81321663-Provision of consultancy services for Long-Term Energy Planning and Renewable Energy Grid Integration

GET.transform, is a technical assistance program supporting national and regional partners and institutions in advancing their energy transitions. GET.transform is a component of the GET.pro (Global Energy Transformation Programme), which is a global multi-donor platform and implemented by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH. Three Instruments of GET.Pro are: - GET.invest - mobilises private investments in clean energy by building a pipeline of bankable investment projects. - GET.transform - supports partner governments by developing bankable frameworks for clean energy investment. - The Secretariat for Africa-EU Energy Program - promotes strategic political dialogue between Africa and Europe on energy. Thematic and geographic scope: The implementation structure of GET.transform is organised along the Thematic and Geographic Approach. GET.transform offers structured advisory services on four key transformational topics: 1) Long-Term Energy Planning 2) Renewable Energy Grid Integration 3) On-Grid Regulation and Market Development 4) Off-Grid Regulation and Market Development Long-term energy scenarios (LTES) can strategically inform decision-making and thus lead to the adoption of capacity expansion and investment plans. Technically sound and cost-effective plans help to build the necessary energy-related infrastructure for meeting future needs, to mitigate the risk of stranded assets in fossil technologies, and to raise awareness about the potential of renewable resources. LTES can further support the development of green recovery policies, making them a central tenet of energy and climate policymaking.? The integration of variable renewable energy sources, especially solar photovoltaic (PV) and wind power, calls for transformational changes in the technical planning and operation of power systems. The need for change often goes hand in hand with concerns and challenges related to energy security, particularly early in the deployment
