Abstract
Creation of a Smart Grid provides utilities and their customers with a significant improvement in power reliability and services; to date, Smart Grid in Jordan is still in infant stage. In this paper we will present the Smart grid policy and law in Jordan by studying Tafila smart grid as a case study. One can see variety of problems and challenges in the field of Smart Grid. Hence, this paper can provide a help to find a new research point in this field. Also in this paper we try to recommend develop implementation strategy that will help to generate appropriate smart grid & Energy Efficiency Law.
