Amman, Jordan: Jordanian National Electric Power Company's Director General Sufian Al-Batayneh said Jordan's power network is functioning safely and sustainably on April, 2, 2026, stressing that there are no indications of disruptions to electricity supply.

Speaking to Jordan News Agency (Petra), Al-Batayneh noted that fuel supply chains required for electricity generation are operating normally, with all power plants running as scheduled. Transmission networks and substations across the country are fully operational, ensuring uninterrupted delivery of electricity.

He said the system is supported by a diversified energy mix that includes liquefied natural gas and conventional fuels such as diesel, enhancing flexibility and resilience in supply.

Gas deliveries, he added, continue without interruption, supported by the regasification vessel operating at Aqaba Port, alongside regular LNG shipments scheduled in line with operational plans to guarantee continuous power generation.

He also pointed to ongoing coordination with Egypt and Iraq to secure gas and fuel supplies, as part of broader efforts to strengthen energy security and ensure supply continuity.
