This is a policy developed by the Ministry of Water and Irrigation in 2015. This policy is intended to serve as a tool for implementing an ambitious national program to promote energy efficiency and renewable energy usage in the water sector. The purpose of this policy is to improve the energy efficiency in the Jordanian water sector, to reduce water supply costs and accordingly to contribute to the growth of the Jordanian economy. Furthermore, this policy directs the utilization of renewable energy technologies for power supply at the water facilities, and consequently, reduces the volatility of the energy prices that are typically linked to the fossil fuel prices.
