一 5 million solar energy project, which was inaugurated in Petra, will generate 250 kilowatts of electricity to cover the energy needs of tourist and service facilities in the ancient city (UNESCO World Heritage Site), 235 km south of Amman.
Deputising for His Majesty King Abdullah, Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Alaa Batayneh inaugurated the venture, implemented under a grant from the Mitsubishi Corporation.
The project makes enough electricity (250 kilowatts) to supply restaurants, 博物馆, 紧急门诊和一个营地.
The solar power project will also put an end to the environmental, 视觉和噪音污染问题的旧柴油发电机组创建. 柴油泄漏造成一股刺鼻的气味，用来改变岩石成一个肮脏的灰色以及玫瑰红的颜色.
