AMMAN — Ziyad Saaida, Chairman of
the Board of Commissioners of the
Energy and Minerals Regulatory Commission
(EMRC), announced that starting April 1, users of renewable energy systems in
all sectors, except for small and medium-sized industrial and agricultural
sectors, will be required to pay JD2 fees for the continued service of electric
current in the absence of sunlight.

JD2 to replace electricity grid feesAccording to Al-Mamalaka TV, Saaida
said that the JD2 fees will be collected instead of the fees for using the
electricity grid, which is currently provided by the
National Electric Power Company and the Electricity Distribution Company.
The fee is because
renewable energy users are connected to the electricity grid to ensure a continuous and stable
supply of electricity, as
solar energy systems may not always produce enough
energy during periods of low sunlight, he said.
While the cost of installing solar
cells is not the responsibility of the
Energy and Minerals Regulatory Commission, Saaida clarified that it is a technology used in all sectors.
