This paper presents the potential of energy saving in water pumping system. A sample of 32 pumping units has been chosen randomly for the current work. Measurements of power quality energy loss were performed, using Fluke 437-ii power quality and energy analyzer. It was found that energy losses due to reactive power is about 22% of the total power energy losses in water pumping units in Jordan. Losses due to reactive power is 14.57 GWh in 2012 with an expected cost of 51.2 GWh during 2015-2017; unless reactive power is cured.
