From Electricity Storage to Green Hydrogen .. Investment Opportunities in the Energy Sector on the Jordanian-European Conference Table
Al-Taj News – The Jordanian-European Investment Conference 2026, scheduled to be held in the Dead Sea area on November 19, opens new horizons for long-term investment partnerships in the energy sector, by presenting diverse opportunities including renewable energy, electricity storage, natural gas, and green hydrogen to European investors, companies, and financial institutions.
The conference is held under the patronage of His Majesty King Abdullah II, and with the participation of European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, in the presence of more than 700 officials, investors, and business leaders, aiming to strengthen economic and investment cooperation between Jordan and the European Union, and to push the presented projects and opportunities toward financing and implementation, supporting the Kingdom’s economy and development.
Investment opportunities in the energy sector rely on Jordan’s resources in solar and wind energy, along with its strategic infrastructure, presenting diverse investment models that take into account the nature and requirements of each project, thereby enhancing energy security and the competitiveness of the national economy.
The Mujib pumped-storage hydropower project stands out among the most prominent projects presented, with a capacity of 450 megawatts and a storage capacity of up to 7 hours, under the public-private partnership model.
The project aims to store surplus electricity produced from renewable energy sources and reuse it during periods of high demand, contributing to enhancing the flexibility and stability of the electrical grid.
Investment opportunities also include a 200-megawatt solar energy project linked to a battery electricity storage system with a capacity of 100 megawatts for four hours, alongside a proposed project to generate electricity from wind energy with a capacity of 100 megawatts.
In the natural gas sector, opportunities stand out for developing infrastructure to process and transport local gas in the Risha region, alongside expanding natural gas services through the city gas project in Amman and Zarqa, targeting homes and economic facilities, as part of a trend to strengthen clean energy infrastructure in Jordan.
In the field of green hydrogen and ammonia, Aqaba seeks to consolidate its position as a regional gateway connecting Jordan’s renewable energy resources to export markets, opening the door for investments in clean fuel production and developing the necessary infrastructure for it.
The importance of the conference stands out in bringing project owners, investors, and financing institutions together within a single platform, enabling the discussion of investment opportunities and their technical and financial requirements, and building partnerships that benefit from European expertise in modern energy technologies.
