It said the agreements are expected to be concluded
and signed before the end of this year.
NEPCO Director-General Amjad Al-Rawashdeh said that
the two sides concurred that the project will be commercially operational in
the second half of 2025.
During two days of meetings in Amman, both sides
discussed progress in the Jordanian-Saudi electricity connectivity project to
enhance cooperation between the two neighboring kingdoms in the energy field.
Rawashdeh emphasized the importance of the project
in enhancing the stability and reliability of the electric grid in both
countries by providing the necessary support and reserves as well as power
exchanges in times of peak electric loads.
The project could improve the economics of operating
electric systems and enhance its capability in both countries, he noted.
He also tackled the strategic aspect of the project,
which is represented in achieving Arab energy integration and regional
electricity markets.
Currently, NEPCO is working on several regional connectivity
projects with neighboring countries, as Jordan seeks to become a regional
energy exchange center in the region in accordance with Jordan’s power
strategy.
