The increase in energy consumption and energy bills in Jordan have been escalating rapidly, which requires a special concern as a large percent of the energy is imported. The need for the reducing peak demand of the distribution network is essential to decrease the overall electricity generation cost. This study was aimed at presenting a model for a home that manages its energy consumption, and the maximum savings possible if the load shifting to off-peak times was applied. It also introduced a tariff that is more concerned in time of use rather than consumption only. The power consumption profile is collected for a sample house. The profile for a week was registered and graphed. The pricing suggested was calculated per day. Moreover, some samples applied worldwide were discussed to find a suitable model. It was found that a saving rate of 16% is achievable if the time of use charge is applied. Additionally, a peak load reduction of 3.5 kWH average per day (in the peak hours) is possible.

The aim of this paper is to specify people’s awareness, acceptance and needs for the Renewable Energy (RE) and Energy efficiency (EE) innovations in Jordan. This took place after having studied the most influential innovations on RE and EE in Germany, Spain and Turkey. Then, two suitable innovations were selected; in particular, PV mobile charger and sodium light unit regulator. Our research was based on the analysis of qualitative interviews and a questionnaire. The results showed that (53%) are willing to buy PV mobile charger depending on its life cycle and efficiency even if it is expensive. About (89%) of respondents realized that it is important to develop and support the EE innovative solution of using sodium regulator in lighting the streets by the municipalities, and about (49%) would like to take practical steps for the RE and EE developments if they could. The results also show that all respondents are willing to pay extra cost to obtain green energy; (20%) want the cheapest possible solution in this regard. The study results indicate that Jordanian people do expect more from the public sector about renewable energy production; whereas a large percentage (63%) thinks that public sector should take the first step towards renewable energy production. The acceptance and awareness of the society on RE and EE innovations is one of the most important drivers towards the transition to RE and EE in Jordan.
