Jakarta, 4 November 2024: GIZ Energy Programme Indonesia/ASEAN (GIZ) and TransitionZero, a leading non-profit climate analytics organisation, have announced a strengthened strategic partnership to accelerate Indonesia’s energy transition. This collaboration aims to support the achievement of Indonesia’s ambitious target of increasing the renewable energy mix to 23% by 2025 and realising the decarbonisation of the electricity sector. 

This partnership will focus on several key areas: 

Capacity Building for Energy Studies Centres (ESCs): Through training and access to TransitionZero’s open-source energy modelling tools, ESCs in Indonesia will be equipped with stronger analytical capabilities to design and evaluate effective energy policies. 

Knowledge Exchange and Best Practice Sharing: GIZ and TZ will share knowledge and experience in energy modelling, transition planning, and sustainable energy policies. 

Development of Energy Transition Scenarios: Together, GIZ and TZ will develop realistic and ambitious energy transition scenarios for Indonesia, considering the specific conditions of regions and sectors.

Bangkok: Electricity bills are likely to decline during the last four months of this year, with the power tariff expected to reach B4.30 or B4.40 per kilowatt-hour (unit), according to the Energy Policy and Planning Office (Eppo).

The “Clean, Affordable and Secure Energy for Southeast Asia” (CASE) project, funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK), collaborated with Vietnam Electricity (EVN) and the Hoan Kiem District People’s Committee to co-organize the awareness-raising event “Clean Energy – Green Earth” in the pedestrian zone around Hoan Kiem Lake. 

The Vietnam Low Emission Energy Programme II (V-LEEP II), which is worth US$36 million and funded by the US Agency for International Development (USAID), was kicked off in Hà Nội late last week.  

The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and Vietnam’s Ministry of Industry and Trade (MOIT) marked the completion of the five-year USAID Vietnam Low Emission Energy Program (V-LEEP) today. Through V-LEEP, MOIT and USAID worked together to enhance Vietnam’s capacity in developing long-term energy strategies, mobilize private investments for renewable energy, and improve compliance of industrial energy efficiency.
