EBRD to finance USD33.97 million for wastewater plant PPP in Jordan
Ministry of Water and Irrigation in Jordan has received commitments from EBRD and European Union (EU) for investment of EUR60 million (US$67.94 million) to implement improvement works for water supply and modernising wastewater treatment facilities in Al Ghabawi. EBRD will provide a sovereign loan of EUR30 million (US$33.97 million) while EU will finance EUR30 million (US$33.97 million) in grant to help realize the project.
The new wastewater treatment plant in Al Ghabawi will have a capacity of 24,750 m3 per day and will replace an existing facility in Ain Ghazal. The plant will also contribute to mitigating environmental risks as well as increase the network’s capacity to serve households and will be able to reach up to 1 million people.
Mohammad Al-Najjar, Minister of Water and Irrigation, said: “This is a strategic project in the water sector in Jordan, as it will increase wastewater collection in Amman and Zarqa, as well as reduce the biological load at the As-Samra wastewater treatment plant. The project will improve the environment and reduce the movement of tankers in the Ain Ghazal area, which will solve traffic problems".
