AMMAN — Electricity supply across the Kingdom hit 99 per cent, thanks to the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources'' strategic initiatives which placed the Kingdom within globally recognised safe limits in addressing energy challenges.
The ministry''s strategies included a comprehensive and integrated approach to achieving energy security. "This involved transitioning towards more sustainable energy sources, enhancing energy efficiency and increasing the contribution of local energy to the overall energy mix, notably green energy, besides the use of available renewable energy sources and bolstering the strategic fuel reserve."
Energy experts confirmed that Jordan has a strategic reserve of oil derivatives that is sufficient for a long period of time, highlighting that Jordan has maintained a 100 per cent supply of oil derivatives, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported on Saturday.
By establishing a resilient chain of supply and delivery services, the National Electric Power Company has also ensured the stability of the electricity system, the experts added.
According to the ministry''s latest figures, the contribution of green hydrogen and renewable energy in electricity production reached 27 per cent. "The objective is to achieve a 50 per cent contribution by 2030."
There is no concern related to shortage of different types of energy, energy expert Hashem Aqel affirmed, highlighting that renewable energy accounts for 30 per cent of total electricity needs, with projects such as Al Attarat contributing 15 per cent.
Aqel said that with the inauguration of the Baynouna solar power plant, the largest of its kind in the Kingdom, Jordan has taken a "significant step towards eliminating the need for energy imports".
The Baynouna solar and photovoltaic power plant, located in the Muwaqqar reagion east of Amman, with a production capacity of 200 megawatts, generates clean energy at a low cost, while preserving the environment and community health by reducing carbon emissions, he said.
Emirati investments in Jordan''s energy sector provide at least 300 megawatts at low cost, out of which 200 megawatts have been officially inaugurated at the Baynouna station, he said.
He added that Masdar, Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company, has signed a memorandum of understanding with the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources to develop renewable energy projects with a total production capacity of some 2 gigawatts.
"Together, these projects will provide 45-50 per cent of the country''s electricity consumption, as Jordan''s electrical capacity reaches 6500 megawatts, exceeding consumption needs."

Amman-- The Sustainable Urbanization and Resource Efficiency in Greater Amman Municipality (SURE) Project kicked-off the first phase of its ambitious intervention plan to improve energy efficiency in Amman. The project is replacing over 1,100 old halogen lamps used in 56 public parks and district buildings in GAM with energy-saving LED lighting fixtures and installing Smart Lighting Control System (SLCS) that are expected to reduce electricity consumption by 50 to 75 per cent.
The interventions, implemented by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is part of a bigger plan that establishes a systematic approach for the Greater Amman Municipality to implement benchmarked, standardized tools and methodologies for measuring and reporting climate-resilient, resource-efficient urban development city. The project, funded by GEF and carried out in partnership with GAM, works to reduce CO2 emissions in the city of Amman by addressing Energy Efficiency in the building sector and through LED lighting interventions.
UNDP Resident Representative Sara Ferrer Olivella said "This project comes as a continuation to UNDP''s efforts to take climate mitigation measures on the ground and in line with the its global efforts to reduce CO2 emissions as committed by the Paris Agreement. It is also one way to address the energy challenge that Jordan is striving to overcome."
''''A rapid increase in economic activity, population growth and successive influxes of refugees over the last decade have imposed huge stresses on Jordan''s urban areas and fragile water and energy resources. We partner with GAM to provide high quality municipal services of excellence addressing the environmental, health, organizational and infrastructure dimensions while maintaining the identity of the City of Amman'''' she added.
She added "Renovating these spaces with LED-powered lighting systems will make them more inviting and less energy consuming. With such innovative public space improvements, Jordan can create urban outdoor spaces that boost tourism and economic development, while saving energy and reducing environmental impact".
The replacement of old-fashioned light bulbs with LED lighting alternatives plays a big role in combatting the impacts of increased CO2 globally and is essential to decrease Jordan''s CO2 footprint and reduce the energy bill. Jordan is committed to reducing its green house gas emissions (GHG) by 14 per cent by 2030.
The SURE efforts come as apart of UNDP-GEF project designed to promote low-carbon buildings in Greater Amman Municipality, and eventually in other municipalities and cities in Jordan, through the application of Building Energy Codes, and in particular the Thermal Insulation Code for new buildings and retrofit guidelines for existing buildings. The project will directly support the implementation of the National Energy Efficiency Action Plan 2016, and the National Green Growth Plan 2016
