Committee Approves JD 930,000 in Rural Electricity Projects for 215 Sites - Jordan News
Committee Approves JD 930,000 in Rural Electricity Projects for 215 Sites The Higher Steering Committee for the Rural Fils has approved the list of homes and locations that will benefit from electricity connection through conventional power networks. The total number reached 215 homes and sites across various regions of the Kingdom, with a total cost of JD 930,000, according to Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Saleh Al-Kharabsheh. اضافة اعلان In a press statement issued on Tuesday, Al-Kharabsheh said the projects target residential clusters and economic sites both inside and outside officially zoned areas. The expansion comes after recent revisions to the criteria governing electricity access through the Rural Fils, allowing wider coverage and stronger support for marginalized populations. Hisham Al-Momani, Director of the Electricity and Rural Electrification Directorate at the Ministry, outlined the details: JD150,000 was allocated for a group of five homes outside zoning boundaries, JD155,000 for another group of three, and JD48,000 to connect individual homes using existing grid infrastructure. Additional funding includes JD 3,000 to help electrify homes of low-income families within organized areas, and JD 47,000 to supply power to livestock, poultry, and fish farms located in poverty pockets, part of the government's efforts to support agricultural production and boost self-reliance. A separate JD 20,000 was set aside to install lighting along roads leading to cemeteries, ensuring safe access for citizens during nighttime burials. The Committee also committed JD 300,000 to productive, industrial, and investment projects in unregulated and economically challenged areas, provided these initiatives create jobs for Jordanians and contribute to local development. Support continues with JD 82,000 directed toward farms with artesian wells, JD 12,000 for cooperative and charitable organizations, and JD 20,000 for a range of government and agricultural initiatives. Over the past ten years, the Rural Fils has also invested JD 49,000 to upgrade transformer stations, helping to improve electricity quality and reduce technical losses in the network. In a move toward sustainable energy, the Committee approved the installation of grid-connected solar systems for 44 homes belonging to low-income families and recipients of National Aid. The solar systems aim to reduce monthly electricity bills and enhance the financial well-being of some of the Kingdom's most vulnerable households. (Petra)
