Place of Pride Jordan will host the 7th WEF. aimed to playing a very

active role in helping achieve its goals of enhancing

regional cooperation and partnerships

Jordan’s ranking in the annual global competitiveness

index jumped by seven notches to 64th spot out of 144

countries. Performance followed two years of decline.

Last year, Jordan's ranking was 71 out of 142 countries.

“This situation represents a key opportunity for

industry, government and civil society to jointly make

historic gains in crucial areas, including youth

unemployment, transparency, income disparity

reduction, private sector development and

infrastructure,” the WEF

World Economic Forum (WEF) on the Middle East and North Africa on May 24-26, 2013, with over 1,000 participants from government, business, civil society and academia sectors from across the Middle East

Economy Under Pressure “Jordan was hit by a series of external shocks in the past

year. Repeated sabotage of the Arab Gas Pipeline in the

Sinai Peninsula reduced the average daily flows of

natural gas from Egypt. This necessitated an increase in

imports of expensive fuel products for electricity

generation while oil prices were high” Kristina Kostial, the

IMF mission chief to Jordan

While economic activity remains subdued, unexpected

additional fiscal and external pressures have arisen from

high energy prices and instability in neighboring

countries. Uncertainties related to regional economic and

political developments will continue to pose significant

challenges to Jordan in 2012-13.

The IMF Executive Board approved a 36-month Stand-by

Arrangement for Jordan amounting to about $2.05 billion,

subject to quarterly reviews.

Middle East and North Africa: Economic Outlook and Key Challenges Deauville Partnership Ministerial Meeting April 20, 2012 Washington, DCPrepared by Staff of the International Monetary Fund

International Support• In Jan 2012 The World Bank approved a $250 million loan to Jordan to

aid the nation in overcoming economic difficulties.

• Jordan will sign economic agreements with the US and the EU to provide $650 million in grants and loans.

• Kuwait has signed one grant equal to $1.25 billion, with a term of five years as a part of the GCC support.

• Jordan received $1.4 billion from Gulf countries last year

• US government agreed to extend $1.15 million to Jordan to explore implementing “smart grids” in the three largest electricity distributors in the country in April 2012

•  The French Development Agency inked a deal with the Jordanian government on Monday to provide the kingdom with a soft loan of $193 million to support its budget

The Challenges

Facts which must be addressed

Jordan imports 96 % of its energy needs and a recent decision by Cairo to stop pumping gas to the country has deepened the crisis.

Wastage accounts for about 15% and T&D losses are around 30%

“Investment of nearly $20-$25 billion in the coming 10 years, is required to achieve self-sufficiency in the energy market” Jawad Anani, President– Jordan Economic Social Council Oct 2012

Electricity sector incurred losses of over JD1 billion last year due to disruptions to the gas supply from Egypt, caused by repeated attacks on the Arab Gas Pipeline in the Sinai, and is expected to lose JD1.5 billion this year if the situation continues, according to officials

A study by Economic Policy Development indicates Jordan imported paid nearly JD3.7 billion = around 18 % of GDP

According to an expert report, the Ministry has received 64 applications from local and global companies to develop electricity generation plants based on renewable energy, and these are still under study

Report calls for concrete steps towards building wind and solar power plants

• Jordan’s Energy Crisis could have several answers • Need is to understand the relative merits and costs of each• Funding, by and large, will be the largest challenge

Tough Challenges : Endless Options

Back to nature?

In 2008, envisaged that streetlights would be powered by solar energy. A pilot project to power streetlights using solar power was supposed to be implemented at that time on the Amman Ring Road and the Hashemiyeh-Balama Street. The plan never materialized

• The 2007 energy strategy sought to boost domestic energy resources from the current 2% to 40% by 2020

• Analyst Zayyan Zawaneh, former adviser IMF, finance ministry and Central Bank of Jordan, doubts the strategy would achieve unless Jordan implements solar and wind energy schemes.

• The Wind Atlas indicates two windy regions in the northern and southern parts of Jordan. The estimated potential for wind power generation in these regions is about 50 MW (25 MW in the north and 25 MW in the south) without major changes in the grid with a potential 65–145 GWh per year.

• Jordan enjoys over 300 days of sunshine compared to European countries with much lesser, is working on meeting nearly 1/3 of their energy needs by 2050

Jordan has benefited from the operational experience of the accomplished wind energy projects, especially in Al-Ibrahimyya and Hofa.

Alternative & Smarter Solutions?

Renewable energy, nuclear and oil shale projects, are singled out as key to reducing the country’s reliance on energy imports

“Establishing a smart-grid is not an option but a must for Jordan in order to improve services and move the country towards the future,” ERC Commissioner Ahmad Hiyasat

US government extended $1.15 million to Jordan to explore implementing “smart grids” in the three largest electricity distributors in the country in April 2012

Are Smart Grids the right answer?
