Germany and Jordan are committed to create a sustainable, secure and affordable energy supply. Both countries work together to achieve an energy transition domestically as well as on a global scale.
We provide a forum for high-level political dialogue and bring together representatives from industry, finance, and academia to support a broader use of renewable energies and energy efficiency.
Per Capita Electricity Consumption
The per capita electricity consumption speaks of the individual contributions to a country’s energy needs. In both countries the access to electricity is 100%. Germany has the 6th highest electricity consumption in the world, while Jordan ranks 74th. This illustrates how much more electricity is consumed at a personal level in Germany in comparison to Jordan.

Hours of Sunlight
Solar power is one of the most important renewable energy sources. How much exposure a country experiences tells us how much potential there is to engage in energy production through photovoltaics. In Jordan 1218 MW are generated through photovoltaics, equalling 76% of the operating renewable energy projects (2020). In Germany 49.016 MW are generated through photovoltaics, equalling only 19% of the operating renewable energy projects (2019).

Share of Renewable Energy
The current share of renewable energies in the energy mix tells us how far along a country is already with the energy transition. In Germany, renewable sources contributed 51.8% share of electricity generation. In Jordan, renewable sources contributed 29% share of electricity generation.

Population
Both countries play crucial roles in their respective regions. Not least due to its geographic location, Jordan functions as a hub for the Maghreb and Mashreq regions. Germany, located in the very heart of Europe, is the most populous country in the European Union.

"It is time to work together to reach a sustainable energy future, taking into consideration the energy transition, increasing the use of renewable energy and improving the level of energy efficiency.
Support Political Dialogue
The Jordanian-German Energy Partnership is a platform supporting a high-level intergovernmental dialogue on energy matters. We prepare and facilitate high-level meetings. We organize the exchange between relevant institutions in Germany and Jordan.
Advise Decision Makers
Exchanging experiences is key for a successful energy transition globally. To learn from one another is therefore key to the Jordanian-German Energy Partnership. We arrange and accompany expert delegations. We organize workshops and trainings-on-the-job. All for the sake of promoting what is already there: best-practice.
Connect Business and Politics
We build bridges between politics and business, facilitate access to decision-makers and help you make your position being heard in the partnership countries.
Presenting the Energy Transition
The global energy transition will only be successful if everyone actually understands what it is about. We present, explain, and discuss the Energiewende.
With Jordan, we have acquired a valuable partner to implement the global energy transition. We will support the modernization of the Jordanian energy sector.
