AMMAN — Energy Minister Saleh Kharabsheh on Monday inaugurated an electricity-generating project using solar panels for The Islamic Charity Centre Society, with a capacity of 4MW, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported. The “one of a kind” project, worth JD5 million, is partially supported by the EU at an amount of 700,000 euros. Deputising for Prime Minister Hani Mulki, Kharabsheh said that the pioneering project is one of 9 projects being funded by the EU, most of which were implemented by the ministry.
