An Ghearmáin – Energy and related services – 10021886-Provision of standardised consultancy services for On- & Off-Grid Regulation and Market Development

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. The 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

On-Grid Regulation and Market Development measures enable power sector market reform allowing for renewable energy participation, increased investment, and promotion of private markets. Power system transformation processes should be supported by a background of technically sound energy planning, a well-functioning governance structure, policy and regulatory framework. The goal is to ensure that electricity resources, including generation, transmission, and distribution systems, are allocated efficiently. In addition, market model mechanisms can be designed and implemented to facilitate a sustainable, secure, competitive and affordable electricity system.

To meet the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 7 target of universal access to affordable, reliable, and modern energy services by 2030, decentralised renewable energy solutions such as off-grid solutions have been proven to be efficient at providing energy access to rural communities. Off-grid solutions can power over 400 million people across Africa and LAC. Off-Grid Regulation and Market Development establishes a framework for public partners to strengthen institutional capacities to accomplish their rural development mandates, as well as market incentives that promote private sector participation and finance for scaling projects.

In addition to its core activities, GET.transform has implemented TA services to other GIZ- programs in Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean, as well as Asia and Europe. GET.transform is therefore offering activities potentially in all countries where GIZ energy portfolio is active by efficiently offering standardised solutions and scaling activities and contributing towards the concept of Vision 100 of GIZ, which serves as a guiding principle for the realignment of the GIZ portfolio for the global energy transition.
