Risha Gas Pipeline Project

Strategic context of opportunity:
 The  Risha gas pipeline project is key to enhancing Jordan’s energy independence by connecting the Risha gas field with the Jordan Gas Pipeline (JGTP). This project will allow direct connectivity with regional and global markets.

 This project integrates untapped natural gas resources into the national power grid, serving the industrial sector and supporting Jordan’s strategy to expand domestic energy capabilities and thus reduce dependence on imports in this field.

The engine of opportunity within the vision of economic modernization:
 high-value industries.

Opportunity Type:
