Jordan

Jordan’s energy transition is gaining momentum. With solar and wind now powering over a quarter of the grid, the country is reducing its dependence on imported fuels and strengthening energy security. But as renewables grow, so do the challenges—especially around system stability, cost, and flexibility.

Unlocking flexibility: the next frontier in Jordan’s energy transition

Jordan is entering a new phase—one that’s not just about expanding renewables, but also about making the energy system smarter and more adaptable. With peak solar generation during the day and rising demand in the evening, conventional generation still fills the gap—driving up costs and emissions. Tackling this mismatch is Jordan’s next frontier.

  • >25% powered by solar and wind

    More than a quarter of Jordan’s electricity now comes from solar and wind.

  • 22% electricity consumed by industry

    The industrial sector uses 22% of the country’s electricity, with energy costs making up to 30% of production expenses.

MENALINKS in action

Jordan’s industrial sector is emerging as a strategic lever for flexibility. Facilities in cement, mining, and food processing have the potential to shift loads, participate in demand response, and can support in peak shaving. These actions not only reduce costs but also support grid stability and enable deeper renewable integration.

MENALINKS is working closely with the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (MEMR) in Jordan, the National Electric Power Company (NEPCO), and the Electricity and Minerals Regulatory Commission (EMRC) to turn this potential into action. Together, we are:

  • Assessing flexibility opportunities across industries.

  • Identifying regulatory and financial barriers.

  • Supporting tailored solutions and pilot projects.

From policy support and capacity building to technical modelling and international best practices, MENALINKS is helping Jordan unlock the full value of industrial flexibility.

MENALINKS also serves as a strategic bridge between governmental bodies and industrial stakeholders, aiming to foster collaborative, win-win solutions for all parties involved.

Jordan isn’t just expanding renewables—it’s rethinking how energy is consumed, stored, and shared. MENALINKS is proud to be part of that transformation.
