Jordan to Double Amount of Electricity Exported to Palestinians in West Bank
(Jordan Times) Batool Ghaith - Jordanian Minister of Energy Saleh Al Kharabsheh said Monday that Jordan will raise the quantity of electricity exported to Palestinians in the West Bank from 40MW to 80MW as of July. Jordan began supplying 40 megawatts of electricity to the city of Jericho and the Jordan Valley beginning in 2008. The Al Rama power station will generate twice the amount of electricity for Jericho, and to expand later to Jerusalem, Ramallah and more, reducing dependence on Israel for energy.
