jordan and the best solution for its accumulated energy woes “lies primarily” in maximising its exploitation of renewable energy.
Asked about his opinion on the government’s renewable energy plans listed in the recently launched 10-year blueprint for economic and social development “Jordan 2025”, Gammoh said: “If this government or future ones succeed in raising the share of renewable energy in the energy mix to 11 per cent, it will definitely be a major achievement.”
In the 10-year blueprint for economic development, the government said it would work on increasing renewable energy’s share in the energy mix from 1.5 per cent in 2014 to 4 per cent by 2017, 7 per cent by 2021 and 11 per cent by 2025.
