Fuel prices for subscribers with renewable energy systems amended

AMMAN — The Energy and Minerals Regulatory Commission (EMRC) on May 31, decided to amend the fuel price difference on electricity subscribers who have renewable energy systems to cover their own consumption from 17 to 11 fils for each kilowatt per hour, an EMRC study revealed on Wednesday.

EMRC said that the study aims at organising the sector and adopting fair and balanced criteria for interests of consumers, investors and licensed sides to use such systems, according to an EMRC statement.

On June 21, the commission decided to apply the fuel price difference on subscribers who possess renewable energy systems for generating electricity to cover their own needs, based on the net electric power consumption, which represents the difference between received and sent power with the grid as of July 1.
