Subscribers' delay or failure to pay their utility bills to the Jordanian Electric Power Co. Ltd. (JEPCO) increases the company's financial burdens, as it borrows with interest to cover its dues to the Energy and Mineral Resources Commission (EMRC), said Hassan Abdullah, strategic asset manager at JEPCO, which distributes electricity to end users in the central region, the most inhabited region in the Kingdom. Abdullah said the total amount of subscribers' unpaid dues to JEPCO is up to JOD 220 million, adding that some subscribers have become financially unable to commit to paying their bills, while others are either expatriates or owners of abandoned houses .
