Tafila wind turbines farm is the largest project of wind energy to generate the electricity in Jordan until now. The major Tafilawind turbines farm (38 wind turbines) presents a 117-Mega Watt (3.075 MW/ Turbine) wind turbine power. Total design/build phase of the project is 21 months and the operations phase is 20 years, the total cost of the project is 290 million $ with100% funded through private investment which produce about4 % of the national electricity demand each year that is enough electricity to power 85,000 homes. The main objectives of this project is to reduce energy import dependency, reinforce reliability of supply and achieve energy security, contribute to Jordan’s national strategy for energy as well as to regional targets in the field of clean energy (better to the environment) and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This paper is to evaluate the Tafila wind turbines farm in terms of financial analysis.
