Abstract: Jordan depends on imported oil to meet most of its requirements for generating electricity. However, there is optimism over the prospects for harnessing indigenous natural gas. Oil shale has also been found to be technically feasible as a fuel for direct combustion in power generation. It is the aim of the Government to up-grade the electrical network and to make energy available to low-income consumers, agricultural enterprises and manufacturing industry. The prospects for insolation and wind power as renewable energy resources locally for electricity generation is good. There is as yet only a single district-heating scheme operating in Jordan.
