Officials from NEPCO told participants that a consultant
tasked with conducting a study on both the Jordanian and Egyptian power grids has
the information to proceed and finalize the study. NEPCO added that the report
aims to determine the reason(s) behind blackout and measures to avoid the same
occurrence in the future.
According to a statement by NEPCO issued on Saturday,
participants at the announcement discussed the status of the electrical systems
before, during, and after the incident, while focusing on fluctuations in the
electrical current detected in the Jordan-Egypt power cable.
According to NEPCO's website,
Jordan is interconnected with Egypt's power grid via an underwater cable in the
south, across the Gulf of Aqaba.
Amjad Rawashdeh, general manager of NEPCO, stated during the
workshop that the electrical system is governed by standards monitored by the
Energy and Minerals Regulatory Commission. Rawashdeh also stressed that the
Kingdom’s electrical system did not experience any physical malfunctions.
Experts, academics, general managers, and officials in NEPCO
