During this period, primary energy consumption initially surged between 2015 and 2017, driven by factors such as population growth, industrial development, and urban expansion. However, the pandemic significantly impacted energy consumption, causing a sharp decline up until 2020. Between 2015 and 2017, there was notable growth in energy supply to meet increasing demand. Nevertheless, the pandemic led to a drastic decrease in energy supply. Jordan has been diversifying its energy supply mix, reducing reliance on oil products in favour of renewable energy sources. This shift aligns with the country's efforts to reduce energy imports. The Third National Energy Efficiency Action Plan (NEEAP) for Jordan, spanning from 2024 to 2026, is a comprehensive framework aimed at enhancing energy efficiency across the nation. With two previous plans having achieved substantial energy savings, the Third NEEAP builds upon past successes and lessons learned. The first NEEAP achieved a 40.2% of the targeted reduction in energy consumption, primarily targeting residential and industrial sectors, while the second NEEAP achieved a 46.3% of the targeted reduction with a broader set of measures. These achievements provide valuable context for the third NEEAP. Careful selection of the baseline year and methodology is a crucial aspect of the Third NEEAP. The plan considers the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on energy consumption patterns and opts for a 2018 baseline year, aligning with the national energy strategy. Fifty energy efficiency measures are outlined, each assigned to responsible organizations. These measures aim to improve energy efficiency across residential, industrial, commercial, and transportation sectors. It aims to improve energy efficiency by 5.44% based on electricity consumption and 4.33% based on final energy consumption compared to the 2018 baseline. The anticipated cost savings from the final energy reduction are estimated to be approximately 214 million JOD. below table outlines targets broken down by sector, including investment costs, and greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions.

1. Introduction Jordan's economy has grown steadily at around 2.5% annually since 2013 except in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Jordan's primary energy consumption has risen in the past decades, but it has experienced a decrease since 2017. The economic growth was associated and coupled with a higher demand for energy up until 2017. Energy efficiency supports the decoupling of economic growth from energy demand. Moreover, it creates the conditions for Jordan to meet the goals of a sustainable, secure, and affordable energy supply while fulfilling its climate action commitments. The Jordanian energy strategy (2020-2030) aims to increase domestic resources (especially renewable energy sources) and energy consumption efficiency. Thus, the strategy reduces the economy's dependence on imported energy sources (security of supply) and energy consumption (efficiency of consumption). Energy intensity, energy consumption per economic output, is the primary long-term indicator for the energy efficiency policy. The National Energy Efficiency Action Plan (NEEAP) is a short-term national plan to meet energy efficiency targets, contributing to the energy strategy and the objectives of energy transition and climate protection. It includes all the necessary programmes and projects in the shape of measures concerning energy efficiency implemented by ministries and all concerned stakeholders in a close cooperation. Jordan's Energy efficiency has improved since 2011 through the first and second NEEAPs and the adopted energy strategies. The first NEEAP (2012-2014), focused on energy efficiency measures in the residential, public, industrial, commercial and water sector alongside some individual measures. In total, it comprised of 11 measures and set the target to save 806 GWh of electricity, a 7.6% improvement compared to the average electricity consumption from 2006-2010. By the end of the first NEEAP period, approx. 40% (324 GWh) of the intended energy savings were reached. The second NEEAP (2018-2020), aimed at 1975 GWh of cumulative energy savings, a 17.6% target compared to average electricity consumption from 2006-2010, through the implementation of 35 sectoral and crosscutting measures within the residential, commercial, tertiary, industrial, water, street lighting, public and transport sector. By the end of the NEEAP period, approximately 46.3% (914.26 GWh) of the intended energy savings were reached. The Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (MEMR) publishes this third NEEAP for 2024-2026 based on the energy strategy (2020-2030) and building on the first and the second NEEAPs. Furthermore, Medium- and long-term strategies and measures in all sectors are considered and endorsed in preparing the third NEEAP. The Jordanian-German Energy Partnership supported the development of the third NEEAP through Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) in collaboration with the German Energy Agency (dena). The energy efficiency measures included in the third NEEAP were developed in close cooperation with stakeholders from all relevant sectors and with the support of further local and international experts. The process of the third NEEAP development and methodology considered the Arab Guideline for Improving Electricity Efficiency of the Arab League and international good practices. As such, as a guidance, a wide range of measures from other countries were evaluated in terms of their eligibility for Jordan. During the process, a large number of meetings ensured the involvement of stakeholders who had the opportunity to bring in their impulses. Thus, the ideas and contributions of many stakeholders from all sectors in Jordan were integrated in the development of the third NEEAP. 8 In 2021, the sectoral distribution of the final energy mix was transport, residential, industry, and commercial (highest to lowest energy-consuming). Thus, the third NEEAP targeted the efforts on these sectors, additionally the sectoral measures cover water and agriculture sectors. The third NEEAP consists of 50 comprehensive sectoral and cross-sectoral measures (with 61 subordinate measures) to be implemented in 2024-2026. The main planned activities in the sectors are the following: • Industrial sector, the focus is on further intensifying energy audits and implementing pilot projects. Measures in this sector also include initiatives like the EU Green Economy program in Jordan and the Competence Center for Energy Efficiency for promoting sustainable practices. Specific industries, such as food processing and textiles, are targeted to reach energy efficient and cleaner production methods. With the budget of the existing and new programs of JREEEF and international donors further pilot projects and a funding program for energy-efficient technologies should be implemented. • Residential sector, besides anchoring energy requirements for new buildings, the focus is to improve existing buildings efficiency using different methods and technologies (e.g., solar water heaters, efficient air-conditioning units and electrical appliances) without neglecting awareness and the development of know-how among institutions and experts. Information and awareness enable households to implement immediate and small measures (low-cost and on behaviour) further opportunities are achievable with energy consultancy. • Service sector, energy efficiency in the services sector is targeted by 7 key measures. These include energy assessments for the service sector, the Tourism Sector Energy Efficiency Program (TSEEP), by implementing detailed energy audits in hotels in Aqaba city to promote energy efficiency retrofits in this sector. Additionally, measures also include a public building energy database, a roadmap for energy efficiency in public buildings, and a lighting replacement program to install energy-savings LED units for municipalities. Moreover, the measures include a pilot project for MEMR building, energy audits for public schools, ministries and the installation of solar water heaters in public hospitals. These initiatives collectively target enhanced energy conservation and sustainability. • Transport sector, analytical measures such as studies and strategies are conducted for multiple infrastructure projects that will lead to significant energy savings. Public transport system enhancement (such as efficiency, accessibility, and sustainability) and infrastructure expansion (such as Bus Rapid Transit transportation systems) will encourage transport mode shift. Moreover, electric vehicles adaptation is endorsed and accelerated through the strategic implementation of charging infrastructure. Furthermore, the endorsement of energy-efficient heavy-duty vehicles, the implementation of the National Railway project's first phase (Aqaba-Ma’an-Amman Madouneh), and the tracking of government vehicles all contribute to fostering new efficient transportation systems and the preservation of resources. • Water and agricultural sector, a total of six significant measures are being implemented to enhance energy efficiency. Within the water sector, four impactful initiatives include energy audits, the implementation of energy management systems (EnMS) projects, replacement of pumps with energy-efficient models and the incorporation of Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs), and the restructuring and rehabilitation of water systems. In the agricultural sector, efforts are focused on assessing the energy efficiency potential and supporting the installation of Variable 9 Speed Drives (VSD) on irrigation pumps, both aimed at reducing energy consumption and improving efficiency in agricultural practices. • Cross-sectoral decision making will be enhanced using enhanced KPIs by improving the necessary structures for data collection, monitoring, and analysis. Thus, enabling policy updates and the amendments of the By-laws. Moreover, a comprehensive national campaign on energy efficiency is a crucial measure to strengthen the awareness of the energy transition, climate action and energy efficiency in all target groups. By strengthening personnel capacities, the knowledge of experts will be expanded. ESCO market development is a key measure to mainstream energy efficiency, improving capacities and developing business models in all sectors. The use and further development of the Jordan Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Fund (JREEEF) is an important basis for realising the necessary financing of many measures. With the third NEEAP, a special emphasis is being put on the implementation of a systematic energy data collection and analysis of energy efficiency issues, reflecting the main measures in the sectors. A systematic monitoring of the energy efficiency policy will be implemented with specific KPIs in the sectors. Hereby, the current data situation requires further development to meet the new requirements to stringently implement and monitor the energy efficiency policy. The responsible body for steering the NEEAP and the associated monitoring process is the MEMR, which oversees the regulation and implementation of policies applicable to energy and energy efficiency. The measures implementing ministries and organisations are responsible to regularly deliver the needed information about their measures and sectors and are involved in adequate organisational structures on the steering and working level. The implementation of the measures is monitored regularly and systematically along the foreseen milestones and the impact. Therefore, appropriate KPIs for sectors and subsectors will be defined, and the systematic data-management will be elaborated therefore a specialised unit is foreseen. The monitoring will result in progress reports and a final NEEAP monitoring report to be approved by MEMR in accordance with other ministries. In these reports information on the implementation progress of every measure is foreseen along the set milestones and the implementation of savings. Thus, the savings will be measured and an overall impact of the NEEAP will be estimated. 10 2. Energy Situation in Jordan This chapter delves into the past development and current situation of Jordan's energy landscape, covering the country's energy demand (chapter 2.1) and supply (chapter 2.2), electricity demand (chapter 2.3) and supply (chapter 2.4), as well as its energy intensity development (chapter 2.5). Subsequently, energy efficiency policies are summarised in chapter 2.6 and the development of the energy service companies’ market (ESCO) is described in chapter 2.7. The years 2015 to 2021 are considered, with 2018 serving as the baseline year prior to the outbreak of the covid pandemic which had a substantial impact on the Jordanian energy market. Thoroughly understanding the energy situation in Jordan through these seven chapters will support the measures in chapter four and pave the way for a more sustainable and resilient energy future for the country.

