The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH is an international cooperation enterprise for sustainable development with worldwide operations. Its corporate objective is to improve people's living conditions on a sustainable basis. GIZ has been working in Indonesia since 1975 on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ).
In Indonesia, GIZ is implementing various energy projects under the umbrella of the Energy Transition Cluster. These projects are commissioned by mainly the German government, represented by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK).
As part of the Energy Programme, GIZ works closely with the state-owned electricity company PLN to support power system planning and operations with high shares of renewable energy in Sulawesi and other large islands. The main work towards PLN is channeled under the bilateral project "1,000 Islands - Renewable Energy for Electrification Programme Phase 2" (REEP2) that has been commissioned by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) is implemented between January 2021 and December 2024.
REEP2's aims to support Indonesia to improve the institutional, regulatory and technical conditions for achieving the policy target of 23% of renewable energy in the energy mix in 2025 at the national and regional level. This objective is to be achieved through three areas of intervention, clustered in three outputs:
- Output 1 aims to improve the regulatory framework for promoting decentralized RE by means of adapted or new regulations.
- Output 2 pursues the goal of introducing decentralized RE technologies in PLN-internal planning processes as alternatives to conventional power generation technologies.
- Output 3 aims to promote the expansion of RE by introducing the previously unused concept of load shifting, especially in small island grids, through private sector participation.
REEP2 is implemented jointly with the political partner, the Directorate General for New and Renewable Energies and Energy Conservation (Direktorat Jenderal Energi Baru Terbarukan dan Konservasi Energi, DJ EBTKE) under the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (Kementerian Energi dan Sumber Daya Mineral, KESDM). It further works closely with KESDM's Directorate General for Electricity (Direktorat Jenderal Ketenagalistrikan, DJ Gatrik) as well as the state-owned utility PLN on Output 2: power system planning and operations.
To support power system planning and operation related work under the Energy Transition Cluster, GIZ seeks one (1) motivated and qualified Indonesian candidate for:
