GIZ Indonesia for the CASE & SETI's Projects: Sustainable Energy Transition Finance Advisor

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 Program Indonesia/ASEAN. These projects are commissioned by mainly the German government, represented by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), and the International Climate Initiative, represented by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK).

 

CASE (Clean, Affordable, and Secure Energy for Southeast Asia) and SETI (Sustainable Energy Transition in Indonesia) are funded by the International Climate Initiative (IKI) of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK). The program CASE aims to change the narrative of the direction of the energy sector in SEA has substantially shifted towards an evidence-based energy transition (ET), aiming to increase political ambition to comply with the Paris Agreement. Meanwhile, SETI aims to support Indonesia’s energy transition by increasing the share of renewable energy and improving the energy efficiency of key industries as well as in the built environment (sub-national level). SETI aims to support the decarbonization of the energy sector by working with the private sector and on the city level to develop concrete technology solutions while complementing this work through advisory work on sustainable energy policymaking and the strenghtening of (new) financial instruments. Both projects are implemented with a consortium, coordinated and led by GIZ.