2.1 Energy Demand In recent years, Jordan's energy demand has decreased due to the COVID-19 pandemic and its consequences. Between 2015 and 2017, Jordan witnessed a significant increase in final energy consumption, recording a growth of 15.9%, which translates to 941 ktoe. Factors such as population growth, industrial development, and expanding urban areas all contributed to this increase in energy consumption. However, the final energy consumption experienced a sharp decline of 16% (equating to 1094 ktoe) between 2017 and 2020, as shown in Figure 1. Despite this decline, final energy consumption increased in 2021 as the economy began to recover, reaching 6,222 ktoe. Although the final energy consumption showed a trend toward recovery, the energy consumption remains below pre-pandemic levels in 2018. 7 Total Final Energy Consumption (Mtoe) 6 5 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 Figure 1: Final energy consumption for the years 2015-2021 (Mtoe) (MEMR, 2015-2021) Jordan's energy consumption is divided into four key sectors: transport, industry, residential, and commercial. Table 1 presents the final energy consumption for each sector from 2015 to 2021. The transportation sector has been the biggest energy consumer since 2015, accounting for almost half the total energy consumption. However, the energy consumption in the transportation sector decreased significantly, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, by 1,123 ktoe between 2017 and 2020, which is more than the overall decrease in final energy consumption. As a result, the energy consumption in the other sectors remained relatively stable. 11 Table 1: Sectoral final energy consumption for the years 2015-2021 (ktoe) (MEMR, 2015-2021) Sector 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 Transport 2,811 3,184 3,431 3,363 3,074 2,308 2,677 Industry 991 1,064 938 954 891 935 1,017 Residential 1,272 1,342 1,549 1,463 1,484 1,487 1,520 Commerce and other 754 826 950 981 1,109 1,045 1,008 Total 5,927 6,416 6,868 6,761 6,560 5,774 6,222 In 2018, the transport sector was the most energy intensive, accounting for 49% of the total energy consumption. This was primarily due to the mode of transportation and the efficiency of fleets. The residential sector followed as the second largest energy consumer, while the industrial and commercial sectors had almost equal shares of energy consumption. Figure 2 provides a detailed breakdown. 14.0% Transport Residential 15.5% 49.0% Commerce & Other Industry 21.5% Figure 2: Sector distribution of the final energy consumption for the year 2018 (MEMR, 2015-2021)

2.2 Energy Supply The level of energy supply has fluctuated significantly in recent years. While the rising demand between 2015 and 2017 was accompanied by an impressive growth in supply of 12% (1065 ktoe), the COVID-19 pandemic led to a drastic decrease of about 14% (1426 ktoe) between 2017 and 2020. The drop in energy supply is highly concerning because the supply fell below the 2015 level. However, there has been a slight improvement, with the supply reaching 8726 ktoe in 2021, although still below the 2015 level, as illustrated in Figure 3. It is important to note that the energy supply is on the path to recovery, with 2022 witnessing an increase in supply due to the ongoing economic recovery. 12 10.5 Total Energy Mix (Mtoe) 9.5 8.5 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 Figure 3: Total energy supply for the years 2015-2021 (Mtoe) (MEMR, 2015-2021) Between 2015 and 2021 the energy supply mix in Jordan has experienced significant changes as shown in Table 2. The energy supply was dominated by oil products which made up 71 % of the total supply in 2015. However, the energy supply mix has become more balanced, oil product accounts for 45% and natural gas for 37% in 2021. To reduce the imports dependency, Jordan has been actively investing in renewable energy sources which led to a remarkable rise in their share in the energy mix from 2% (160 ktoe) in 2015 to 14% (1245 ktoe) in 2021. Consequently, the domestic energy supply also increased from 3% in 2015 to 16% in 2021. Table 2: Energy mix by sector for the years 2015-2021 (ktoe) (MEMR, 2015-2021) Primary Energy 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 Crude Oil & Petroleum 6,331 5,327 5,671 5,225 5,006 4,121 3,966 Products Coal & Lignite 326 402 313 297 143 152 226 Renewable Energy 160 412 515 753 823 982 1,245 Natural Gas 1,944 3,389 3,510 3,438 3,281 3,311 3,270 Imported Electricity 152 84 13 47 12 16 19 Total 8,944 9,614 10,009 9,759 9,266 8,583 8,726 In 2018, Jordan depended on crude oil and petroleum products to provide 53.6% of its energy supply, as shown in Figure 4. Meanwhile, natural gas contributed to 35.2% of the total energy supply, primarily used for electricity. Domestic sources only accounted for 8% of the energy supply of that renewable sources comprised 7.7% of the domestic sources. 13 0% Crude Oil & Petroleum Products 35% Coal & Lignite Renewable Energy 54% Natural Gas Imported Electricity 8% 3% Figure 4: Energy mix per energy carrier for the year 2018 (MEMR, 2015-2021)

