Study on Smart Grid Options in Jordan (World Bank)
VIS is proudly teaming up with Tetra Tech for the implementation the World Bank financed “Study on Smart Grid Options in Jordan”. The study aims to support the Government of Jordan towards the development of a new smart grid Strategy. The study demands technical and economic analyses of smart grid technologies, advice and prioritization of the different action areas, and review and update of the legal/ regulatory framework necessary for the materialization of the strategy.
VIS will focus on two main aspects of the study; one on the necessary cost / benefit analysis of different smart grid options by weighing the costs against the monetized benefits (quantifiable and intangible) and two on the issue of cybersecurity and data management strategy of the smart grid technology to be employed in Jordan’s networks.

Study on the identification of barriers preventing prosumers being active in energy markets across the EU member states (ACER)
VIS along with Grant Thornton are excited to have won a contract by ACER (The European Union Agency for the Cooperation of Energy Regulators) to execute a study that analyses regulatory barriers towards an ever-increasing electricity prosumerism landscape in the European Union. The activities, services and solutions that can be driven by prosumers are not fully explored yet and constitute a new complex element in the overall electricity market map. Under this context we will map out the regulatory regime with respect to prosumers, its application in the different 27 EU Member States, and will identify regulatory barriers towards the proliferation of prosumers. Based on this analysis, recommendations addressing regulatory barriers will be drafted.
