Memos of Understanding
Minister Ibrahim Saif
Amman - Fana News
Minister of Energy and Mineral resources Ibrahim Saif said Saturday that the ministry had embarked on procedures to sign memorandums of understanding with companies that qualified to submit bids in six renewable energy projects, at a combined capacity of 300 megawatts, as part of the third round of direct bids.
He said in a statement that the signing will enable qualified bidders to prepare their offers and submit them to the ministry within the set period according with the direct bid regulations.
The ministry announced last month a list of 30 companies that qualified for direct bids to invest in solar energy projects and 14 wind energy firms.
The bids were floated late last year to generate 300 megawatts from solar and wind power as part of the ministry’s strategy to raise to 20 per cent the renewable energy input in the Kingdom’s total energy mix by 2020.
The third phase includes six projects to generate electricity from solar energy in the Ma’an Development Area at a capacity of 200 megawatts and two 100 megawatt wind energy projects in other areas south of the Kingdom

Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris.

The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
