Power Demand Climbs to 4,220 MW Amid Soaring Summer Temperatures

Amman, Aug. 5 (Petra) — The electricity demand continued to rise
with the summer heat, as the National Electric Power Company (NEPCO)
reported that the Kingdom’s peak load reached 4,220 megawatts (MW) on
Tuesday.

The company said the national electricity system remains highly
reliable and is operating as planned, with additional measures in
place to accommodate increased power consumption driven by
persistently high temperatures.

NEPCO noted that it has intensified its operational readiness to
ensure uninterrupted electricity supply as demand continues to grow
during the hot weather.

The company also urged consumers to use electricity efficiently,
particularly during peak demand periods, emphasizing that responsible
energy use plays a key role in maintaining the stability and
reliability of Jordan’s national power grid.
