AMMAN — Purchased and sold electricity rose by 5.8 per cent in 2024 compared with 2023, the National Electric Power Company (NEPCO) announced on Tuesday.

The total volume of purchased electricity reached 22,723 gigawatt-hours (GWh) in 2024, up from 21,473 GWh the previous year. This increase was fueled by a 22.8 per cent surge in electricity from the Al Attarat oil shale project, a 7.5 per cent increase in renewable energy contributions, and a slight 0.2 per cent rise from conventional generation sources.

Conversely, purchases from other sources, including the King Talal Dam and the Indo-Jordan Chemicals Company, decreased by 3.5 per cent, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.

Electricity sales climbed to 22,323 GWh in 2024, up from 21,105 GWh in 2023, with distribution companies accounting for a 5.5 per cent increase in sales, and sales to industrial consumers, including the extractive, transformative, and electric power sectors, rose by 7.2 per cent. Sales to other customers, including the airport, state television and radio, and others, grew by 2.8 per cent.

NEPCO’s report also noted a slight decrease of 0.9 per cent in electricity imports from Egypt, falling from 266.4 to 264.0 megawatt-hours.

The figures also showed that exports surged by 32.6 per cent, reaching 265.8 megawatt-hours. This increase was due to higher exports to the Jerusalem District Electricity Company, the Trebil border station in Iraq, and the General Company for Electricity Transmission in Iraq.
