Jordan moved one step closer to a smart power grid with the launch of a series of studies to prepare for the biggest upgrade of the kingdom's electricity infrastructure in over 30 years.
Under an agreement signed April 26 by the U.S. Trade and Development Agency and the Electricity Regulatory Commission, the U.S. government agreed to extend $1.15 million to Jordan to explore implementing smart grids in the three largest electricity distributors in the country.