2.3 Electricity Demand Between 2015 and 2021, electricity consumption in Jordan rose by almost 19% (3,133 GWh). However, there was a slight decrease in 2018, as shown in Figure 5. This increase in demand puts a significant strain on the power grid, necessitating continuous investment in infrastructure and power generation capacity. 20 Total Final Electricity Consumption (TWh) 19 18 17 16 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 Figure 5: Total electricity consumption for the years 2015-2021 (TWh) (MEMR, 2015-2021) Table 3 displays the sectors that primarily drive electricity consumption, namely residential, industrial, commercial and the public sector, as well as water and street lighting. The main drivers of electricity consumption are residential demand, commercial activities, and water pumping. Due to the increased population and the effects of COVID-19, more people are working from home, causing residential electricity consumption to increase by 5% between 2015 and 2021. Meanwhile, other sectors have decreased its electricity consumption over the same period. It is worth mentioning that the electricity consumption values mentioned earlier does not take into consideration electricity generated independently, commonly referred to as "Behind the Meter (BTM)" generation, as an example, electricity generated from renewable energy sources. 14 Table 3: Sectoral electricity consumption for the years 2015-2021 (GWh) (MEMR, 2015-2021) Sector 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 Residential Buildings 6,938 7,448 8,076 8,038 8,260 9,100 9,269 Industry 4,012 3,939 3,785 3,877 3,622 3,489 4,049 Commercial & Public Services 2,460 2,447 2,655 2,507 2,870 2,584 2,831 Agriculture & Water Pumping 2,426 2,485 2,655 2,706 2,747 2,866 2,767 Street Lighting 337 350 403 404 411 387 390 Total Electricity Consumption 16,173 16,669 17,574 17,532 17,910 18,425 19,306 In 2018, the largest electricity consumer was the residential sector, accounting for 45.9% (8038 GWh) of total electricity consumption. Following closely behind were the productive sectors (industry and commercial), collaboratively consuming 36.4% (6384 GWh). The third largest electricity consumer was the water sector, which accounted for 15.4% (2655 GWh) due to the high demand for water pumping caused by the natural water scarcity in Jordan, as shown in Figure 6. 2% 16% Residential Buildings Industry 46% Commercial & Public Services 14% Agriculture & Water Pumping Street Lighting 22% Figure 6: Sectoral share of electricity consumption for the year 2018 (MEMR, 2015-2021)

2.4 Electricity Supply Jordan has achieved a remarkable accomplishment through the Rural Electrification Project (Files Al- Reef), as 99.9% of the population now has access to electricity. The peak load has increased by 17.6% since 2018, with the highest demand seen during winter nights, as shown in Figure 7. In 2020, The National Electric Power Company maintained a reliable electricity supply despite the challenges and difficulties compounded by the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, the electricity supply in 2020, averaged at only 1.6 interruptions of 136 minutes per interruption. 15 4000 Peak load for Interconnected 3800 3600 System (MW) 3400 3200 3000 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 Figure 7: Grid peak load for the years 2015-2021 (MW) (NEPCO, 2015-2021) New power plants were constructed, both conventional and renewable, to meet the rising electricity demand and peak load. Combined cycle plants dominate the power generation capacity, accounting for almost half of the 2021 generation capacity. Meanwhile, renewable energy plants have experienced significant expansion since 2016, constituting 28.4% of the generation capacity connected to the transmission network. The generation capacity share of steam and gas turbines technologies has decreased due to their lower efficiency compared to combined cycle power plants, as illustrated in Figure 8. 6000 5000 Generation capacity oconnected to the 4000 3000 transmission network (MW) 2000 1000 0 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 Steam Natural Gas (Gas Turbine) Combined Cycle Diesel Hydro Wind Solar Figure 8: Generation capacity (MW) (NEPCO, 2015-2021) Natural gas, heavy fuel, and diesel are used in the electricity generation sector. However, the use of natural gas decreased to less than 10% in 2014 due to supply disruptions. Currently, natural gas is the primary fuel used in electricity generation because it is the most cost-effective option for electricity generation, as shown in Figure 9, compared to diesel and heavy fuel. 16 100% 80% 60% 40% 20% 0% 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 Heavy Fuel Natural Gas Diesel Figure 9: Fuel consumption share for electricity generation (NEPCO, 2010-2021)

2.5 Energy Intensity Economy-wide energy intensity is the energy used to produce a single unit of gross domestic product (GDP). It reflects how efficiently an economy consumes energy, representing mid and long-term changes in one country. Economy-wide energy intensity represents an aggregate of energy consumption from various activities and provides a rough idea of energy consumption trends with economic development. Jordan's energy intensity improved by around 1 MJ per 2017 $ Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) between 1990 to 2019, as illustrated in Figure 10. The decreasing energy intensity indicates a higher economic efficiency in energy consumption. 5 TES/GDP (MJ per 2017 USD PPP) 4.5 4 3.5 3 1990 1995 2000 2005 2010 2015 Figure 10: Long-term Jordan energy intensity trend in MJ per 2017 USD (PPP) (IEA, 2022) From 2016 to 2021, Jordan's energy intensity varied but ultimately decreased to its lowest level since 2016. The COVID-19 pandemic had impacted Jordan's energy intensity, resulting in a drop of 6% between 2019 and 2020, as illustrated in Figure 11. 17 260 Energy intensity (kgoe/1000$ in 240 fixed prices) 220 200 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 Figure 11: Energy intensity for 2016-2021 (MEMR, Jordan Energy Balance, 2015-2021) The energy supply in Jordan is heavily dependent on imports, which account for 84% of the total energy supply in 2021. Its impact on Jordan's GDP has been significant, varied between 7% and 10% of the total GDP before the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, the economy is heavily burdened by the high cost of imported energy. The adverse economic effects of expensive energy imports are among several factors contributing to Jordan's energy intensity. 3.0 12% 10% 10% 9% 10% 8% 2.0 7% 8% 6% 6% 4% 1.0 4% 2% - 0% 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 Cost of imported energy (Billion JOD) Energy cost per GDP (%) Figure 12: Cost of imported energy and its percentage of total GDP (MEMR, 2015-2021) Regarding energy efficiency policies, it's not enough to look at the overall energy intensity of the economy. Many factors, such as economic changes, energy sources, and business cycles, can influence the economy-wide energy intensity. To better understand energy intensity trends, it's more helpful to examine sector-specific energy intensity, which filters out broader economic effects. Going even further and breaking down the data into sub-sectors can provide even more valuable insights, but it also requires more extensive data collection and analysis. 18

2.6 Energy Efficiency Policy MEMR is the policy maker responsible for the design and implementation of the energy sector development strategies and policies and the oversight of their implementation. The EMRC is the sector regulator, carrying out, licensing, and supervising regulated activities. The Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Law of 2012 (Law 13 of 2012) has been instrumental in advancing energy efficiency and formulating effective policies which initiated the energy efficiency sector. Before the Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Law of 2012, the Jordanian National Building Law of 1993 (Law 7 of 1993) was the main framework for energy efficiency in the building sector. The Jordanian National Building Law of 1993 regulates the construction sector, including the development and enforcement mechanisms of building codes. By virtue of the Jordanian National Building Law, the National Building Council developed the Thermal Insulation Code (in 1998 and revised in 2009) and the Energy Efficient Building Code (in 2010) that enhanced building’s energy efficiency. By virtue of The Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Law of 2012 (Law 13 of 2012) and its amendment (Law 33 of 2014), several supporting bylaws were enacted, including:  By-law 73 of 2012 on Regulating Procedures and Means of Conserving Energy and Improving Its Efficiency. Issued by virtue of article (18) of the Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency law 13 of 2012.  By-law 49 of 2015. The establishment of the Jordan Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Fund (JREEEF) according to article (12) of the Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Law 13 of 2012.  By-law 50 of 2018 of Provisions and Conditions of Exempting Systems of Renewable Energy Sources and its Devices and Equipment and the Energy Efficiency Equipment from the Customs Fees and Subjecting them to General Sales Tax in Percentage or Amount of (Zero) according to the Paragraph (C) of Article (11) of the Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Law 13 of 2012. Several standards and regulations were introduced to further enhance energy efficiency practices in Jordan. For example, the following standards and regulations were key to the energy efficiency development:  Energy Audit Services Regulation: Instructions for the license to practice the provision of energy audit services for the year 2017 issued in accordance with the provisions of Article (6) of the By- law 73 of 2012.  Energy Efficiency Standards and Labels addressing “energy-using products”: In accordance with By-law 73 of 2012, which prohibited the manufacturing and importing of equipment that did not meet the minimum energy efficiency standards, in 2013, JSMO introduced Energy Label Technical Rules and Eco-design regulations for household appliances: JS 2104, JS 2108, JS 2101, and JS 2092: 2013. To ensure compliance with these standards, the Energy Labelling Laboratory was established at NERC, equipped to test the energy efficiency and adherence to labelling standards.  Energy Audits Standards: JSMO developed JS 2243-(1-5): 2019 Energy Audits Jordanian Standards; comprehensive standards for energy audits. These standards specify the requirements, methodology and deliverables of an energy audit across various sectors. 19

