Restructuring of the Jordanian Utility Sector and its Associated Ghg Emissions: a Future Projection (original) (raw)

As a small, non-oil producing, Middle Eastern country of a young and growing population and rapid urbanization, Jordan, like many countries all over the world, was and is still facing the problem of meeting the rapidly increasing demand of electricity.
