USAID Energy Sector Capacity Building - ESCB
Share
USAID funded project working to create a viable environment for energy efficiency in Jordan. Jordan’s energy security is precariously at risk.
Its energy sector faces higher global oil and gas prices, increased domestic demand, and a changing regional political environment that can no longer subsidize the country’s near-total reliance on energy imports, which in 2012 cost nearly 24% of Jordan’s GDP.

General information
ESCB is a four-year USAID funded project, which started in 2013. We work with Jordanian energy sector partners to cultivate effective policies and decision-making in the energy sector; and to build sustainable institutional and organizational capacity to increase the adoption of energy efficiency technologies and practices.
We place a high priority on addressing gender issues in the energy sector, including promotion of women in energy-related careers.
ESCB applies a broad, adaptable approach to meet the energy sector's evolving needs, including:
1. Successful development and adoption of a utilities incentive mechanism to promote energy efficiency, including a robust monitoring, evaluation, and validation system;
2. Increased institutional capacity of the Jordanian energy sector partners including the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, Electricity Regulatory Commission, and electricity production, distribution, and transmission companies;
3. Strengthened presence, capacity and regulation of energy services companies through market research, business development services, accreditation of those companies, and the creation of an energy services association; and
4. Flexible response mechanism for emergent energy sector needs and opportunities on a demand-driven basis.
