ArabiaWeather.com- Jordan ranked fourth in the world in terms of investment in renewable energy projects compared to GDP, according to a recent report issued by the International Energy Agency, according to the Kingdom's Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources, Dr. Ibrahim Saif.

Saif explained the possibility of improving the efficiency of energy use and reducing its consumption intensity by rates ranging from 5 to 10% by following optimal methods to reduce unnecessary consumption, with a strategy to diversify energy sources in the Kingdom by 2020 so that the Kingdom becomes an exporting country.

He added that according to energy efficiency measures, the energy bill reaching 20% of the Kingdom's GDP is high compared to industrial countries that rely heavily on energy in manufacturing fields such as Japan and Germany.

It is noteworthy that the Kingdom has recently witnessed the inauguration of several projects that rely on renewable energy in more than one governorate.
