81317104-Lot 2: Legal Support Service-GET.invest is a European programme that mobilises investment for clean energy in developing countries. We support project developers and companies towards investment readiness and link them with financiers. In collaboration with many stakeholders in the sector, we also provide a range of other services to complement this effort. GET.invest aims to substantially increase the volume and pace of investment, to contribute to building sustainable energy markets, and to thus help meet the twin challenge of sustainable energy and climate change. Since 2022, we power the Team Europe One Stop Shop for Green Energy Investments, an access point for information about and facilitated access to European support and financing instruments for energy projects and companies in Africa. GET.invest is hosted on the multi-donor platform GET.pro, implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, and co-funded by the European Union, Germany, Norway, the Netherlands, Sweden, and Austria. The proposition of GET.invest to a) develop projects to a status of bankability and b) introducing them to financiers and investor frequently requires supplementary advisory in specialised fields of expertise which are out of the scope for the existing access-to-finance advisory facilities. Therefore GET.invest creates two (2) facilities as a complementary support modality to the existing suite of coaching and advisory services of GET.invest Finance Access Advisory. The two respective sublots of this tender are as follows: Project Documentation Development/ PDD: The goal is to provide eligible projects with key investment-grade project documents required to validate the technical and commercial viability of projects, and often generated from studies, assessments and evaluations. Legal Support Services / LSS: The goal is to directly support GET.invest's overarching objective of accelerating clean energy investment by contributing well-structured legal agreements, advice on the legal structure of clean energy deals, and compliance with relevant regulations are essential for mitigating risks and ensuring project/business success In terms of thematic and geographic scope, this service applies to all clean energy market segments under GET.invest mandate (here). Geographically, while GET.invest currently is active mainly in SSA in addition to some activities in the Pacific and Caribbean, the programme is at initial stages of expanding to other regions such as Central and Latin America. "Project Documentation Development" and "Legal Support Service" are often closely correlated and can be complementary to each other or offered independently. The two services can collaborate on certain documents, if need be, provided the roles remain additional and clear.

Decarbonization and Digitization of Power Distribution Networks-Pakistan-Pakistan`s updated Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) as of October 2021 sets a binding greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction target of 15 per cent compared to the 2015 baseline. In the energy domain, the goal is to achieve GHG reduction primarily by increasing the share of renewable energies (RE) from the current 30 per cent (25 per cent hydropower, 5.4 per cent wind, solar and biomass) to 60 per cent by 2030. However, Pakistan" s targets for expanding renewable energies pose numerous technical challenges for transmission and distribution system operators regarding expansion planning. The main areas requiring expertise include developing forecasting methods for RE electricity yields across various locations and ensuring grid connections without compromising grid stability or causing large-scale power outages. The objective of the project is that key players in the power industry have implemented regulatory and digital solutions to facilitate the energy transition. The project aims to address the issue of Decarbonisation at the national planning level, at the organisational level and at the field level. At the national level, the project seeks to support the Government of Pakistan (GoP) in the Integrated Energy Planning (IEP) to develop long term carbon emission free scenario. At the organisational level the project has the objective to strengthen the network integration competencies of specialists and managers, transfer of know-how to digital solutions to reduce grid losses. The project specifically addresses the actors who play a key role in Renewable Energy integration, i.e., the transmission and distribution system operators through in-depth capacity building program. Through the further development of strategic capacities and the introduction of innovative digital solutions for power grid operation and management, the capacity of the power grid operators to actively shape the energy transition will be increased at the organisational level. At the field level, the project takes an implementation-oriented approach and develops scalable digital solutions for distribution grids to overcome energy losses, improve operational efficiencies and enhance control for managing increased RE share in the power network. Regulatory Guidelines: Efforts are underway to support Pakistan's energy sector institutions in adopting regulatory guidelines for implementing renewable energy strategy and enhancing the regulatory framework for integrating a high share of renewable energy in collaboration with key players in the electricity sector. Identification of necessary framework, guidelines, regulations, and subsequent support in formulating them is the major aim of the project. The project supports in formulation of policy instruments. Long Term Energy Planning: The project aims to assist the GoP for the Long- Term Energy Planning for Pakistan which shall provide the guidance and necessary steps to be taken for meeting the demand and supply of energy sector through low carbon intensive fuels. The project cooperates with experts from the Department of Integrated Energy Planning of the Pakistan Planning Commission and provides technical expertise for the calculation of possible energy scenarios. The scenarios depict different time horizons and options. A scenario with a time horizon up to 2050 will be developed to show the relevant actors the consequences of a largely decarbonised electricity market (net zero scenario). Showcasing Digitalisation: The project will demonstrate the technical and financial feasibility of automation and digitalisation measures for distribution grids. It provides technical expertise to develop a concept for a holistic digitalisation concept together with the experts of the distribution system operators, which highlights the technology used and the expected effects on the reduction of grid losses and the increase in efficiency in grid operation. Building Network Integration Capacities: The focus of the project is on strengthening the capacities of transmission and distribution system operators for the integration of variable Renewable Energies. This involves both improving the skills of the experts and equipping them with the necessary digital tools through the institutionalising of the capacity building program. The project aims to develop a methodology for RE-forecasts, as a key element of operational grid operation planning, to be able to forecast the availability of wind and solar energy and to align grid operation accordingly. In addition to the introduction of digital forecasting tools, the methodology also includes recommendations for adapting or optimising dispatching (deployment planning of power plants) for the integration of wind and sun.
