Abstract: Using the energy-and-power evaluation program (ENPEP), which is a simulation-model, detailed predictions for the primary and final energy consumptions, electricity demands and generation-capability expansion plans, during the period 2000-2015, in Jordan, have been computed. Also, based on the Government's published policies and plans, greenhouse-gas (GHG) emissions emanating from the electricity sector and the associated proposed mitigation measures are discussed briefly. The future use of natural gas as a fuel, as a substitute for heavy fuel oil and diesel fuel, is recommended. Renewable energy technologies should be promoted, especially in proven applications, such as water heating and pumping, where their economics are attractive. Other actions, such as reducing losses in the generation system as well as the transmission and distribution networks will contribute positively to CO2-emissions mitigation in Jordan.
