Jordan-Iraq Oil and Power Disrupted
Energy cooperation between Jordan and Iraq has ceased, as Iraqi oil supplies to Jordan have been halted since the beginning of 2026, along with the suspension of electricity supply from Jordan to the Iraqi district of Rawa. The two countries aim to address unresolved issues in order to resume exchanges, focusing on the electric grid connection project, which was planned to increase capacity from the current 40 megawatts to 500 megawatts. The stoppage of oil shipments is attributed to the non-renewal of the export contract and commercial conditions, while negotiations continue regarding the type of crude oil required. Working teams are planning to gradually enhance the electrical exchange capacity, with hope remaining for the full resumption of cooperation despite economic and political challenges.
