RURAL AND URBAN ELECTRIFICATION

JEPCO WILL THEN BEGIN A CONSTRUCTION PROGRAM TO PROVIDE ELECTRICAL POWER TO 37 VILLAGES IN THE AMMAN AREA. VILLAGES TARGETED, IN KEEPING WITH THE GOJ 5 YEAR DEVELOPMENT PLAN, HAVE POPULATIONS GREATER THAN 500 AND ARE NOT YET TIED INTO THE NATIONAL POWER GRID. THEY WILL BE LINKED WITH THE JEPCO SYSTEM THROUGH OVERHEAD LINES WHICH WILL SUPPLY, AT COMMERCIAL RATES, SUFFICIENT POWER TO OPERATE TOOLS, APPLIANCES, AND REFRIGERATION DEVICES. VILLAGES IN WHICH HOUSES ARE GENERALLY CONCENTRATED ALONG MAIN STREET WILL BE SERVED WITH THREE PHASE SERVICE FROM 220/380 VOLT, THREE PHASE SECONDARIES, AS IS DONE IN AMMAN. VILLAGES IN WHICH HOUSES ARE SCATTERED WILL RECEIVE SINGLE PHASE SERVICE FROM 220/440 VOLT SINGLE PHASE SECONDARIES. TRANSFORMERS WILL BE LOCATED NEAR GROUPS OF HOUSES, WITH SECONDARIES EXTENDING TO SERVERAL HOUSES. AT ANY TIME IN THE FUTURE, SECONDARY LINES MAY BE EXTENDED, OR THREE PHASES SERVICE MAY BE PROVIDED BY ADDITION OF TRANSFORMERS AND AN ADDITIONAL CONDUCTOR TO DISTRIBUTION PRIMARY AND SECONDARY LINES. ALL CONSTRUCTION WILL BE PERFORMED BY JEPCO AND ITS CONTRACTORS, INCLUDING SYSTEM DESIGN. JEA WILL PROVIDE CONCRETE POWER POLES COMMERCIALLY TO JEPCO. LOAN WILL ALSO FUND PROCUREMENT OF EQUIPMENT AND MATERIALS SO THAT JEPCO CAN EXPAND AND UPGRADE THE AMMAN POWER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM AND UTILIZE THE EXPANDED GENERATION CAPACITY OF THE HUSSEIN POWER STATION. IN ADDITION TO COST OF TRANSFORMERS AND POWER CONTROL DEVICES, LOAN WILL PROVIDE MACHINERYFOR ERECTION OF POLES, LAYING OF CABLE, AND TRANSPORTATION OF CABLE REELS. TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE AND STUDIES WILL ALSO BE SUPPORTED IF JEPCO STAFF LACKS SUFFICIENT EXPERTISE.
