The following is a list of fossil-fuel power stations in Jordan.
All power plants are connected to the Arab Gas Pipeline (except Risha), and receive natural gas by purchasing it from the Jordanian National Electric Power Company (NEPCO).
One of the country's power plants operates on locally mined oil shale, the 470 MW Attarat Power Plant, the second largest of its kind in the world.
