Beschreibung der Beschaffung

The Jordanian water and energy sectors are facing problems that can be mostly solved through joint planning and coordination. While the energy sector suffers from grid instability and power curtailments from renewable energy resources, the water sector is facing financial difficulties resulted from high energy bill. The Jordanian population has been growing at high rate for years, and its demand for water and wastewater services is also increasing rapidly. Many Jordanian consumers are geographically distant from water resources, and the challenging hydrogeology and topography contribute to the water sector"s high energy consumption. In fact, the water sector is Jordan"s single largest energy consumer, accounting for around 15 % of total energy consumption. For this reason, the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) supports the Jordanian government in its efforts to enhance water energy nexus cooperation towards joint planning of the important sectors through the project "Renewable Energies in the Water Sector (REW)", implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ). The first phase of REW runs from November 2017 to October 2021. This project is part of the German development program "Management of water resources in Jordan".
The module objective of the project is "The conditions for increased implementation of renewable energy in the water sector are improved". The project operates across the country.
