This paper is directed to assess the potential of renewable energy resources, wind and solar, in Jordan. Long-term measured data of wind speed and solar insolation levels at different locations in the country are used in this study. Statistical and metrological approaches are utilized to obtain the characteristics of both wind speed and solar irradiance. The power potential of the two resources is also evaluated. The results obtained show that Jordan has a great potential of wind and solar in various locations. Therefore, projects deal with practical implementation of wind and solar resources in the country are highly recommended.
