Renewables could be the basis for Jordan�s future energy system as Jordan has ambitious targets for renewable energies (RE), Shares of RE have been rising rapidly in recent years, and Jordan has a huge economic potential for solar and wind energy that is much larger than anticipated future domestic demand. BUT: Competing visions for a future energy system exist, and nuclear and shale gas are part of Jordan�s current energy strategy/discussion. This study fuels and supports the discussion about Jordan�s future energy system provides with the phase model an over-arching guiding vision for the transition to an RE-based future energy system supports the development of according policy strategies.
