Launch a PPP program for Organizations in Tafileh

A free 17-page guide · The $500 trillion PPP infrastructure opportunity

Share

What this guide is for

Your organization launches a PPP program that turns Tafileh’s wind, minerals, nature and towns into public-private partnerships (PPPs) it can prepare, bid for, build, finance or operate, starting with the energy, mining and tourism it already works in.

The case

Tafileh’s organizations can build the place they work in

Tafileh’s largest projects have mostly been decided and financed elsewhere, and most of the governorate’s organizations have watched them from the outside. The projects of the next fifty years will be prepared, built and run by many organizations at once, and the ones that start their own programs now will own a share of the place they work in. This guide invites organizations in Tafileh to launch a PPP program, starting with the projects at home.

The guide

Power the $500 trillion PPP infrastructure opportunity with Tafileh’s wind

Your organization opens a dedicated PPP program, a team and a set of offers that take part in Tafileh’s energy, mining, tourism, water, education and town projects around its wind farms, mines and reserve, as part of Jordan’s $86 billion of projects.

  1. 01

    A Tafileh PPP team

    A dedicated team that knows how PPPs are prepared, procured and financed follows every project in Tafileh from the first market sounding and decides early where the organization can prepare, bid, build, finance or operate.

  2. 02

    A place in the governorate’s consortia

    Municipalities, energy and mining firms, contractors, lodges, the governorate’s university and local investors join the consortia that bid for Tafileh’s projects, bringing the land, the technical skills and the local workforce that outside partners need.

  3. 03

    Projects around wind, minerals and nature

    Wind and solar power, phosphate mining at Al-Hasa, water and visitor services at the Dana Biosphere Reserve all depend on each other in Tafileh. An organization that understands those links can shape projects that serve several at once.

  4. 04

    Tafileh-led direct proposals

    Jordan’s PPP Law No. 19 of 2023 accepts direct private proposals under Article 15. An organization in Tafileh can design a project around a need it sees every day, such as a solar plant for a town, a training center for wind and mining technicians or a water reuse plant, and propose it with partners who finance and build it.

  5. 05

    Pilots as small-scale PPPs

    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. A small concession in Tafileh gives the organization a live asset, a reference and a place in the larger projects that follow.

Why organizations in Tafileh

Tafileh’s organizations can build the place they work in

Tafileh holds wind farms, phosphate mines at Al-Hasa, the Dana Biosphere Reserve, a technical university and a stretch of the King’s Highway. Each new project depends on the organizations already working there, and each one can make them partners in what is built.

Where organizations in Tafileh fit in a PPP

Preparation
Local data, land and needs that shape projects the governorate can use and investors can finance.
Tender
Places in consortia beside international developers, contractors and operators.
Financial close
Equity, land contributions and local investors beside the banks and funds.
Operation
Operators, technicians and a workforce that run the asset in Tafileh for decades.
Exit
Stakes that local and national investors can buy, including tokenized notes.

One place, many linked projects

Wind farms, solar sites, phosphate mines, the Dana Biosphere Reserve, the King’s Highway, water, roads and the services of its towns all sit within a short drive of each other in Tafileh. A project in one of them changes the demand for the others, which gives organizations that see the whole governorate an advantage in shaping the next one.

Why a program, and why now

Jordan’s energy, mining and tourism projects are taking shape, and many pass through Tafileh. A program gives an organization in Tafileh a team, a pipeline and partners, and the first organizations to join will help set the standards the rest of the governorate follows.

Futureproofing

Futureproof Organizations in Tafileh 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

Many of them will reach governorates like Tafileh and need local partners to build and run them. An organization that delivers one PPP in Tafileh can carry the same team to the next project across Jordan’s governorates.

  • Artificial intelligence

    AI fits Tafileh’s energy and mines first. It can forecast wind output, plan maintenance on turbines and mining equipment, track dust and water use around the mines and plan visitor flows to the Dana reserve. An organization in Tafileh can bring those tools into every concession it joins and use the same data to find the next project worth proposing.

  • Robotics

    Wind farms and mines are places where robots and drones already do useful work. Drones can inspect turbine blades and power lines, automated trucks and drills can work the phosphate pits more safely and inspection robots can keep pipes and roads in shape. The organizations that run them will need Jordanian technicians trained in Tafileh to operate and maintain them.

  • Tokenization

    Tokenization lets the people and companies of Tafileh own a share of the projects around them. An organization can offer tokenized stakes in a wind turbine, a solar plant or an eco-lodge to local and national investors, pay them from the asset’s own revenue and keep the governorate’s savings working at home.

  • Small PPPs and research labs

    Tafileh is small enough to test a new idea quickly and skilled enough in energy and mining to prove it. An organization in Tafileh can host a PPP research lab, run pilots on its own land and assets and publish every result, so the pilots that work in Tafileh become models for Jordan.

  • Unsolicited proposals

    A direct proposal lets an organization in Tafileh bring a project built around a need it knows better than anyone, from a solar plant for a town to a service for visitors to the Dana reserve. It can propose the project as its own, protect the ideas behind it and keep the right to match the best offer at tender.

The program

How the program could work

The program can sit inside the organization’s strategy or business development team, with a PPP lead at its center and offers built from what the organization already owns and runs in Tafileh.

PPP team
A small team of business, technical, legal and finance people that covers every PPP in Tafileh from the first market sounding.
Pipeline
A map of Tafileh’s projects by sector and stage, and the ones that fit the organization’s land, assets and skills.
Consortia
Partnerships with developers, contractors, operators and banks bidding for Tafileh’s projects.
Local supply
Services, staff, land and equipment the organization can offer every concession in the governorate.
Direct proposals
Projects proposed under Article 15 around needs the organization sees in Tafileh every day.
Pilots
Small-scale PPPs below $14.1 million that build a track record on live assets in Tafileh.
Partners
Agreements with the governorate’s municipalities, public bodies, university, investors and other organizations in Tafileh.

What the organization gains

The organization gains contracts and revenue that last as long as the concessions it joins, a bigger role in the governorate it already works in and a reference it can carry to every other project in Jordan.

It also gains a voice in how Tafileh grows. The organizations that help prepare, build and run the governorate’s first AI, robotics and tokenized PPPs will shape its energy, mines and towns for the next fifty years.
