The Kingdom of Jordan is undergoing a dual transformation in energy and transport: in just a decade, renewable energy capacity, primarily solar and wind, has expanded to cover more than 27% of electricity generation.
This green shift is mirrored on the roads, where electric vehicles (EV) now make up around 50% of new car registrations, distinguishing Jordan as one of the fastest growing EV markets in the Near and Middle-East region.
Although this transition drives decarbonisation and diversifies the energy mix, it places new demands on electricity grid flexibility and security. Properly integrated, and with the right enabling conditions, EVs can serve as vital grid assets, contributing to grid stability, peak load management, delivering of ancillary services, thereby strengthening the financial sustainability of the power sector.
To address these emerging challenges and opportunities, Veolia's Engineering & Consulting is currently leading a strategic study for the Kingdom of Jordan and the European Union in Jordan to assess the potential of EVs to act as mobile energy storage assets.
Under this assignment, our team is:
- identifying the most relevant EV-based energy storage options for Jordan;
- developing a roadmap and priority action plan, including vehicle-to-grid (V2G) and second-life EV batteries covering technical, regulatory, financial, economic, environmental and social dimensions;
- engaging with key stakeholders to translate findings into actionable implementation scenarios and policy recommendations.
We look forward to delivering practical, scalable solutions that facilitate greater renewable energy integration while unlocking the flexibility of e-mobility in Jordan.
