Khaberni - From the heart of Al-Qatrana district in Al-Karak governorate, where geography extends with its national significance, and where the location serves as a vital hub in the Jordanian energy system, was born the idea of the South Korea Energy Company – KOSPO Jordan on solid foundations of clear vision, partnership, and responsibility. Its journey, filled with hard work and commitment, is a testament to the capabilities of responsible investment to adapt and innovate, showcasing management strength, clarity of goals, workforce efficiency, and its pivotal role in supporting the national energy sector alongside its active social presence in serving local communities.
The company, which has strategically located one of its major power generation projects in Al-Qatrana district, has not seen its existence as a separate operational project from its surroundings but an integral part of a social fabric it sees itself responsible for, a partner in its development, and a supporter of its enhancement within a comprehensive approach that combines high technical performance with long-term community commitment.
South Korea Energy Company – KOSPO Jordan is among the leading companies in the electric power generation sector in the kingdom, belonging to a leading South Korean energy group with extensive experience in developing and operating energy projects worldwide.
The mission of the company in Jordan is to operate and manage the power generation station in Al-Qatrana, which serves as a main feeder for the national electrical grid, enhancing supply security and stabilizing the energy system, especially during peak times and high demand.
The project relies on advanced operational technologies that align with global standards of efficiency, safety, and reliability, with a focus on environmental compliance. The company also pays special attention to training its staff and transferring expertise, reflecting confidence in the local human element and enhancing national capacities in the energy sector.
Through this role, the company has cemented its position as a strategic partner combining technical achievement with institutional commitment, fully aware that the success of any investment project is only complete with exemplary operational performance and responsibility towards the community and the national economy.
The company continues to execute firm community responsibility programs in Al-Karak governorate, extending an approach that began years ago, reflecting a deep understanding of local community needs and translating them into practical initiatives targeting schools and associations, contributing to the improvement of the educational environment and promoting economic and social empowerment in Al-Qatrana district particularly, and Al-Karak governorate generally. The company has placed the education sector at the forefront of its priorities, stemming from a firm belief that the school is the primary incubator for human development, and that investing in educational environment development is one of the most sustainable and impactful forms of development.
In this context, the company supported Khadija bint Khuwaylid School in Damiyah area by equipping the science lab with necessary devices and supplies, providing an interactive educational environment, and enhancing applied education by linking theoretical knowledge with practical experience, attended by the company’s management, work manager Hamad Al-Fateenat, and Dr. Bakr Al-Thneibat, Director of Educational Affairs / Education in Al-Qasr district, where the school administration expressed their gratitude and appreciation for the company’s ongoing support and its active contribution to improving the educational environment, affirming that this initiative reflects the company’s commitment to the local community.

This was attended by the governor of Al-Qatrana_district, Rakan Al-Adwan, and director of agriculture in Al-Qatrana district, engineer Hekmat Al-Tarawneh, where the society’s management expressed deep gratitude to the company for its continuous support, regarding this empowerment as enhancing the society's ability to continue and grow, and contributing to the economic and social empowerment of women.
This direction reflects a deep awareness of the importance of women’s empowerment as a fundamental pillar in enhancing family and social stability, and transforming cooperative societies from limited support frameworks into sustainable and growing production models.
The company's pioneering efforts locally and internationally were officially recognized by the highest national authority, where it was honored with the Silver Jubilee Medal by His Majesty King Abdullah II bin Al Hussein in 2024, in appreciation of its pioneering role in developing the energy sector, and for its sustained efforts in supporting the local community and promoting sustainable development in Al-Karak governorate and the kingdom as a whole.
This official recognition reflects the company's status as a strategic national partner, not only in the energy generation sector, but also in its firm commitment to social responsibility, serving as a model to emulate in combining industrial achievement and positive impact on the community.
What distinguishes the company’s approach is that these initiatives are not linked to seasons or occasions, but rather form an extension of a community responsibility program that the company began implementing years ago. It is currently expanding this program to encompass the entire Al-Karak governorate, within a clear vision aimed at maximizing positive impact and enhancing partnership with various components of the local community.
Community responsibility at the company is not a side activity but an institutional culture rooted in practice, involving employees and management, based on direct communication with the community, listening to its needs, and working to meet them within well-studied and sustainable bases.
In conclusion, what South Korea Energy Company – KOSPO Jordan presents in Al-Karak governorate embodies an advanced model of the private sector's role in national development, confirming that major companies are capable of combining achievements in the energy sector with greatness in their social role, and that true power is not measured only in megawatts, but by the deep impact left on people, places, and the future.
