Opportunity Summary:

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), through its Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) International Program and administered by the Golden Field Office, issued the funding opportunity announcement (FOA) titled "Accelerating the Deployment of Energy Efficient and Renewable Energy Technologies in Indonesia" (Funding Opportunity Number DE-FOA-0000620). The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning DOE expects to have substantial involvement during the project period rather than simply providing funds with minimal federal engagement. The opportunity was posted on February 2, 2012, later amended (creation date February 29, 2012), and ultimately set to close on May 3, 2012, with an archive date of August 3, 2012. Eligibility is broadly "unrestricted," indicating it is open to a wide range of entity types, subject to any additional clarifications within the full FOA text.

The amendment to the FOA made three practical changes. First, it extended the concept paper deadline to March 19, 2012 at 5:00 pm Eastern Time. Second, it extended the full application deadline to May 3, 2012 at 5:00 pm Eastern Time (replacing the previously listed closing date of April 24, 2012). Third, it added additional requirements under Section VI.B.2 related to special terms and conditions and national policy requirements. DOE noted that the revised portions were highlighted in green in the FOA, and that all other elements of the announcement remained unchanged.

At its core, the FOA aims to accelerate market readiness and adoption of energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies in Indonesia by deploying U.S. technical expertise. Rather than focusing on building physical infrastructure directly, the emphasis is on the kinds of enabling activities that remove market barriers and improve decision-making capacity. The FOA specifically calls out support areas such as strategic and policy planning and analysis, energy market analysis, energy modeling, workforce development, and other forms of technical analysis. The intent is to "prime" Indonesian markets so that clean energy and efficiency solutions can scale more quickly and effectively, supported by stronger planning, better data, improved institutional capability, and a more prepared workforce.

The opportunity also frames clear benefits for the United States. By strengthening conditions for clean energy deployment in a large and fast-growing economy, DOE anticipates potential downstream impacts such as increased exports of U.S. clean energy technologies and professional services. Another stated benefit is learning: the work would generate access to data and insights on what clean energy policies and programs in Indonesia achieve, where they run into challenges, and what lessons can be applied back to U.S. national and subnational policy development. In other words, the program is positioned as both market development abroad and knowledge development that can inform domestic policy discussions.

In terms of funding and scale, DOE anticipated making a single award (Expected Awards: 1) totaling approximately $1.2 million over a period of up to three years. The CFDA listing associated with the FOA is 81.117, described as "Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Information Dissemination, Outreach, Training and Technical Analysis/Assistance," which matches the capacity-building and analytical nature of the activities described. The listing indicates no cost sharing or matching requirement. While the summary fields show zeros for the award ceiling, floor, and estimated total funding, the narrative portion of the FOA states DOE anticipated providing $1.2 million total to one awardee.

For prospective applicants at the time, the process was staged, starting with a concept paper followed by an invitation or pathway to submit a full application by the final deadline. The FOA provided an assistance contact for access issues and administrative questions: Deborah J. Reynolds, Grants Management Specialist, reachable at DOEIndonesiaFOA@go.doe.gov. The full announcement and related materials were hosted through the EERE Exchange site (link provided in the source), which was DOE's platform for application submission and FOA documentation.
