Al-Saaida praised the efforts made to ensure the reliability and continuity of electricity supply, emphasizing the importance of maintaining efficient service delivery across all regions, especially in the southern governorates and the Jordan Valley.
In a press statement, he noted that the EMRC, through its round-the-clock, highly efficient Monitoring and Emergency Center and its field teams, continues to perform its regulatory role to ensure uninterrupted power supply and immediate response to any potential outages through ongoing coordination with electricity companies.
He urged companies to strengthen their field readiness and intensify awareness campaigns on energy-saving practices to help stabilize electricity loads.
He also called on citizens to avoid direct sunlight during peak hours and to use cooling systems wisely, opting for more energy-efficient alternatives when possible. This would help control electricity consumption and prevent users from moving into higher billing tiers.
Al-Saaida stressed the importance of contacting service centers or the emergency center to report any outages, affirming that EMRC teams are fully prepared to respond promptly and in accordance with the highest standards of safety and efficiency.
