"With current generation capacity exceeding demand by approximately 45 percent 6 megawatts of generation against 4 megawatts of load energy storage has become imperative
Natural gas is increasingly being used to fulfill the country''s domestic energy needs, especially with regard to electricity generation. Jordan was estimated to have only modest natural gas reserves (about 6 billion cubic meters in 2002), but new estimates suggest a much higher total. In 2003 the country produced and consumed an estimated 390 million cubic meters of natural gas. The prim

As of 2018, a large capacity pipeline from Israel is under construction in northern Jordan which is expected to begin operating by 2020 and will supply the kingdom with 3 BCM of gas per year,
Jordan''s recent legislative changes, like the 2024 New Electricity Law, have turned heads globally. This article breaks down the latest regulations, market trends, and real-world

Other storage technologies could take off, such as flow batteries, hydrogen storage or others, but cost reduction and additional developments are necessary to see these technologies being
Jordan has significant wind energy resources that could be potentially exploited for power generation where the annual average wind speed exceeds 7 m/s (at 10 m height) in some

Jordan has 33 utility-scale power plants in operation, with a total capacity of 4703.5 MW. This data is a derivitive set of data gathered by source mentioned below. Data and information about power plants in Jordan plotted on an interactive map.
Jordan’s electricity sector is structured around three main stages: generation, transmission, and distribution. Electricity generation is primarily carried out by the Central Electricity Generating Company (CEGCO), AES Jordan, and several independent power producers (IPPs).
The current output of around 30 million cubic feet (850 thousand cubic metres) per day from the Risha field is used to fuel one nearby power plant, which generates about 10% of Jordan's electricity.
Jordan currently operates three wind power plants at Ibrahimyah, Hofa and Tafila. The Ibrahimyah plant, located approximately 80 km north of Amman, consists of 4 wind turbines with capacity 0.08 MW for each. The Hofa plant, located approximately 92 km north of Amman, consists of 5 wind turbines with capacity 0.225 MW for each.