2.7 Energy Service Framework Energy Service Companies (ESCOs) develop energy efficiency projects through a complete range of services. ESCOs provide a variety of business models to accommodate clients' requests based on the project details. These models implement energy saving measures, designed and engineered based on energy audits. However, the services extend to securing funds and managing the facility operations. While Jordan has gained initial experience with the ESCO projects, further development is necessary to grow the market. Access to investment capital is essential for covering the upfront costs of energy efficiency projects. However, accessing sufficient capital remains a major challenge in ESCO implementation. External financing is often required in ESCO models to share risks and provide adequate funding for energy efficiency projects. Funds supporting energy transition and climate action, such as JREEEF, can offer preferential debt, loan guarantees, or lease instruments to supplement ESCOs' and site hosts' funds. These funds have played a significant role in accelerating ESCO markets by providing "green" financing aligned with ESCOs' objectives, which is not typically offered by traditional financing institutions. JREEEF's expertise in funding mechanisms and its partnership with ESCOs are expected to foster the growth of ESCOs in Jordan. Energy efficiency projects are crucial for advancing the ESCO market, generating energy savings, reducing carbon emissions, and promoting economic growth. To support ESCOs, JREEEF has initiated a pilot project in the tourism sector in Aqaba based on the ESCO model. Concrete support from government agencies like JREEEF and international organizations can accelerate the development of the ESCO market. Engaging relevant stakeholders, including clients, energy service companies, and financial service providers, will further expand the market. This expansion will encourage the development of specialized financial products by green funds and banks, contributing to the de-risking of investments in the sector. In addition to financing, several key aspects contribute to a successful ESCO market. These include having technical skills and expertise to effectively implement energy efficiency projects, establishing legally enforceable performance contracts to ensure energy savings, raising awareness among the private sector about the benefits of energy efficiency upgrades, and utilizing standardized tender documents that outline the ESCO model and required services. Collaborative efforts between stakeholders in the ESCO market, along with support from the public sector, will address these barriers and leverage success factors. Jordan's existing energy efficiency policy framework provides a supportive regulatory environment for the growth of energy services. The pilot projects undertaken by JREEEF pave the way for further development and growth of the ESCO market. The inclusion of multiple measures in the third NEEAP represents a significant step towards advancing the ESCO market in Jordan. 20 3. National Energy Efficiency Objectives This chapter establishes the framework for achieving national energy efficiency objectives by analysing previous savings in the first and second NEEAPs, introducing the methodology and baseline for the Third NEEAP, discussing energy consumption forecast, and outlining the national energy efficiency target. It concludes with a summary of proposed measures to enhance energy efficiency, providing a solid foundation for effective implementation of the Third NEEAP.

3.1 Previous Energy Efficiency Action Plans Jordan has successfully implemented two NEEAPs in the past decade: the first from 2012-2014 and the second from 2018-2020. The National Energy Research Center (NERC) of the Royal Scientific Society (RSS) developed the first NEEAP with support from the MED-ENEC program in collaboration with Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), Ecofys (now known as Guidehouse), and Agence de la transition écologique (ADEME) from France. The second NEEAP was developed by the Jordan Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Fund of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (MEMR) with support from the European Union's REEE II technical assistance project. The previous NEEAPs were developed based on the Arab Guideline for Improving Electricity Efficiency to achieve an energy saving of 2258 GWh. The saving intended to achieve a target of 20% based on the average electricity consumption between 2006 and 2010. The NEEAPs included 46 energy efficiency measures targeting various sectors, such as residential, public, industrial, commercial, water, and street lighting. The first NEEAP had 11 measures to achieve savings of 806 GWh, equivalent to a 7.6% reduction from the baseline. The second NEEAP had 35 measures, 26 for specific sectors and 9 cross- sectoral measures, with an overall goal of achieving a total savings of 1975 GWh, equivalent to a 17.6% reduction from the baseline energy consumption. Table 4 provides a detailed summary of the targets achieved in the previous NEEAPs. Table 4: Overview of previous Jordanian NEEAPs Previous Energy Reduction Period Number of measures Sectors NEEAPs Target (%) Residential, commercial, service, 7.6 % final electricity First 2012 - 11 sectoral measures industrial, water pumping, street consumption, approx.

It primarily focused on the residential and industrial sectors, the largest electricity consumer. Six energy efficiency measures were employed to target these sectors, resulting in a saving of 609 GWh, which accounted for approximately 75% of the first NEEAP's objective. Although the industrial sector achieved an 80% saving from the target, the residential sector had the highest energy savings of 172 GWH. The energy savings achieved by each sector in the first NEEAP can be found in Table 5. 21 Table 5: Targeted and achieved savings for the first NEEAP. No. of Targeted savings Achieved savings Rate of Sector measures (in GWh) (in GWh) Completion (%) Residential 5 509 172 34% Commercial 1 50 15 30% Industrial 1 100 80.4 80% Water Pumping 1 85 34.1 40% Street lighting 1 19 11.4 60% Public 2 42 10.8 26% Total 11 805 323.7 40.2% The second NEEAP was ambitious in terms of measures, sectors, and savings. The second NEEAP tripled the number of measures, the targeted savings, and the achieved savings, which amounted to around 914.26 GWh (46.3%). The residential sector remained the primary focus of the second NEEAP at 998 GWh targeted saving, representing around half of the total savings. The commercial and services sector has increased incredibly the targeted savings by 752% from the first NEEAP. The achievement target increased in all sectors, exceeding 50%, except in the industrial sector. The Industrial sector faced multiple challenges and barriers that hindered the proper implementation and evaluation of energy efficiency measures. The main obstacles to implementing the second NEEAP were the availability of financial resources and the energy efficiency market readiness. The energy savings achieved by each sector in the first NEEAP can be found in Table 6. Table 6: Targeted and achieved savings for the second NEEAP. No. of Targeted savings Achieved savings Rate of Sector measures (in GWh) (in GWh) Completion (%) Residential 4 998 490.8 49.2% Commercial & services 6 376 262.4 69.8% Water Pumping 11 163 125.4 76.9% Street lighting 1 55 35.66 64.8% Industrial* 1 383 N/A N/A Cross-sectoral & other 13 N/A N/A N/A Total** 35 1975 914.26 46.3% * Data availability hindered the evaluation of the achieved savings. **Total savings does not reflect the actual energy saved. The challenges of tracking and assessing progress in the second NEEAP were significant due to the comprehensive and detailed nature of the plan, which included numerous measures and sectors. Improved information management and cross-sectoral collaboration were deemed necessary in order to address these challenges. However, the task of collecting detailed and up-to-date data was daunting and coordinating data collection efforts among different groups proved to be a significant hurdle that needed to be overcome. 22 The two previous National Energy Efficiency Action Plans (NEEAPs) achieved about 1238 GWh of energy savings, which is 55% of the 2258 GWh target for 2020. The residential sector was responsible for 53% of the total energy savings for both NEEAPs, with the industrial sector coming in second for the first NEEAP and the commercial sector for the second NEEAP. The contribution of water pumping and street lighting was also significant, as illustrated in Figure 8. 60.0% 50.0% 40.0% 30.0% 20.0% 10.0% 0.0% First NEEAP Second NEEAP Residential Commercial Industrial Water Pumping Street lighting Figure 13: Sector saving contribution for the first and the second NEEAPs.

