Energy in Jordan describes energy and electricity production, consumption and import in Jordan. Jordan is among the highest in the world in dependency on foreign energy sources,[1] with 92.3%[2] of the country's energy supply being imported.
Moreover, multiple attacks on the Arab Gas Pipeline from 2011-2014 which supplies 88% of the country's electricity generation needs - forced the country’s power plants onto diesel and heavy fuel oil, costing the treasury millions of dinars and pushing the national energy bill to record highs, over JD4 billion.
Primary energy use in Jordan was, in 2009, 87 TWh and 15 TWh per million persons and, in 2008, 82 TWh and 14 TWh/million persons.[3]
In 2021, the composition of the total energy supply (TES) consisted of 51% oil, 38% gas, 3% coal, and 8% renewables. Modern renewables (that is, non-fossil fuel, non-biomass sources) made up 10% of final energy consumption in 2020; this is an increase from 3% in 2015.
