The Rehab gas turbine power plant is located 70 km north of Amman, the capital of Jordan. Rehab power station has an overall capacity of 357 MW. However, the Rehab power plant takes in a high quantity of fossil fuels. The overall Rehab power station efficiency is just roughly 39.5% [1]. This paper discusses the feasibility study for designing a wind farm that is combined with thermal energy grid storage – multi-junction Photovoltaics (TEGS-MPV). Thermal energy grid storage is a very cheap energy storage method and can help save carbon emissions. HOMER® software was utilized for this purpose via optimization and sensitivity analysis to calculate the Levelized cost of energy (LCOE) values. The major components of the configuration tested in HOMER® are wind turbines, electrical load, inverter, and CAES. A load of the wind energy system was defined as 60 MW. A large capacity of wind turbines was selected with four MW each, to generate a larger amount of electricity within the provided area in the Rehab location. It was found that there were 5 scenarios for generating and/or storing electricity, and the most effective scenario was number (1) as illustrated in this work, having a Levelized cost of energy (LCOE) of was 0.04252 USD/kWh. This scenario consists of wind turbines, inverters, and TEGS-MPV. This scenario is also the most effective in terms of environmental aspects, as it has no negative influence on the environment including greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions, which would save 293,764 tons of carbon emissions per annum.<
