Jordan provides the poor with solar energy

ArabiaWeather.com- Jordan's Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources seeks to provide individual homes outside the organization with electric current through independent solar energy units, according to ministry spokesman Haider Al-Qammaz.

This step will be financed by the Rural Fils Fund, with a maximum limit of 6,000 dinars for a house that meets the principles of social development specified within the poverty rates, according to Petra.

And he indicated that the target groups will be selected through a study prepared by the Ministry of Social Development for each house separately, adding that whoever meets the principles of social development specified for this purpose will inspect the house by the Ministry of Energy and then provide it with electric current through an independent power unit that is not connected to the public electrical network.

While the media spokesman for the Ministry of Social Development, Dr. Fawaz Al-Ratrout, explained that the mechanism for counting the numbers of beneficiaries of the project will be through responding to the request of the beneficiary and conducting studies and placement for the Ministry of Energy as a matter of fact.

It is noteworthy that the percentage of poor families in the Kingdom is 14%, according to data from the Ministry of Social Development.
