81312941-Technical support for the GIZ Energy Programme Indonesia/ASEAN

GIZ, through the GIZ Energy Programme Indonesia/ASEAN, turns identified priorities of the Indonesian energy transition into practice by offering technical support and advisory services - also beyond Indonesia in Asia. This entails the rapid mobilisation of cutting-edge advisory services supplied by the contractor through the deployment of dedicated key experts working together with pools of short-term experts. The GIZ Energy Programme Indonesia/ASEAN therefore seeks a contractor to provide technical support and support assignments on the Work Packages outlined below, and contribute to the activities of the GIZ Energy Programme Indonesia/ASEAN. The Work Packages (WPs) below outline the breadth of expertise that GIZ Energy Programme Indonesia/ASEAN expects it might need to request, but the details of specific assignments or optional WPs will be further defined in formal Requests for Service. Specifically, the contractor shall support the GIZ Energy Programme Indonesia/ASEAN in successfully implementing concrete measures in the areas of power system transformation, sustainable energy finance, industry and built environment decarbonisation, island energy solutions and just energy transition, which are important inputs towards fulfilling the overall programme objective and indicators. Currently, GIZ Energy Programme Indonesia/ASEAN is commissioned to jointly implement projects with the Indonesian Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (MEMR), Ministry of Finance (MoF), Ministry of National Development Planning (Bappenas), and state utility company PLN.
