AMMAN — Home electricity users’
receivables until the end of the year 2020 stood at JD307 million, according to
Khaberni.
According to the response of the
Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources to a question asked by deputy Raed Al-Dhahrawi,
consumers’ failure to pay electricity bills affects the cash flow in the
sector, which increases the cost of debt service.

The accumulation of receivables resulted in
electricity cutoffs, but electricity distribution companies cooperated and
reconnected citizens, paying the bills for owners, provided that they the debts
according to a set timetable.
Article 3 of the
instructions regulating cases of disconnection of electricity supply to
consumers, issued under the provisions of Article 55 of the General Electricity
Law No. 64 for the year 2002, states that “the consumer shall be obligated to
pay all amounts owed to the company as a result of supply of electricity within
30 days of issuing the electricity bill, and the company has the right to
disconnect the electric current from the subscription for which the due debts
have not been paid by the expiry of this period”.
