We are pleased to announce that today the UK PACT (Partnering for Accelerated Climate Transitions) programme has launched a new funding opportunity in Indonesia within the Energy Efficiency sector.
The Indonesia-UK PACT Country Fund is seeking proposals for projects that advance decarbonisation of the industrial and building sector through energy efficiency and electrification in Indonesia, with a specific focus on reducing carbon emissions and supporting the country’s energy transition goals. The deadline for submitting your proposal is 11 December 2024, 18:00 ICT/ 11:00 UTC.
What are we looking for?
These projects should align with national policies and priorities, provide tangible benefits to both the private sector and the broader community, and contribute to the development, implementation, and scaling of energy efficiency and electrification strategies.
The goal is to accelerate the implementation of energy efficiency, energy conservation, fuel switching and electrification projects to lower emissions, and drive sustainable, low-carbon investments across key sectors. Projects should demonstrate a clear link to Indonesia’s National Energy Policy (Kebijakan Energi Nasional - KEN) and the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) while also fostering market transformation and capacity building in targeted sectors.
To achieve this, we have identified three key project themes:
1. Support small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the decarbonisation of energy systems: This project will focus on improving energy efficiency, electrification and integrating renewable energy solutions within small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), particularly in sectors like healthcare, retail, and small to medium-scale industries. Projects under this theme may also include capacity-building efforts, energy audits, and the deployment of energy-efficient technologies.2. Market Transformation through Energy Efficiency and electrification in the Private and Public Sectors:This theme aims to increase energy efficiency adoption in both public building and private companies by supporting initiatives such as the Just Energy Transition Partnership (JETP), the implementation of Energy Savings Performance Contracts (ESPCs), and the creation of bankable projects through an energy efficiency and decarbonisation incubator. These efforts will help demonstrate the financial viability of energy efficiency and decarbonisation investments and attract private sector participation. 3. Regional Capacity Building and Support for National Regulations and Roadmap Development: This theme will focus on expanding regional energy management and decarbonisation programmes and developing tailored energy efficiency and decarbonisation roadmaps for municipalities. It will also provide support for the finalisation and adoption of a national regulation for Energy Service Companies (ESCOs), ensuring an enabling policy environment that encourages the scaling of energy efficiency and electrification projects across regions.
Who can apply?
- All organisations that consider themselves capable of delivering the project activities presented may submit proposals, individually or as part of a consortium;
- These can include think tanks, consultancies (private sector firms), academic institutions, NGOs, professional associations or similar organisations that have the knowledge, skills and experience to deliver technical assistance projects relating to one of the priority sectors outlined;
- Consortia of international and national organisations are encouraged to apply;
- Government agencies and/or departments are not eligible to apply either as a lead organisation, or as a partner organisation within a consortium.
