AMMAN — The Energy and Minerals Regulatory Commission (EMRC) has announced the commencement of time-based electricity tariffs, effective on Monday, for several sectors, including electric vehicle charging, telecommunications, medium and large industries, extractive industries, and water pumping ( optional).

Under the new system, electricity tariffs are segmented into three distinct periods: peak, partial peak, and off-peak, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.

During peak hours (17:00 - 23:00), the extractive industry will be charged 226 fils/kWh, large industry 130 fils/kWh, medium industry 79 fils/kWh, and the telecommunications sector 152 fils/kWh.

Home electric vehicle charging will cost 160 fils/kWh, public charging stations without commission will be charged 133 fils/kWh, and optional water pumping will cost 106 fils/kWh.

During off-peak hours (05:00 - 14:00), the extractive industry will be charged 206 fils/kWh, large industry 110 fils/kWh, medium industry 59 fils/kWh, and the telecommunications sector 132 fils/kWh.

Home electric vehicle charging will cost 108 fils/kWh, public charging stations without commission will be charged 103 fils/kWh, and optional water pumping will cost 86 fils/kWh.

During partial peak hours (14:00 - 17:00 and 23:00 - 05:00), the extractive industry will be charged 216 fils/kWh, large industry 120 fils/kWh, medium industry 69 fils/kWh, and the telecommunications sector 142 fils/kWh.

Home electric vehicle charging will cost 118 fils/kWh, public charging stations without commission will be charged 113 fils/kWh, and optional water pumping will cost 96 fils/kWh.

The EMRC's new tariff structure is designed to encourage the transfer of electrical load to off-peak periods, where reduced rates are applied to encourage industrial sectors to capitalise on lower costs.
