Jordan also not receiving gas supplies from Egypt

Jordan also not receiving gas supplies from Egypt
Dr. Aaron Lerner - IMRA 6 March 2011

In recent days there has been considerable coverage of the failure of Egypt
to renew gas supplies to Israel with much of the coverage implying that this
reflected specifically on Israeli-Egyptian relations.

None of these reports mentioned if Egyptian gas supplies were renewed
already to Jordan.

In fact, as indicated in this item on the website of NEPCO, the Jordanian
National Electric Power Company, Jordan also has yet to have its supply of
gas renewed.

Given that there is absolutely no problem in relations between Jordan and
Egypt there is no reason to attribute the failure to renew gas supplies to
Israel to any possible problem in Israeli-Egyptian relations.

Date of Egyptian Gas Re - Pumping to the Kingdom is Determined Next Sunday.

Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Dr. Khaled Tuqan said Jordan is
expected a formal response from the Egyptian side next Sunday on the date of
re-pumping gas into the Kingdom.

He said in a statement to " AL Doustour" yesterday, saying: "our brothers in
Egypt told us yesterday that it was the finalization of all technical
procedures at the plant were vandalized early last month, and that there are
internal procedures on the resumption of pumping gas."

Meanwhile, losses are estimated at NEPCO has stopped pumping gas and up to
yesterday"s estimated 72 million dinars, an average of 3 million dinars per
day as a result of reliance on the use of heavy fuel and diesel in the
process of generating electric power.

It is noted that Jordan"s imports of natural gas from Egypt under the
agreements between the two countries, through the Arab gas pipeline which
passes through the territory of the Kingdom, where gas is used to generate
about 80 percent of electricity in the Kingdom.
