The feasibility study will take two years to complete and the first three month of the study will be devoted to checking on the suitability of the site.
The study involves the evaluation of the geological stability, geophysics, soil characteristics and risk management of the proposed site of the plant, located around 12 km to the east of the Aqaba coastline. The assessment will also evaluate the impact of the power plant on the environment, the public health and safety.
The feasibility study will be conducted by the Belgian Tractabel Engineering (GDF-SUEZ) along with Jordan’s Arab Consultants Bureau and France’s Bureau Veritas.
