This study examined the effect of energy consumption represented by electric and oil energy on economic growth in Jordan for the period of time (1992-2016).

The study concluded that the energy consumption in general has a statistically significant effect on economic growth in Jordan, and the study found that the consumption of electric power has a positive and statistically significant impact on economic growth in Jordan, i.e., the increase in consumption of electric power by 1% leads to an increase in economic growth by 1.870686% .The results also showed that oil consumption has a positive and statistically significant impact on the economic growth in Jordan, where the increase of 1% of oil consumption leads to an increase in economic growth by 1.969848%.
