Background

The AES Levant power plant is located east of Amman, on the same site of the existing Amman East power plant. The project was built and is owned and operated by AES Levant. The project is a tri-fuel engine technology, designed primarily for peaking operation, allowing a high range of flexibility in terms of fuel usage and dispatch.[8]

The total project cost was 360 million US Dollars. The project financing was supported by the US governmental institution Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD).[8]

The project got commissioned in July 2014.The power generated from the project is sold to National Electric Power under a power purchase agreement for a period of 25 years, starting from 2014.[9]
