81307894-Supply, install, test and commission of Water and Energy Data Management System for Jordanian water sector
Chronic water scarcity is one of the key obstacles to Jordan"s development. Efforts to reform the supply situation in recent years have been outweighed by the effects of a growing population and high demand. This rapid population growth, along with agricultural expansion and the impacts of global climate change, have increased the pressure on Jordan"s scarce water resources, which have been heavily overused for years. Also, energy costs for the water sector have increased with the costs of operation reaching more than 50 per cent of the water sector bill in 2021. Against this backdrop of growing demand from several directions for an increasingly scarce resource, the Jordanian government is very interested in harnessing the potential of Renewable Energy (RE) technologies and improving Energy Efficiency (EE) in the water sector to improve financial sustainability. The main objective of the EEWS project is to improve energy efficiency in the water sector through anchoring central elements of a functional energy management system compliant with ISO 50001. The EEWS aims also to support increasing the accuracy and the utility of water and energy data for planning and monitoring purposes. This means eliminating existing obstacles in the enabling environment (for example, inadequate institutional structures and processes, lack of knowledge, data, and skills), developing facilitating mechanisms and tools (e.g., water and energy data management system), and thus inducing a change in the system.
