Water-For-Energy Swap

  • 'Water-for-energy swap' is a climate agreement signed between Israel and Jordan. It is related to the exchange of water and solar energy.
  • Water-scarce Jordan will export about 600 MW of solar-generated electricity to Israel, in return for which it will get 200 million cubic meters of desalinated water from Israel.
  • Jordan shares a small border with the Red Sea. In such a situation, it is not possible to set up a desalination plant here, but Jordan is a vast desert country and the conditions are favorable for setting up solar power plants.
  • Israel forms a long coastline along the Mediterranean Sea. Also, it is a leader in the technology of desalination of sea water. It is noteworthy that Israel has set a target of getting 30% of its total energy demand from renewable energy sources by 2030.
  • Experts believe that this agreement will not only meet the needs of both the countries but will also help in tackling the challenges of climate change.
