Jordan oil shale power station is a project to build an oil shale-fueled power station in Jordan. The agreement between the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources and National Electricity Power Company of Jordan, and Estonian power company Eesti Energia was signed on 30 April 2008.[1][2] According to the agreement, Eesti Energia will have the exclusive right to develop the construction of an oil shale-fired power station with capacity of 600-900 MW.[3] The power station is expected to be operational by 2015. When constructed, it will be among the largest power stations in Jordan (the largest being Aqaba Thermal Power Station), and the largest oil shale-fired power station in the world after Narva Power Plants in Estonia.[3][4][5]
