Tenders are invited for Consulting Services to West Papua Renewable Energy Assessment under the RE-ACT Project, Indonesia (2026) RE-ACT works with the Government of Indonesia (GOI) to address policy hurdles and create an enabling environment for private investment in renewable energy, ultimately supporting more ambitious Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). Since its inception, RE-ACT has supported regional governments, including West Papua, in developing their energy plans. In its third year (2024), RE-ACT successfully assisted in formulating the West Papua Regional Energy Planning (RUED Rencana Umum Energi Daerah), which was formally issued through West Papua Regional Regulation No. 2/2024 in January 2024. West Papua energy planning applies Long-Range Energy Alternatives Planning System (LEAP) modelling tools to analyze energy demand and supply projection in West Papua from the baseline year 2022 to 2050. The West Papua RUED document outlines the current energy conditions in West Papua and projects future energy trends based on socio-economic growth, primary energy potential, and other key variables. It aligns with national goals for renewable energy, energy transition, and net-zero emissions while emphasizing green growth and community development, while phasing out the existing diesel power plant. This document projects that the contribution of renewable energy to West Papuas primary energy mix will be 7% in 2030 and 19% in 2050. These figures are significantly below the targets set in the National Energy Policy (KEN Kebijakan Energi Nasional), which aims for a 19-21% share of renewable energy by 2025 and 38-41% by 2050. West Papuas energy planning focuses on increasing natural gas utilization to replace coal and diesel, leveraging the regions high natural gas potential in the Bintuni Bay area. However, the electricity mix targets a higher renewable energy share, with goals of 10% by 2030 and 34% by 2050 with solar energy utilization of 20 MW and 150 MW respectively. This document also outlines several policy directions to achieve West Papuas energy goals, including energy supply for local demand, the utilization of new and renewable energy, energy conservation and diversification, environmental impact management, energy pricing, subsidies and incentives, and energy management capacity. As part of the policy direction on new and renewable energy utilization, increasing the use of solar energy for electricity generation has been a top priority given the significant indicative solar resources and the proven use of solar PV technology to provide electricity in off-grid and remote areas. To scale up solar energy development, West Papua plans to formulate regulations on solar energy utilization. Consequently, studies and pilot projects are needed to guide policy direction for solar energy expansion in the region. Since the development of RUED involves several planning documentsincluding medium- and long-term regional planning, land-use planning, provincial industrial planning, and othersit is important to align these with West Papuas energy goals, particularly in support of industrial sector development. Several areas in West Papua have been prioritized for industrial growth. Expanding energy access through renewable sources such as solar and wind could support socio-economic development in these areas. To this end, GGGI is supporting the Government of Indonesia (GOI) in assessing the technical and financial feasibility of integrating solar energy into selected load points in West Papua Province, focusing on ground-mounted PV systems, primarily on-grid to attract investment, while remaining open to off-grid assessments as well. Ultimately, the study aims to serve as a reference for identifying and selecting suitable locations for solar energy projects and its ability to attract investment ASSIGNMENT OBJECTIVE: Based on this, GGGI is seeking to engage the services of a Consulting Firm possessing expertise in renewable energy engineering, consulting, project management, and renewable energy investment. This work will mainly focus on renewable energy development assessment, including data gathering, analysis, evaluation and coordination with the Government stakeholders as RE-ACTs partners, therefore Consultant with expertise in providing such services for renewable energy projects is preferred, particularly projects in Indonesia. It is to be noted that documenting the whole process of development material and all research leading up to the final materials is a must. Collaboration with key stakeholders and adherence to the outlined deliverables are essential for the success of the project. Since the work will be undertaken in close cooperation with Bappenas, West Papua Regional Government, GGGI and other partners, the Consultants flexibility and a shared vision for the project outcome are essential. The Consultant shall report to the GGGI RE-ACT Project Manager and where applicable cooperation with other partners is required.
