On Tuesday evening, the electric load rose to 3,700 megawatts, the highest during the current summer, while the morning load reached 3,460 megawatts.

The heatwave in the Kingdom of Jordan has caused a marked rise in electric loads.

NEC confirmed its ability to cope with the demand for electric power through the implementation of appropriate operational plans and the readiness of generating plants, transformation plants and the transportation network in general to accommodate the expected demand for electric power during the summer season.

According to the company's Facebook page, the electrical system had a maximum summer load of 3,850 megawatts last August.

The highest summer load for the year is expected to reach 3,900 megawatts if the Kingdom's heat waves continue during the summer.
