Launch a PPP program for Energy Developers in Jordan
A free 17-page guide · The $500 trillion PPP infrastructure opportunity
What this guide is for
Your company launches a PPP program to develop solar, wind, storage, green hydrogen and grid projects as public-private partnerships (PPPs) and to power the water, transport and industrial projects around them.
The case
Energy developers power every other PPP
Every road, port, water network and data center of the next fifty years will draw on the grid, and much of that power will come from independent producers under long-term contracts. Energy developers that build a PPP program now will supply the power for the rebuild and own the assets that produce it. This guide invites energy developers in Jordan to launch that program, starting with the projects at home.
The guide
Energize the $500 trillion PPP infrastructure opportunity
Your company launches a dedicated PPP program, a team and a set of offers that develop generation, storage and grid projects as PPPs and supply clean power to the projects around them, starting with Jordan’s $86 billion of projects and the $46 billion anchored in Aqaba.
01
A PPP energy team
A dedicated team that knows how PPPs are prepared, procured and financed follows every energy, water, transport and industrial project in the pipeline from the first market sounding and offers each one the power it needs under a long-term contract.
02
Storage and grid
Solar and wind need storage and grid capacity to deliver power when it is needed. The company develops battery, pumped storage, substation and transmission projects as PPPs, so the grid can absorb more of the country’s sun and wind.
03
Power for water, transport and industry
Desalination, water pumping, electrified transport, data centers and industrial zones all need large and steady supplies of power. The company pairs its generation with these projects as a dedicated supplier or a consortium partner, so each one is bid with a known energy cost.
04
Green hydrogen and ammonia in Aqaba
Aqaba combines a port, industrial land and strong sun, the conditions that green hydrogen and ammonia projects need. The company can develop the power, the electrolyzers and the export links in stages, starting with a pilot.
05
Small-scale PPPs and direct proposals
Jordan’s PPP Regulation No. 9 of 2024 defines small-scale PPPs below $14.1 million, which can be bundled into one feasibility report and one tender, and PPP Law No. 19 of 2023 accepts direct private proposals under Article 15. Your company can propose solar for pumping stations, storage at substations or rooftop solar for public buildings and bundle them into one tender.
Why energy developers
Energy developers power every other PPP
Water networks, ports, rail, data centers and industrial zones all run on electricity, and its cost and reliability shape what each project can charge. Energy developers already finance, build and run assets under long-term contracts with government, which is the model every PPP follows.
Where energy developers fit in a PPP
- Generation
- Solar and wind plants financed, built and run under long-term power purchase agreements.
- Storage
- Batteries and pumped storage that let the grid take more renewable power and deliver it when it is needed.
- Grid
- Transmission lines, substations and interconnections with regional grids, built and maintained under concession.
- Supply to projects
- Dedicated power for desalination, water pumping, rail, ports, data centers and industrial zones inside other PPPs.
- New fuels
- Green hydrogen and ammonia for industry, shipping and export, developed beside the port in Aqaba.
What changes for energy developers
AI, robotics and tokenization change how energy assets are planned, run and owned. AI forecasts output and demand and dispatches storage in real time, which raises the value of every kilowatt-hour a plant produces. Robots clean and inspect plants across their whole life at lower cost, and tokenized stakes let regional investors own part of a plant and receive their share of its power sales as they arrive.
Why a program, and why now
An energy developer that waits for the next power tender competes on price for one plant at a time. A program lets your company bring storage, grid and supply projects to government as its own proposals and join water, transport and industrial consortiums as their power partner. Jordan’s pipeline is large and early, and the developers that join those consortiums now will supply their power for decades.
Futureproofing
Futureproof Energy Developers in Jordan for the infrastructure singularity
This free 17-page guide shows how, with small PPPs in parallel, PPP research labs, artificial intelligence, robotics, tokenization and six first steps.
