The household sector accounts for 20.9% of primary energy use in Jordan. Increase in energy-based living standards and more efficient energy use are major opposing trends in Jordan that affect household energy consumption. Governmental policies to influence household energy consumption are often contradictory and have brought mixed results. Ministry Of Energy has completed two cycles of surveys for household energy in the years 2001, 2004; on the other hand. The December 2010 update survey has been carried out in Mutah University and it is the latest update for those previous surveys, the result and conclusions of which are presented in this paper. Wood, LPG, electric heater and Kerosene are used extensively in most of the households. While the percentage of the households using solar waterheaters was 11%. The energy policy analysis reveals the need for government intervention to promote solar water-heaters as well as regarding the unsatisfied heating demand.
