More specifically, the facility is located in a military zone 4 kilometers from the Iraqi border, adjoining to the present 150 MW Risha gas turbine power plant, that is owned and run by CEGCO, a unit of ACWA Power.
The $69 million project was funded by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), Germany's Deutsche Investitions- Und Entwicklungsgesellschaft Mbh (DEG), a subsidiary of KfW Group, along with Arab Bank. EBRD donated $27.6 million.
ACWA Power is also constructing another 60.9 MW PV array in Mafraq, ET Solutions AG, the German unit of Chinese PV module supplier ET Solar, is now building the project in partnership with China's Northwest Power Design Institute (NWPDI), a unit of China Power Engineering Consulting Group. The plant will sell power to NEPCO under a 20-year PPA at a price of JOD 0.043/kWh.
