The Southeast Asia Energy Transition Partnership (ETP) brings together governments and philanthropies to work with partner countries in the region to accelerate the energy transition. ETP supports a transition towards modern energy systems that can simultaneously ensure economic growth, energy security, and environmental sustainability. To contribute to the achievement of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Climate Agreement goals, ETP works in Southeast Asia, with a focus on three priority countries, namely Indonesia, the Philippines, and Vietnam. ETP’s strategy is built around four inter-related pillars of strategic engagement that are squarely aligned to address the barriers to the energy transition. These are (i) policy alignment with climate commitments, (ii) de-risking energy efficiency and renewable energy investments, (iii) extending smart grids, and (iv) expanding knowledge and awareness building.

Hosted by UNOPS Southeast Asia and the Pacific Multi Country Office (henceforth will be referred to as EAPMCO), ETP has significantly grown these past few years, with several new technical assistance projects signed recently. In support of this growing operations need, UNOPS is seeking to establish Long Term Agreements (LTAs) with multi-disciplinary consultancy firms for the provision of technical and strategic sustainable energy support services to cover mainly the Philippines, Vietnam, and Indonesia where ETP operates.

The nature of ETP works requires ETP to respond quickly to support its projects and to successfully deliver, it needs to partner with companies that have the high technical expertise as well as familiarity with situations in countries where ETP operates. The establishment of the Long Term Agreements is expected to facilitate this.
