Overview

Jordan's energy sector is transitioning towards enhanced security and lower emissions by expanding renewable generation, improving efficiency, and developing regional infrastructure.

Get more details on the table of contents and data files, as well as the list of graphs and tables by browsing the tabs below.

Highlights

  • Jordan aims to reduce its GHG emissions by 31% in 2035 compared to a BaU scenario and to increase the share of renewables in the power mix to 40%.
  • IPPs supply most of power generation (71%), along with State-owned utility SEPCO (29%).
  • Oil & gas production is limited.
  • The country has large oil shale and solar resources.
  • Gas accounted for 60% of the power mix in 2024 and renewables for 25%.
  • Oil accounts for 63% of final energy consumption.
  • Electricity prices remained stable in 2024, and diesel prices fell by 9%.
  • A 0.5 GW solar-plus-storage project was approved in 2026.
  • Iraq seeks to relaunch oil pipeline project to export via the Red Sea.

  • Energy & Climate Policy Framework

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

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

  • Energy Companies

    Electricity:

    SEPCO, Samra Electric Power Company (100% state-owned), is the main generator with a total capacity of 1.5 GW and a production of 6.8 TWh in 2025 (29% of power generation). The company operates the Samra gas-fired power plant (1.24 GW), a smaller 50 MW gas-fired plant, and a renewable capacity of 255 MW (175 MW of solar and 80 MW of wind).

  • Energy Supply & Demand

    Resources:

    Jordan is relatively poor in conventional energy resources (gas reserves estimated at 6 bcm).

    The country is considered to have significant oil shale resources, estimated at 116 Gt by the MENR (2023).

    Jordan also has large wind and solar resources (among the highest irradiance level in the world, at around 6.4 kWh/m2/d).

  • Energy Use and Price by Sector

    Energy Prices in Industry:

    The average price of electricity for industry has remained stable since 2022 (USD9.6c/kWh).

  • Issues & Prospects

    Electricity:

    Jordan bets on the development of solar projects, many of which are located in Maan and in Mafraq. Wind power projects will be located in southern Jordan, in Tafileh, and in Maan.

  • 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 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).
