Jordan Electricity Access
Access to electricity as % of population EG.ELC.ACCS.ZS
Jordan's electricity access was 100.06% in 2025, ranked 25th globally. This represents a 0.1% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1990–2025.
Overview
Jordan's electricity access stood at 100.06% in 2025, a rise of +0.06pp from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 100.06% by 2025. Jordan ranked 25th globally.
Jordan’s electricity access has risen steadily over the past 35 years, moving from 96.80 % in 1990 to an all‑time peak of 100.06 % in 2025, the figure that also places the kingdom at rank 25 globally. This modest but consistent improvement reflects continued investments in generation capacity and grid expansion, allowing Jordan to match the coverage levels of peers such as Dominica and Mexico, both recorded at 100.06 % in the same year. The upward trajectory contrasts with the early‑1990s trough, when just under 97 % of the population had reliable electricity, underscoring the effectiveness of policy measures aimed at universal service. While the current level exceeds the technical definition of universal access, marginal gains will depend on integrating renewable sources, enhancing grid resilience, and addressing rural‑area disparities; future progress is likely to hinge on these structural reforms.
