The document discusses the National Microfinance Bank's new Green Loan product. The loan is intended to help Jordanians purchase energy efficient products like solar water heaters, photovoltaic systems, and energy efficient appliances to reduce power consumption and costs. This will help Jordan meet its goal of obtaining 10% of its energy from renewable sources by 2020. The Green Loan is appealing because repayment amounts match the estimated savings on clients' electricity bills. National Microfinance Bank credit officers will use tablets to calculate estimated savings for each client's individual consumption to determine appropriate payback periods for the Green Loans.
