Jordan opens world’s largest solar park for refugee camp
Jordan inaugurates the largest solar park to operate in a refugee facility, aiming to improve the lives of tens of thousands of Syrian refugees at the Zaatari desert camp.
The 4,000 solar panels with a total capacity of 12.9 megawatts, are designed to provide 14 hours of electricity a day to Zaatari’s 80,000 inhabitants, according to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.
The project was financed by Germany at a cost of 15 million euros ($17.5 million).