Jordan and Aqaba
An $86 billion pipeline to start with
Every one of them will need power, and the largest water, industrial and port projects will need it around the clock. A Jordanian energy developer that powers one project at home can carry the same model to the next one across the region.

- $46B
- of them anchored in Aqaba
Artificial intelligence
AI lets an energy developer site, size and run its projects on data. Models forecast solar and wind output, demand and grid constraints, so a bid prices storage and curtailment correctly, and the same models dispatch batteries and plants in real time once the assets run. A small team can also read a power purchase agreement and test a financial model in days, which lowers the cost of every bid.
Robotics
Robotics lowers the cost of running a solar or wind plant for decades. Cleaning robots keep panels at full output, drones inspect blades, panels and power lines and report defects automatically, and crawlers survey substations and pipelines, so a small team can run a large fleet of assets and meet its availability targets.
Tokenization
Solar and storage plants with long-term power purchase agreements suit tokenization well, because their revenue is contracted and easy to measure. An energy developer can tokenize stakes in its operating plants, pay holders from power sales as they arrive and publish each plant’s output to the same registry, so investors see what the asset produces.
Small PPPs and research labs
Small PPPs suit energy well, because a rooftop array, a battery at a substation or solar for a pumping station can be built quickly and measured from the first day. An energy developer can run lab pilots across many sites at once, test new storage, dispatch and hydrogen technology on live assets and carry the best results into its large bids.
Unsolicited proposals
An energy developer can see where a public asset pays too much for power or where the grid needs storage. A direct proposal lets it turn that knowledge into a project of its own design, such as solar for a pumping station or a battery at a substation, and keep the right to match the best offer if the project goes to tender.
The program
How the program could work
The program can sit inside the company’s development team, with a PPP lead at its center and the plants, contracts and lenders the company already has behind it.
- PPP team
- A small team of development, engineering, finance and legal people that covers every PPP in Jordan’s pipeline from the first market sounding.
- Generation and fuels
- Solar and wind projects developed as PPPs with storage sized into each bid, and green hydrogen and ammonia projects in Aqaba.
- Storage and grid
- Battery, pumped storage, substation and transmission projects that let the grid absorb more renewable power.
- Power supply
- Long-term supply offers for water, transport, port, data center and industrial PPPs, priced for the life of each concession.
- Direct proposals
- Energy projects brought to government under Article 15, including small-scale PPPs below $14.1 million.
- Technology
- Forecasting, dispatch, robotic cleaning and drone inspection deployed as standard on every plant.
- Partners
- Standing agreements with contractors, operators, banks, infrastructure funds and technology companies that complete each consortium.
What the company gains
The company gains long-term contracts with government, project companies and industrial customers, and equity in the plants that serve them. Each project it powers becomes a reference for lenders and a route into the next consortium, in Jordan and across the region.
It also gains a position in the energy system the rebuild will need. The first developer in the region to pair generation, storage and AI-run dispatch with the water, transport and industrial PPPs around it will set the terms that later projects are priced against.
Next steps
How an energy developer can start
Any energy developer in Jordan can take this guide forward. The first steps use the plants, engineers and lenders the company already has.
01
Mandate
Board approval for a PPP energy program, with its technologies, the equity it can commit and its first-year goals.
02
Team
A named program lead, with development, engineering, finance and legal people drawn from the company’s existing teams.
03
Pipeline
A map of Jordan’s $86 billion of projects by sector and stage, and early meetings with the contracting authorities and sponsors whose projects will need power.
04
Offers
Generation, storage and supply offers packaged for water, transport, port and industrial PPPs and priced for whole-life contracts.
05
Partners
Contractors, operators, lenders, infrastructure funds and technology companies to complete each consortium.
06
Pilot
A first storage, solar or supply project as a small-scale PPP or direct proposal, taken from idea to submission.
Jordan has the projects, strong sun, a port in Aqaba and a law that lets a company propose its own. A PPP program puts your company’s power inside the assets of the superintelligent infrastructure future from their first day of operation.
