Energizing Jordan

1. Energizing Jordan Brought to Jordan by A two high learning platform involving global experts and local stake holders towards a sustainable solution to Jordan's Energy Problems

2. Jordan : The Country

3. Place of Pride • Jordan will host the 7thWEF. aimed to playing a very active role in helping achieve its goals of enhancing regional cooperation and partnerships • Jordan’s ranking in the annual global competitiveness index jumped by seven notches to 64th spot out of 144 countries. Performance followed two years of decline. Last year, Jordan's ranking was 71 out of 142 countries. • “This situation represents a key opportunity for industry, government and civil society to jointly make historic gains in crucial areas, including youth unemployment, transparency, income disparity reduction, private sector development and infrastructure,” the WEF World Economic Forum (WEF) on the Middle East and North Africa on May 24-26, 2013, with over 1,000 participants from government, business, civil society and academia sectors from across the Middle East

4. Economy Under Pressure • “Jordan was hit by a series of external shocks in the past year. Repeated sabotage of the Arab Gas Pipeline in the Sinai Peninsula reduced the average daily flows of natural gas from Egypt. This necessitated an increase in imports of expensive fuel products for electricity generation while oil prices were high” Kristina Kostial, the IMF mission chief to Jordan • While economic activity remains subdued, unexpected additional fiscal and external pressures have arisen from high energy prices and instability in neighboring countries. Uncertainties related to regional economic and political developments will continue to pose significant challenges to Jordan in 2012-13. • The IMF Executive Board approved a 36-month Stand-by Arrangement for Jordan amounting to about $2.05 billion, subject to quarterly reviews.

5. International Support In Jan 2012 The World Bank approved a $250 million loan to Jordan to aid the nation in overcoming economic difficulties. Jordan will sign economic agreements with the US and the EU to provide $650 million in grants and loans. Kuwait has signed one grant equal to $1.25 billion, with a term of five years as a part of the GCC support. Jordan received $1.4 billion from Gulf countries last year US government agreed to extend $1.15 million to Jordan to explore implementing “smart grids” in the three largest electricity distributors in the country in April 2012  The French Development Agency inked a deal with the Jordanian government on Monday to provide the kingdom with a soft loan of $193 million to support its budget

6. Jordan Power Sector

7. Generation Mix Electricity Generation By Fuel Type

8. Transmission Facts • The interconnected system consists of the main generating power stations, 132 kV and 400 kV transmission network. • Also includes the 230 kV, 400 kV tie lines with Syria and 400 kV tie line with Egypt and the distribution networks serving about (99.9 %) of Jordan’s population • Current total system installed capacity is about 3186 MW.  • Length of 132 kV network and above is about (4121) km- circuit • Total installed capacity of the substations is (10303) MVA.

9. End Use Facts Peak Load Forecast: Peak Load Growth:

10. The Challenges Facts which must be addressed • Jordan imports 96 % of its energy needs and a recent decision by Cairo to stop pumping gas to the country has deepened the crisis. • Wastage accounts for about 15% and T&D losses are around 30% • “Investment of nearly $20-$25 billion in the coming 10 years, is required to achieve self-sufficiency in the energy market” JawadAnani, President– Jordan Economic Social Council Oct 2012 • Electricity sector incurred losses of over JD1 billion last year due to disruptions to the gas supply from Egypt, caused by repeated attacks on the Arab Gas Pipeline in the Sinai, and is expected to lose JD1.5 billion this year if the situation continues, according to officials • A study by Economic Policy Development indicates Jordan imported paid nearly JD3.7 billion = around 18 % of GDP • According to an expert report, the Ministry has received 64 applications from local and global companies to develop electricity generation plants based on renewable energy, and these are still under study • Report calls for concrete steps towards building wind and solar power plants

11. Tough Challenges : Endless Options Jordan’s Energy Crisis could have several answers Need is to understand the relative merits and costs of each Funding, by and large, will be the largest challenge

12. Back to nature? • The 2007 energy strategy sought to boost domestic energy resources from the current 2% to 40% by 2020 • Analyst ZayyanZawaneh, former adviser IMF, finance ministry and Central Bank of Jordan, doubts the strategy would achieve unless Jordan implements solar and wind energy schemes. • The Wind Atlas indicates two windy regions in the northern and southern parts of Jordan. The estimated potential for wind power generation in these regions is about 50 MW (25 MW in the north and 25 MW in the south) without major changes in the grid with a potential 65–145 GWh per year. • Jordan enjoys over 300 days of sunshine compared to European countries with much lesser, is working on meeting nearly 1/3 of their energy needs by 2050 • Jordan has benefited from the operational experience of the accomplished wind energy projects, especially in Al-Ibrahimyya and Hofa. In 2008, envisaged that streetlights would be powered by solar energy. A pilot project to power streetlights using solar power was supposed to be implemented at that time on the Amman Ring Road and the Hashemiyeh-Balama Street. The plan never materialized

13. Alternative & Smarter Solutions? • Renewable energy, nuclear and oil shale projects, are singled out as key to reducing the country’s reliance on energy imports • “Establishing a smart-grid is not an option but a must for Jordan in order to improve services and move the country towards the future,” ERC Commissioner Ahmad Hiyasat • US government extended $1.15 million to Jordan to explore implementing “smart grids” in the three largest electricity distributors in the country in April 2012 • Are Smart Grids the right answer?
