Jordan energy report

• Institutions & Energy Policy

  The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (MEMR) coordinates the energy sector.

  EMRC, the Energy and Minerals Regulatory Commission was created in 2014 by merging several regulatory bodies (Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Natural Resources Authority and Electricity Regulatory Commission).

• Energy Supply

  Oil:

  The country has a refinery in Zarqa with a capacity of 102 600 bbl/d. Jordan imported 2.4 Mt of crude oil in 2018, 1 Mt less than in 2015. This decrease follows a long-term increasing trend of crude oil and oil products between 2010-2015, which was related to a significant rise in the consumption of fuel oil for electricity generation.

• Energy Prices

  Oil:

  With the rationalisation of consumption in mind, the prices of oil products have been raised in line with import and production costs. In 2012, Jordan lifted fuel subsidies, which implied a major rise in gasoline prices (+14% for lower grade gasoline, +33% for diesel (and kerosene) more than 50% for LPG).

• Energy Consumption

  Consumption per capita is 0.9 toe/cap, including 1 750 kWh of electricity (2018).

  The country's overall consumption (9 Mtoe in 2018) increased by 4%/year between 2000 and 2017 and decreased in 2018 (-4%).

  Oil is the country's main energy source, with 54% of total consumption, followed by natural gas with 38%.

• Issues & Prospects

  In its 2007 Master Plan, MEMR overestimated the energy demand growth and the supply of alternative resources up to 2020 (total energy demand growth of 5.5%/year, 10% of renewables, 14% of oil shale and 6% of nuclear). It considered a stable share of gas (29% in 2020), which will increase due to additional availabilities.

In the Jordan energy market report you will find the following tables:

• Economic Indicators: Annual historical data including population, GDP growth, imports and exports, inflation rate, energy security and efficiency indicators, CO₂ emissions.
• Supply Indicators: Historical data including oil and gas reserves, electric and refining capacity, energy production, power production and external trade. All are detailed by energy source
• Demand Indicators: Historical data including consumption per inhabitant, consumption trends, total consumption by energy source, final consumption by energy source and sector, and electricity consumption by sector.
• Energy Balances: Single table displaying the overall energy industry balance per annum, also graphically displayed by energy sub-segment.

The Jordan energy market data since 1990 and up to 2018 is included in the Excel file accompanying the Jordan country report.
It showcases the historical evolution, allowing users to easily work with the data.

Key Data included in the excelsheet:

• Economic indicators: Annual historical economic indicators, energy security, energy efficiency and CO₂ emissions.
• Supply indicators: Annual historical reserves, capacity, production and external trade (imports(+) exports(-) balance).
• Demand indicators: Annual historical consumption per capita, consumption trends, total consumption, final consumption (per energy and per sector) and electricity consumption total and per sector.
• Energy Balance: total and per energy.
• Jordan Energy Prices: In addition to the analysis provided on the report we also provided a data set which includes historical details on the Jordan energy prices for the follow items: price of premium gasoline (taxes incl.), price of diesel (taxes incl.), price of electricity in industry (taxes incl.), price of electricity for households (taxes incl.), price of natural gas in industry (taxes incl.), prices of natural gas for households (taxes incl.), spot price of Brent and CO₂ emissions (from fuel combustion).
