Highlights
- The country's objectives for 2030 are to reduce natural gas imports in the power mix to 53% and achieve 14% of renewables in the energy mix.
- IPPs represent around ¾ of power production.
- NPC is in charge of the oil exploration and production activities. The country's sole refinery is operated by JPRC.
- The country has large oil shale and solar resources. Gas supplies 85% of the power mix.
- In 2020, gasoline and diesel prices are back to 2017 levels. Kerosene and LPG prices remained unchanged.
- The country's energy consumption has fallen by 10% since 2017. Oil supplies more than 60% of total consumption.
- Electricity demand should grow by an average of 6.5%/year until 2030.

Abstract
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
Resources:
Jordan is relatively poor in conventional energy resources (gas reserves estimated at 6 bcm and 1.2 mbl for oil).
It has the fifth largest oil shale resources, behind the USA, China, Russia, and Israel (100 mbl according to the WEC survey of energy resources), including 22 mbl of economically exploitable reserves in the Kérak and Lajjun regions.
Energy Prices
Electricity:
Electricity prices have been rationalised. The average price of electricity for households is US$12.1c/kWh and for industry US$12.6c/kWh (2020).
Graph: ELECTRICITY PRICES FOR INDUSTRY AND HOUSEHOLDS (US$c/kWh)
Energy Consumption
Consumption per capita is 0.8 toe/cap, including 1 760 kWh of electricity (2019).
The country's overall consumption (around 8 Mtoe in 2019) increased by 4%/year between 2000 and 2017 and has decreased by 10% since then.
Oil is the country's main energy source, with 54% of total consumption, followed by natural gas with 38%.
Issues & Prospects
Electricity:
According to the Ministry, electricity demand should grow by an average of 6.5%/year until 2030, to 52 TWh. The country's overall capacity should reach 8 GW in 2030 and 14 GW in 2040 (intermediate scenario).
