For many local companies in developing and emerging markets, energy has become a key business risk: rising and volatile prices, unstable grid supply, and growing dependency on international fuel markets affect your production costs and planning security. At the same time, customers and export markets increasingly expect transparency on sustainability and carbon performance.

This is where the Project Development Programme (PDP) comes in. Implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, the PDP team supports you free of cost in addressing these challenges by developing climate-friendly energy solutions based on your specific needs.

The focus is on solutions that reduce costs, are technically feasible, and adapted to your local operating conditions. PDP works with companies that want to stabilise their energy supply, improve long-term cost predictability, and strengthen their position in domestic and international markets. To do so, your concrete operational energy needs are translated into implementable investment project concepts.

A win–win approach: In this process, you gain access to proven, state-of-the-art technologies and services and to practical, future-oriented energy solutions tailored to your operational needs. At the same time, PDP facilitates collaboration with experienced technology and service providers from Germany, based on clearly defined project requirements. This dual engagement with the private sector creates shared value for local economic development, international business cooperation, and climate change mitigation.

The Project Development Programme is implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH.
