Forecasting the Jordanian Commercial Sector's Electrical Power Demands for the next ten years with and without implementing the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standard

Jordan witnessed a significant expansion in the commercial sector in recent years, leading to increased consumption of electricity, with the ratio of electricity consumption 17% of the total consumption of Jordan in 2012, an increase of 11.7 % from 2011. The expectations for the next year that the needs will reach an amount of 2900 GWh and if the same consumption estimated up by the year 2023, it will be 8600 GWh. It is concluded that the three services most major energy-consuming are the air conditioning, refrigeration systems as well as lighting. The Power consumed in these devices rates 39.5 %, 27.7 % and 18.4% of the total supplied power respectively. Four scenarios were adopted for maximizing the power saving, of which the forth scenario found to be the best, which gives a save of 15704 GWh in electricity consumption and the amount of the bills save will be 1.9938 billion JD.
