The Council of Ministers in Jordan has approved the reasons for the draft General Electricity Law of 2024, with the aim of enacting a permanent electricity law to replace the existing temporary one. This move seeks to enhance the sector's competitiveness, promote competition, and attract investments, in line with international best practices. The draft law empowers the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources to formulate national energy policy, promotes investment in clean energy projects like green hydrogen, and allows for independent electricity generation and transmission. It also aligns legislation with the Energy and Minerals Regulatory Commission Law No. 8 of 2017. The Council's approval of an MoU to explore copper ores in the Ghor Fifa area signals the government's commitment to fostering growth in the mining sector, positioning Jordan as a regional leader. Additionally, the Council endorsed regulations for nursing homes, the restructuring of the Ministry of Social Development, and operational enhancements for the Economic and Social Council to boost efficiency and align with national priorities.