3.2 Energy Consumption Forecast The TIMES Energy System Model was used to predict energy consumption until 2030 in the energy strategy. Two scenarios were considered: a Business-as-usual scenario (BaUS) and an Increase sustainability scenario (ISS). The BaUS assumes that the energy performance trends in terms of demand and supply will continue, while the ISS scenario assumes additional efficiency improvements and a higher penetration rate of efficient equipment. According to the model's predictions, final energy consumption from 2020-2030 will increase in both scenarios, but at different annual growth rates of 2.3% for BaUS and 1.7% for ISS. Additionally, electricity demand will increase with a yearly average of 1.7% and 1.2% for BaUS and ISS, respectively. BaUS and ISS forecast are illustrated in Figure 14. 9500 9000 Total Final Energy 8500 8000 Consumption (ktoe) 7500 7000 6500 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 2026 2027 2028 2029 2030 BaUS ISS Figure 14: Forecasted final energy consumption (MEMR, 2015) 23 For both scenarios, the transport sector will remain the primary energy-consuming sector with a share of about 53% in 2030 in both scenarios. Meanwhile, the industry and residential sectors will experience a decrease in their share of energy consumption by 2030. Regarding electricity consumption, the residential sector will still be the largest consumer, accounting for around 40% of the total in the BaUS. The industry, and Commercial and services sectors will considerably decrease their electricity consumption share by 2030 in the ISS scenario. However, the increased use of electric vehicles in the transport sector is projected to offset this reduction, as it is expected to consume 9% of total electricity consumption in 2030 in the ISS scenario. Refer to Table 7 for the detailed sectoral energy consumption in both scenarios. Table 7: Sectoral Energy Consumption in BaUS and ISS Scenarios (ktoe) 2030 Sector BaUS ISS Industry 1216 983 Residential 1696 1609 Commercial and Services 623 608 Agriculture and Water Pumping 757 697 Transport 4804 4463 Total 9,096 8,360 The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted consumption patterns leading to shifts in energy demand across different sectors because of the lockdowns, travel restrictions, and economic disruptions. As a result, actual energy consumption in Jordan was lower than previously forecasted. However, this deviation in consumption is expected to be temporary as the economy and energy consumption recover.

3.3 Third NEEAP Methodology and Baseline The third NEEAP strongly emphasised energy efficiency across all sectors and drew upon the successes of the first and second NEEAP. The transport sector received special attention due to its high energy consumption in Jordan. The residential, industrial, and other economic sectors were also recognised for their impact on energy consumption. Developing measures in the water sector was deemed necessary due to Jordan's critical water situation. The third NEEAP considered international practices and analysed energy efficiency measures employed by various countries to determine their relevance and applicability to Jordan. Throughout the development process, discussions were held with local stakeholders. A short overview of the consecutive steps during the preparation and development of the third NEEAP is given below: • Analysis of the first and second NEEAPs • Analysis of international NEEAPs from countries such as Germany, Turkey, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, and energy efficiency policy in European countries • Interviews and meetings with stakeholders from different sectors • Analysis of the available energy consumption data and identification of the sectors with greatest savings potentials 24 • Development of potential energy efficiency measures and request for energy efficiency projects and programmes (measures) from the sectors • Particular meetings with ministries responsible for the implementation of measures • Fine-tuning of measures and quantification of the potential energy savings of measures The Arab Guideline for Improving Electricity Efficiency (AMCE, 2018) was utilized to determine the baseline for the first and second NEEAPs. The guideline methodology to establish the baseline is a five- year average final electricity consumption before the target-setting year, for which official data is available. Consequently, the baseline for the first and second NEEAPs was established by calculating the average electricity consumption for 2006-2010. In 2018, the energy efficiency target for 2030 was formed in the energy strategy for 2020-2030. Therefore, the baseline for the 2030 energy efficiency target is the average electricity consumption between 2014 and 2018, according to Arab Guideline for Improving Electricity Efficiency (AMCE, 2018). However, the 2014-2018 baseline does not align with the 2021 total electricity consumption, which deviates by 2,633 GWh, as shown in Table 8. To ensure the third NEEAP baseline is accurately represented, a recent period between 2016 and 2020, similar to the previous NEEAPs baseline period, would be a more appropriate choice. Table 8: Average electricity consumption for 2014-2018 and 2016-2020, and consumption in 2021 Average electricity Average electricity Electricity Sector consumption of consumption of 2016- consumption in 2021 2014-2018 (GWh) 2020 (GWh) (GWh) Residential 7,416 8,184 9,269 Industry 3,898 3,742 4,049 Commercial & services 2,485 2,613 2,831 Water pumping 2,512 2,692 2,767 Street lighting 362 391 390 Total 16,673 17,622 19,306 The electricity consumption contributed to nearly 27% of the total energy consumption in 2021. Examining the final energy consumption is crucial to enhancing energy efficiency and effectively reducing energy consumption in vital sectors, especially transport. Hence, the final energy consumption will produce a higher potential for energy efficiency by accounting for the whole sectoral consumption. The third NEEAP baseline must extend its scope to encompass a more comprehensive energy spectrum beyond just electricity. However, the average final energy consumption for 2014- 2018 and 2016-2020 is higher than that of 2021 (Table 9) because the COVID-19 pandemic has had a distinct effect on energy consumption dynamics from electricity. Consequently, addressing sectoral consumption is vital in advancing energy efficiency and decreasing energy consumption. 25 Table 9: Average final energy consumption for 2014-2018 & 2016-2020, and consumption in 2021 Average energy Average energy Energy consumption Sector consumption of consumption of in 2021 (ktoe) 2014-2018 (ktoe) 2016-2020 (ktoe) Transport 3,069 3,072 2,677 Industry 1,005 956 1,017 Residential 1,356 1,465 1,520 Commerce and other 846 982 1,008 Total 6,296 6,476 6,222 To accurately represent energy consumption without the impact of COVID-19, the international best practice of three years average (2017-2019) is proposed as a baseline for the third NEEAP. However, to comply with the Arab Guideline for Improving Electricity Efficiency while including final energy consumption, a unified baseline is necessary (AMCE, 2018). The 2018 energy consumption is almost equal to the average consumption of 2017-2019 (Table 10) and is close to the average electricity consumption for 2016-2020 (Table 11). Therefore, the third NEEAP baseline is suggested to be a single year's final energy consumption in 2018 rather than a five-year average. This approach will yield the most accurate and reliable results. Table 10: Average final energy consumption for 2017-2019, and consumption in 2018 Average energy consumption of Energy consumption in Sector 2017-2019 (ktoe) 2018 (ktoe) Transport 3,289 3,363 Industry 928 954 Residential 1,499 1,463 Commerce and other 1,013 981 Total 6,730 6,761 Table 11: Average electricity consumption for 2016-2020, and consumption in 2018 Average electricity consumption Electricity consumption Sector of 2016-2020 (GWh) in 2018 (GWh) Residential 8,184 8,038 Industry 3,742 3,877 Commercial & services 2,613 2,507 Water pumping 2,692 2,706 Street lighting 391 404 Total 17,622 17,532 26 Moreover, 2018 is the baseline year used to develop the energy strategy for 2020-3030. Thus, taking the same base year allows for better evaluation of the achieved savings of the third NEEAP in the context of the energy strategy and whether the NEEAP is getting closer to reaching the Energy Strategy target.

