CEC delivers the civil and structural works that underpin Jordan's energy infrastructure. Al-Qatrana IPP2, East Amman IPP4, Al-Samra Power Plant — First Grade EPC construction for Jordan's energy transition.
Jordan has one of the most ambitious renewable energy targets in the Middle East — aiming to generate 31% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2030, rising further beyond. The Kingdom's solar irradiance, wind resources in the north and south, and large tracts of available land make it an ideal environment for renewable energy development.
Delivering that ambition requires construction. Solar farms, wind facilities, conventional power plant upgrades, transmission infrastructure, and substation civil works all require qualified, experienced civil engineering contractors. CEC holds Jordan's First Grade classification in Renewable Energy Works — qualifying us for all government and private-sector energy EPC tenders in the Kingdom.
Our energy construction portfolio already demonstrates track record across conventional and energy infrastructure: the Al-Qatrana Independent Power Plant (IPP2), the East Amman Independent Power Plant (IPP4), and the Al-Samra Electrical Power Plant in Zarqa — three of Jordan's significant utility-scale power generation facilities.
For international EPC contractors, international financiers (IFC, EIB, IsDB), and project developers working on Jordan's energy pipeline, CEC provides the local civil engineering capability and First Grade qualification to serve as civil works subcontractor, main contractor, or joint-venture partner on energy projects of any scale.
Jordan's National Energy Strategy calls for a significant expansion of solar and wind capacity over the next decade — requiring billions of Jordanian Dinar of energy infrastructure investment across the country. Key programmes currently in development or procurement include large-scale solar parks in the Ma'an and Aqaba governorates, wind energy expansion in the north, battery energy storage systems, green hydrogen facilities, and significant grid reinforcement and extension works.
For project developers and international EPC contractors engaged in Jordan's energy market, the availability of a qualified, reliable local civil engineering partner with First Grade classification is a critical enabling factor. CEC is the natural choice: First Grade certified, locally headquartered in Amman since 1977, with demonstrated power plant delivery track record and full electromechanical capability.
International EPC contractors winning Jordan energy contracts typically require a reliable local civil engineering partner to handle ground-conditions risk, regulatory interface, local supply chain management, and site management during the civil phase. CEC offers:
Every generation project — conventional, solar, or wind — must ultimately connect to Jordan's transmission or distribution grid, operated by the National Electric Power Company (NEPCO). The civil works required to support this connection are often underestimated at project planning stage but are critical to the project schedule: control building construction, transformer plinths and bunds, cable ducting and trenching between the generation plant and the connection point, earthing systems civil works, and the access roads and security perimeter required around substation compounds.
CEC's power plant project history — including civil works on Independent Power Plant facilities — gives our teams direct experience of the civil scope required around HV/MV substations and the coordination needed with NEPCO's technical requirements during construction.
Energy projects procured by NEPCO, the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, or financed through international development banks typically require bidders — or their civil works subcontractors — to hold First Grade classification in Renewable Energy Works for power generation civil scope.
CEC's First Grade classification in Renewable Energy Works, combined with First Grade in Electromechanical Works, means international developers and EPC contractors can engage a single qualified local partner for both the generation-side civil works and the electrical balance-of-plant works that connect a facility to the grid — without needing to manage two separately classified local subcontractors across that interface.
