“The parties agreed that in the second half of 2025 they will commercially launch the project (combining power grids – ed.),” the head of NEPCO told reporters following negotiations with the Saudi delegation in Amman on the progress of work on interconnecting the power grids of the two countries.

The launch of the project will allow Riyadh and Amman to improve the reliability of power supply and make it more economical due to the flexible distribution of the reserves of a single power grid, Ravashda said. According to him, NEPCO is simultaneously implementing several similar projects with neighboring countries, which will allow Jordan to become one of the regional hubs in the power industry.
