These measures describe the programme as a whole, separately from the newly launched southern phase. The report did not state the exact share of the 188 buildings represented by the 18 southern sites, the capacity at each building or the investment cost of this phase.","The agency said the nationwide programme is expected to save about JD550,000 a year in electricity costs and reduce carbon-dioxide emissions by about 3,838 tons a year.

They refer to the programme across 104 municipalities and should not be presented as the expected result for only the 18 southern buildings. The report does not give a start year for the estimates or describe the calculation method.","The programme also plans to train more than 550 municipal staff through two training packages. Petra said the training is intended to help staff operate and manage the systems. “More than 550” is a lower bound, not an exact count of graduates. Because the training target applies to the overall programme, the report does not support calculating how many people will train in the southern phase or estimating a separate employment effect.","Ministry representatives said installations in the earlier northern phase helped reduce operating costs and electricity bills. The report, however, provides no comparison period, billing data or percentage saving. The comment is therefore a qualitative description of the earlier phase.
