"National strategy for the energy sector within a week



Zawati for Jafra: Announcing the National Energy Sector Strategy within a week
Jafra News - Razan Abdul-Hadi

Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Hala Zawati confirmed to "Jafra News" that the announcement of the national strategy for the energy sector will be within a week at the latest.

At the same time, the Ministry of Energy had previously confirmed that the National Energy Strategy and the comprehensive plan will be ready during the middle of last year 2019 and therefore it will be presented to the Council of Ministers, as well as updating the strategy until 2030 and including short and medium-term goals, but it was late.

In contrast, Jafra learned from unofficial sources, that the national energy strategy will mainly depend on renewable energy projects and less on traditional energy.

The same sources also suggested that the energy strategy include expansion by issuing a license for oil companies, including licensing a fourth company to market oil derivatives and agreeing to a number of requests to import liquefied petroleum gas.

Sources confirmed to "Jafra News", that the energy strategy does not include energy derived from the oil shale sector due to the great challenges facing oil shale distillation projects due to the high costs of available technology in addition to the difficulty of financing such projects.

On the other hand, sources expected to increase electricity production from renewable energy projects to 2,400 out of 1,430 megawatts by the end of 2020.

The energy strategy constitutes a national option for its association with projects that affect the sector, and specialists believe that the government delay in discussing this strategy negatively affects the economic structure and its structure and harms the competitiveness of the Jordanian market, especially related to the energy sector and the goals that enhance the Kingdom's energy sources and ensure the security of energy supply and that it is on the Ministry Energy in this case, launching the strategy or justifying the reason for delaying its issuance, especially as it has major axes of energy security and independence, diversification of resources, lowering the cost of energy, and ensuring that strengthening domestic energy sources is a high priority."
