==== Approval of Voluntary Participation by the Host Party<br/> ====

A set of quality criteria relating to sustainable development which can be applied for CDM projects has not yet been defined by the Jordanian Government. In the Jordan National Energy Strategy, the government stated that it is in favour of developing wind power resources,<ref>See: Jordan National Energy Strategy: http://www.nic.gov.jo/memr/startegy.html.</ref> furthermore the MEMR asked the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development for assistance regarding the development of wind power projects. So it can be assumed that the letter of approval for the project will be granted.

Before the project can be implemented, several national regulations have to be fulfilled, e.g. conducting an Environmental Impact Assessment. In order to receive a generation licence from the National Regulation Commission which is necessary for wind farms, the project will have to undergo a competitive bidding process.