3.4 Third NEEAP Target The third NEEAP 2024-2026 target is to improve energy efficiency by 5.44% (953.16 GWh) in 2026 compared to the 2018 electricity consumption baseline, according to the Arab Guideline for Improving Electricity Efficiency. Table 12 provides a detailed breakdown of the electricity consumption in 2018, the base year, and outlines the targeted energy savings for each sector as a percentage of the 2018 electricity consumption. The targeted energy savings for each sector are determined by calculating the energy savings of all quantifiable measures of the third NEEAP. Table 12: Targeted savings of the third NEEAP (2024-2026) based on the electricity consumption 2018 2024-2026 Sector Baseline (GWh) Targeted savings (GWh) % of baseline Residential 8038 190.79 2.37% Industry 3877 203.87 5.26% Commercial & services 2507 32.19 1.28% Water pumping 2706 165.43 6.11% Street lighting 404 210.05 51.99% Cross-sectoral N/A 150.83 N/A Total 17532 953.16 5.44% Considering the final energy consumption, the third NEEAP target equates to 4.33% (3408.33 GWh) in 2026 compared to the 2018 final energy consumption. Table 13 outlines the energy consumption in 2018 and the targeted savings for each sector as a percentage of the baseline. Although the overall targeted savings have increased, the saving percentage decreased due to a significant increase in the baseline. Table 13: Targeted savings of the third NEEAP (2024-2026) based on the final energy consumption. 2018 2024-2026 Sector Baseline (GWh) Targeted savings (GWh) % of baseline Transport 39112.69 2455.167 6.28% Industry 11095.02 203.875 1.84% Residential 17014.69 190.792 1.12% Commerce and other 11409.03 558.496 4.90% Total 78631.43 3408.33 4.33% 27 The energy efficiency measures were developed in collaboration with various organisations in different sectors. Local and international experts were also consulted in developing third NEEAP energy efficiency measures. All responsible organisations and involved institutions were assigned for each measure in the plan to clarify the roles and responsibilities. This NEEAP comprises 50 energy efficiency measures to be implemented between 2024 and 2026. These measures are allocated among the relevant sectors, as outlined in Table 14. Table 14: Key third NEEAP impact indicators Targeted savings by Investment cost GHG emission Sector 2026 (GWh) (million JOD) reduction (ktCO2e) Industry 203.87 37.0 92.44 Residential 190.8 56.2 82.8 Services 242.2 35.7 107.7 Transport 2,455.1 303.8 431.6 Water & agriculture 165.43 91.8 76 Cross-sectoral 150.8 81.2 69.2 Total 3408.2 605.8 859.74 These measures aim to improve energy efficiency, resulting in a considerable reduction in energy consumption and costs, thereby increasing the sustainable use of energy. Furthermore, these measures provide numerous additional benefits, such as raising awareness about energy efficiency, a better understanding of energy consumption and trends through data collection and encouraging efficient energy-consuming processes and practices. In the context of the global discussion on climate change, the efficient use of energy is crucial for achieving Jordan's climate goals and reducing overall energy consumption. The third NEEAP GHG emission reduction is estimated at 906.4 ktCO2e. Nonetheless, earlier implementation of the measures can have a significant impact on the energy transition and emission reduction. Therefore, it is essential to regularly align the NEEAP with the climate goals and integrate it into the nationally determined contributions. The potential effects of energy efficiency measures can be thoroughly assessed by examining their impact on expected energy intensity. Energy intensity serves as a crucial indicator for monitoring progress toward Sustainable Development Goal 7, which focuses on achieving affordable and clean energy. Specifically, it aligns with SDG indicator 7.3.1, which measures progress in terms of primary energy consumption and GDP. To assess the impact of these measures, three scenarios have been developed: • BAU Scenario: This scenario involves forecasting final energy consumption and total GDP without factoring in the influence of energy efficiency measures. It essentially represents a baseline projection. • SDG 7.3 Scenario: This scenario is formulated based on the global objective of meeting SDG 7.3, which entails an average annual improvement of 3.2% in energy intensity until the year 2030. 28 • Third NEEAP Scenario: In this scenario, energy intensity is calculated with consideration for the targeted 4.46% energy savings resulting from the implementation of the energy efficiency measures outlined in the third NEEAP across various sectors. Figure 15 shows that the NEEAP scenario energy intensity is outperforming the SDG scenario, which is a huge improvement from the BAU. However, this reduction in energy intensity is only achievable with significant investment in cost-effective energy efficiency improvements on a systematic scale in multiple sectors. 235 Energy Intensity ktoe/GDP 230 225 220 215 2024 2025 2026 BAU Scenario SDG 7.3 Scenario NEEAP Scenario Figure 15: Jordan Energy Intensity ktoe\ 1000 GDP (2024-2026) To determine sectoral energy intensity, two primary variables were assessed for the years 2024-2026: final energy consumption and GDP within each sector. The analysis incorporated the economic modernization vision and growth indicators specific to each sector. Energy intensity within the industrial, transportation, and commercial sectors is depicted in Figures 16 to 18 below. The proposed energy efficiency enhancements in the industrial sector have brought the SDG scenario within reach. Nevertheless, additional efforts are necessary to achieve the desired outcome. According to Figure 16, an additional 6 ktoe is required to align with the SDG. This necessitates securing funding and a firm commitment to implement all the suggested projects and initiatives. 140 Energy Intensity ktoe/GDP 135 130 125 120 2024 2025 2026 BAU Scenario SDG 7.3 Scenario NEEAP Scenario Figure 16: Industrial sector Energy Intensity ktoe\ 1000 GDP (2024-2026) 29 Figure 17 illustrates that the energy intensity in the transport sector under the NEEAP scenario surpasses that of the SDG scenario. This notable reduction in energy intensity can be attributed to the shift towards electric vehicles coupled with a decrease in the usage of gasoline-powered cars, along with the implementation of a significant public transport project designed to promote the transition from private to public transportation, and the introduction of a truck modernization program, all play crucial roles in achieving this decline. 2350 Energy Intensity ktoe/GDP 2250 2150 2050 1950 2024 2025 2026 BAU Scenario SDG 7.3 Scenario NEEAP Scenario Figure 17: Transport sector Energy Intensity Ktoe\ 1000 GDP (2024-2026) Energy intensity in the commercial, service, and other sectors demonstrates a significant reduction in the NEEAP scenario as shown in Figure 18. This decline can be attributed to substantial projects in the water sector, with a focus on enhancing energy efficiency across all water-related operations. Furthermore, a lighting replacement program for municipalities has also played a role in achieving this improvement. 115 Energy Intensity ktoe/GDP 110 105 100 2024 2025 2026 BAU Scenario SDG 7.3 Scenario NEEAP Scenario Figure 18: Other Sectors Energy Intensity ktoe/1000 GDP (2024-2026) 30 4. Energy Efficiency Measures by Sector In the following subsections, a description of the energy efficiency strategy aims and some specific goals within each sector is given alongside an overview of the individual energy efficiency measures. For each measure, the identification number (ID), name, short description, timeframe, responsible organisation and (if available) energy savings is provided. Some main measures have subordinated measures (identified through their ID through the number after the decimal point). The detailed descriptions of the measures are elaborated in the annex. The actual implementation of the developed measures depends on sufficient funding being secured for each of the described measures. For some measures funding is already available - if these are ongoing or measures that are secured through the national budget, funds from international donors or through decisions by the responsible government agencies. This NEEAP includes additional measures aimed at enhancing energy efficiency, but these measures have not been fully detailed to the extent where funding decisions have been reached. Thus, cost estimates have been provided to the best extent possible at this stage. The initial phase of NEEAP implementation intends to refine these strategies to the point where implementation specifics and their associated costs are finalized, allowing responsible stakeholders to make informed decisions regarding their execution. It is especially crucial to determine which of these measures may require international donor support and to establish the necessary preparations. Information on the financial backing secured for each measure can be found in the measure sheet in the annex.

