What renewables EPCs procure through Jordan?

Jordan's renewables programme (Round 1, Round 2, Round 3 PV tenders, plus the wind expansion in Tafila / Maan governorates) is procured through NEPCO and the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, with EPC contractors selected per project. Major Jordan-active EPCs include Masdar, Total Eren, AMEA Power, and several Chinese contractors on the post-2020 expansion. Equipment procurement runs through the appointed EPC; suppliers engage at EPC-level rather than directly with NEPCO.

What are King Hussein Industrial City requirements?

King Hussein Bin Talal Development Area in Mafraq hosts manufacturing operations including pharma, food processing, and light industrial. Equipment procurement for facilities sited there requires Jordan Industrial Estates Corporation (JIEC) compliance with environmental, safety, and zoning requirements. Imported equipment must clear Aqaba and route overland; certificates of origin and HS-code-correct paperwork are essential since Jordan customs increasingly enforces tariff classification rigour. JIEC offers utility connection and licensing facilitation for in-estate consignees.

Jordan Manufacturing Equipment: Buyer's Guide

Frequently asked

Common buyer questions

Aqaba Container Terminal (ACT) is Jordan's primary deep-water port, handling most industrial-equipment imports for the country and serving as a transit point for Iraq overland routing. Aqaba customs typically clears documented industrial cargo in 5-8 days; the Aqaba Special Economic Zone Authority (ASEZA) offers expedited clearance for in-zone consignees with reduced documentation requirements. Onward trucking from Aqaba to Amman is ~330 km, typically 6-8 hours one way.
