Project Highlights
Shobak Wind Farm Alcazar Energy continuous to promote and facilitate Renewable energy development in Jordan with the construction of its second Wind Farm in the Kingdom
The 44.85 megawatt (MW) Wind Farm consists of 13 Wind Turbine Generators (WTGs)
across 1,450 hectares and is located near the village of Al Shobak, 46km north-west of
Ma’an city in the Ma'an Governorate, approximately 160km south of Amman, in the
Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. The Project commenced construction in June 2018 and
achieved commercial operations in October 2020 supplying an estimated 157 million
KWh of electricity per year to the National Electrical Power Company (NEPCO) in Jordan
under a long-term Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) contract for 20 years.
The Project is being developed by Shobak Wind Energy PSC, a special purpose vehicle
incorporated in Jordan for the sole purpose of developing, constructing and operating
the Project, which is majority owned by Alcazar Energy with Hecate Energy LLC as minori-
ty shareholder. Project financing was provided by: European Bank for Reconstruction and
Development (EBRD), Islamic Development Bank (ISDB) and Europe Arab Bank . The Pro-
ject will further contribute towards energy diversification in Jordan and increasing elec-
tricity generation capacity from clean renewable resources, avoiding greenhouse gas
emissions and reducing the dependence on fossil fuels.
The Project is Category A as per the EBRD Environmental and Social Policy (2014) and as
such it was subject to a comprehensive Environmental and Social Impact Assessment
(ESIA). The Project is located within the IFC ‘Tafila Region Wind Power Projects Cumula-
tive Effect Assessment (CEA)’ area and in proximity to other existing and planned wind
facilities. The mitigation, monitoring and other management measures of the CEA have
been considered in the Active Turbine Management Plan (ATMP) which is currently being
implemented and that entails in-flight bird monitoring and observer-led shutdown proce-
dures.