4.1 Industry Industry accounts for a significant share of total energy consumption (approx. 16%), which includes the consumption of electricity, gas, oil, and fuels to operate equipment and machines, generate heat and ensure the transportation of goods and raw materials (dealt with in the transport sector). The energy efficiency plan for industry, therefore, must focus on very different energy consumption levels and set conditions and incentives for the entire sector to systematically reduce energy consumption in all sub-sectors through an increase in energy efficiency and resource efficiency. Internationally, success has been achieved by combining standards-setting, financial incentives, support through information, model projects, and advice. The creation of novel processes that allow production to become more carbon-neutral is crucial going forward. A sector-specific approach is also proven to be successful; in particular, large companies and specific companies with high energy consumption have different framework conditions than SMEs, which also account for an important share of energy consumption due to their large number. The following objectives should be prioritized when looking at the NEEAP's specific starting points: • Anchor energy efficiency in industry, commerce, trade, and service sector. • Ensure reduction of energy consumption through appropriate government requirements e.g., for cross-sectorial technologies and crucial branches. • Develop and disseminate suitable business models for energy efficiency measures as well as realistic access to finance. • Provide information and build capacity for guidance. • Accelerate implementation of measures through financial incentives. • Strengthening the (international) competitiveness of industrial enterprises. • Combine energy efficiency strategies with the advantages of renewable measures. 31 Table 15: Overview of energy efficiency measures in the industry sector ID Measure Description This assessment enhances industrial energy efficiency through stakeholder Energy Efficiency engagement, data analysis, and policy evaluation, fostering sector I1 Assessment for Industry competitiveness with tailored projects.

4.2 Residential The residential sector is one of the largest energy consumers in Jordan (accounting for 25% of total energy consumption). Energy is consumed for cooling (especially in warm climates), heating and lighting of buildings as well as for multiple appliances and devices. Some starting points for an energy efficiency strategy relate in particular to: energy standards for new buildings, strategies for economically viable building refurbishment, the procurement of efficient and climate-friendly (refrigerants,) cooling and heating equipment, the increased usage of existing systems (e.g. solar heating for water heating) and (in the medium-term) the development of a climate-neutral strategy for building heating and cooling. Strategies for increasing efficiency in the sector are based on showcase buildings that demonstrate how the large building stock can be improved step by step. On this path, a widespread campaign and a targeted build-up of expertise have a special role to play. Some central goals of an energy efficiency strategy for buildings are: • Develop differentiated energy efficiency strategies in buildings for different climate zones and uses. • Establishing a reliable data basis in the residential sector as the basis for an overall strategy • Define requirements for sustainable buildings in the region. • Define and enforce appropriate standards for new buildings. • Build know-how for various target groups in the chain of action (planners, financial sector, crafts) • Development of advisory infrastructure (building audits, classification of buildings, accompaniment of renovation) • Ensuring the use of the most efficient technology for cooling and heating Private households make up a significant share of total energy consumption, especially as users of buildings and of technical devices in the home. In addition to the technical efficiency of installations and appliances, individual behaviour plays a major role here. In fact, private households are also essential users of the transport infrastructure, if they own cars or use public transportation (which is dealt with in the transport sector). House and flat owners can have a particular influence on energy consumption by optimising the energy efficiency of buildings (in new construction as well as in existing buildings). In this sector, comprehensive information and advice is particularly important to bring about a change in awareness towards energy efficiency and climate action. In addition, considerable savings can be achieved in the short term through low-investment measures (such as measurement and control devices, passive measures for cooling buildings, etc.). The main goals of an efficiency plan for private households are: • Realisation of immediate and low-threshold measures (e.g., controlling heating or cooling, passive cooling measures, use of appliances, etc.) through information and incentives • Replacement of inefficient appliances by financial incentives and providing information (energy label) • Direct use of renewable energy for water heating or cooling 34 Table 17: Overview of energy efficiency measures in the residential sector ID Measure Description This measure evaluates and improves energy efficiency policies in the residential sector. It begins with a detailed assessment of energy use in buildings, considering factors like housing types, demographics, and Energy Efficiency technological advancements. It identifies opportunities for enhanced R1 Assessment for the energy efficiency, aligning with sustainability goals by reducing Residential Sector consumption and carbon emissions. This measure has one subordinated measure as follows: • R1.1 Survey of Energy Consumption in the Residential Sector The measure will collect data on building energy use and emissions, create Energy Efficiency a residential building typology, and set energy efficiency standards.

4.3 Services The service sector differs than the industrial sector regarding its energy consumption and the potential for energy efficiency. The service sector includes large areas such as trade, tourism, the financial sector, private and public administration, the education sector, and the health sector. Here, the focus is on the efficient management of buildings, public infrastructure, and the provision of specific services. In addition to the optimisation of the building envelope and systems technology, also behavioural change can have an impact. Therefore, measures regarding information, consulting, and capacity building as well as the introduction of an energy management and the elaboration of energy-efficient behaviour are of particular importance. The public sector is essential for a successful energy efficiency strategy in society, as other sectors expect the public sector to act as a role model and pioneer. Therefore, the energy efficiency strategy should pay special attention to this sector and implement pilot measures, which should later be transferred to the private sector. Some central starting points in the public sector are the energy optimisation of buildings as well as the design/implementation of everyday services and working conditions (e.g., digitalisation, handling of air conditioning, control of building technology, energy- efficient behaviour at the workplace and in dealing with customers). A plan for energy efficiency in the public sector pursues the following goals in particular: • Exercising the role model function in the energy transition. • Systematic reduction of energy consumption in the public sector: audits, energy management systems, pilot projects, commitment • Strengthening energy efficiency markets (consulting, contracting) through comprehensive measures in the public and private sectors • Realisation of savings potentials through behavioural changes (maintenance, control, temperature, lighting, processes) 36 Table 19: Overview of energy efficiency measures in the services sector ID Measure Description The assessment examines potential energy efficiency gains and obstacles, involving stakeholders and data analysis. It uses cost-benefit analysis to Energy Efficiency inform an Energy Efficiency market preparation plan, promoting S1 Assessment for Service sustainable energy management practices. The plan aims to enhance Sector resource efficiency and resilience in the service sector. This measure has one subordinated measure: • S1.1 Survey of Energy Consumption in the Service Sector The TSEEP adopts a comprehensive approach to enhance energy efficiency in Aqaba's hotels. It begins with detailed energy audit studies for 11 hotels. Tourism Sector Energy The program includes three phases: firstly, the Energy Audit phase, S2 Efficiency Program followed by the Implementation Phase and finally, the Measurement and (TSEEP) Verification (M&V) Phase which employs a third-party to verify energy savings for each hotel, updating the Energy Performance Contracting (EPC) accordingly. The measure aims to create an integrated database to improve energy Public Building Energy efficiency in the public sector. The National Energy Efficiency Building S3 Database Database platform gathers data on buildings, strategies, and consumption, aiding analysis, and targeted renovations. The measure develops Energy Efficiency Refurbishment Roadmaps for public buildings (government offices, schools, hospitals), outlining phases and standards. A Pilot Project implements heating, cooling, insulation, shading, lighting improvements, and user awareness. Another Pilot Project Roadmap for Energy introduces renewable technologies like PV, solar thermal, and geothermal S4 Efficiency in Public systems. The project evaluates experiences for wider application. This Buildings measure has four subordinated measures: • S4.1 Pilot Project for Government Offices: MEMR-Building • S4.2 Energy Audits and Implementation for Public Schools • S4.3 Solar Water Heaters Installation for Public Hospitals • S4.4 Energy Audits and Implementation for Ministries This project aims to promote green building practices, including enhancing The Excellence in Design regulations, raising awareness, educating professionals, and certifying S5 for Greater Efficiencies green buildings. Its goal is to create a supportive environment for (EDGE) sustainability and cost savings in Amman and beyond. MEMR is collaborating with local companies to replace 410,000 traditional Lighting Replacement streetlights with energy-efficient LED units in Jordan's southern and central S6 Program for regions. This three-year project promises significant cost savings, reduced Municipalities energy consumption. Sustainable Workforce The project encourages commercial buildings to appoint energy efficiency Development and S7 or Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) experts, providing financial Facility Management incentives, training, and professional development.

4.4 Transport The transport sector is responsible for almost half (approx. 43 %) of Jordan's final energy consumption. Therefore, a strategy to reduce energy consumption and to achieve the climate goals must place a special focus on this sector. An integrated strategy to reduce energy consumption in transport focuses on the predominant modes of private car transport and freight transport and shows strategies on how transport can be avoided, shifted to other modes (especially public transport) or made more efficient and climate friendly. Therefore, strategies for shifting passenger transport (change of modal split) to buses and trains as well as the introduction of an e-mobility strategy (based on renewable electric energy) are of high importance in the medium term. In freight transport, the shift to rail transport and the development of a climate-friendly transport infrastructure are of particular importance. Strategies to reduce energy consumption should go hand in hand with urban development goals in order to improve the quality of life in cities and reduce existing inconveniences such as traffic congestions. An energy efficiency plan in the transport sector pursues the following goals in particular: • Reduction of CO2 emissions through a consistent and long-term e-mobility strategy and sector coupling with the expansion of renewable energies 38 • Reduction of energy consumption or CO2 emissions through the promotion of vehicles with alternative drives and fuels (battery electric vehicles (BEV), fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV)). • Realisation of savings potentials through efficient behaviour (reduction of individual traffic, organisation of the work environment, efficient tyres, driver training) • Reduction of motorised individual transport through the creation of attractive offers (public transport, cycling, walking). • Strengthening rail transport and shifting freight transport from road to rail • Ensuring the necessary infrastructure for sustainable transport (rail, metro/tram, buses, charging and refuelling infrastructure for alternative fuels). Table 21: Overview of energy efficiency measures in the transport sector ID Measure Description This measure assesses fuel consumption, vehicle performance, and operations, considering alternative fuels, advanced tech, driver behaviour, policies, and partnerships. Cost-benefit analysis and a monitoring system Energy Efficiency inform an energy-efficient transport roadmap.

By promoting a shift from road and air transport, railways can reduce energy-intensive modes of travel and complement public transport in urban areas. Overall, the project is expected to save 2848 GWh in 2030 as the first year of operation.

4.5 Water and agriculture The water and agriculture sectors play an important role in Jordan’s energy consumption accounting for approximately 15% of the total final energy consumption. Large geographic distances between water production and the consumers, along with challenging hydrogeological conditions and topography, contribute to the high energy consumption of the water sector. The water sector has a strong interest in implementing Energy Efficiency measures and reducing Non-Revenue-Water (NRW). The recently updated National Water Strategy 2023-2040 addresses several goals for the water sector, the Water-Energy-Food-Ecosystem (WEFE) NEXUS and irrigated agriculture. In addition to reducing specific water consumption and minimizing losses during transport, the energy efficiency of pump technology plays a special role. Thanks to the significant potential for technical optimization in pumps, efficient pumps can quickly lead to cost savings in water supply. Key objectives of an energy efficiency strategy in the water sector include: • Improve energy efficiency in all water sector operations through better energy management practices in order to lower costs and improve financial performance of the sector. • Consideration of the potentials of renewable energy and energy efficiency in technical retrofitting. • Realisation of energy savings in the further development of water supply in large-scale plants as well as decentralised in the local water supply. • Energy optimisation of the wastewater sector through efficient plants and in particular pumps as well as through the use of methane emissions for energy supply • Institutionalise effective management of the water-energy-food- ecosystem (WEFE) nexus to drive synergies, leverage investments, develop nexus projects, ensure coherent policies and regulations, and conduct complementary planning across these sectors. • Coordinate closely with the ministry of agriculture to manage irrigation water allocations, policy, and incentives—to ensure that cross-sectoral policies and practices also reflect the reality of climate change impacts on water supplies. 42 Table 23: Overview of energy efficiency measures in the water sector ID Measure Description The measure includes projects focusing in enhancing energy management and identifying energy efficiency opportunities through comprehensive energy audits and implementation.

Monitoring of the third NEEAP Monitoring holds significant importance for overseeing the National Energy Efficiency Action Plan (NEEAP) in Jordan. It plays an essential role in ensuring the success of the developed energy efficiency measures. The primary purpose is to evaluate the progress made towards achieving the defined NEEAP objectives and measures. The monitoring approach in this third NEEAP sets it apart from the first and second NEEAPs, as those earlier plans did not include a dedicated focus on monitoring. The aim is to maintain a comprehensive understanding of Jordan’s accomplishments in achieving energy efficiency objectives and measures. General monitoring methods can be implemented to ensure an effective approach: Data Collection and Reporting The responsible body for steering the NEEAP and the associated monitoring process is the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (MEMR), which oversees the regulation and implementation of policies applicable to energy consumption and energy efficiency. MEMR is responsible for monitoring the progress status of each measure by collecting information and data regarding different energy efficiency measures. The ministry is also responsible for developing and publishing progress reports and providing a final monitoring report by the end of the NEEAP period. Measures in the third NEEAP will be monitored and analysed regarding the progress of implementation, developed work plans, milestones, as well as their impact. The progress reports will offer comprehensive comparisons between the current state and the outcomes for each specific measure. Energy Efficiency Unit within MEMR To ensure the successful monitoring of the third NEEAP, the establishment of an energy efficiency unit within MEMR is essential. This unit would play a crucial role in accurately reviewing the collected data and assessing its accuracy. Moreover, it is crucial for this unit to execute coordination between sectors, consult and agree on the progress report of the NEEAP, to discuss and decide on strategic issues in energy efficiency policy and cooperation, and propose adjustments to the plan. By integrating the monitoring process, this approach enhances transparency, accountability, and coherence, thus strengthening the effectiveness of the NEEAP's implementation. Energy Systems Performance Documentation Regular assessments and thorough documentation play a significant role in enhancing the monitoring process of the third NEEAP. By conducting regular energy audits for industrial facilities, commercial buildings, and public institutions, potential opportunities for energy savings are identified. These assessments closely examine how energy is used and where improvements can be made. The results are then used to guide decisions on how to make energy use more efficient. Collaborations and Partnerships Collaborations and partnerships are critical in enhancing the effectiveness of the monitoring process of the third NEEAP. The collection of information and data related to the implemented measures necessitates a collaboration and cooperative efforts with sectoral stakeholders responsible for these energy efficiency objectives. These stakeholders bear the responsibility of accurately gathering, processing, evaluating, and subsequently providing MEMR with official data of NEEAP’s progress and objectives. This collaborative approach not only ensures the accuracy and reliability of the collected data but also fosters a sense of shared ownership in the monitoring process. By engaging sectoral experts and stakeholders, valuable insights and feedback can be incorporated to the third NEEAP, facilitating a comprehensive understanding of the plan’s progress and impact. 49 List of references AMCE.
