Consultant - Feasibility Study and Design of De-Risking Facility to Decarbonize Humanitarian Operations - Remote

The MERCY CORPS in USA from Americas region had released this tender for Tenders are invited for Consultant - Feasibility Study and Design of De-Risking Facility to Decarbonize Humanitarian Operations - Remote Since the Global Platform for Action on Sustainable Energy in Displacement Settings (GPA) was established in 2018, Mercy Corps has been a very active Steering Committee member, with a focus on strengthening energy access market systems in support of livelihoods and economic opportunities in displacement settings. Currently, Mercy Corps has doubled down on its collaboration with the GPA to provide thought leadership in the decarbonization of humanitarian operations. This effort builds on Mercy Corps’ Enter Energy initiative and on the funding of our own Sustainability Report that lays a roadmap for halving our emissions by 2023. Our first-hand experience informs the collaboration with the GPA in the implementation of the German Foreign Office-funded “Decarbonising Humanitarian Energy Multi-Partner Trust Fund” (DHE) program. Specifically, Mercy Corps is supporting the design of the “De-Risking Facility” component which is “seeking to protect an energy service provider’s capital investment from the standard contractual termination clause”, which is a precondition of all long-term agreements with the United Nations and some NGOs, including power purchase agreements (PPAs) and leasing agreements. A fund that would cover this risk would allow energy service companies to finance, install, and manage renewable energy solutions in a manner that is more cost-effective than presently possible and could support the scale-up of the energy transition by removing the need for humanitarian actors to self-finance through grants from donors. Mercy Corps team members are expected to support all efforts toward accountability, specifically to our stakeholders and to international standards guiding international relief and development work, while actively engaging communities as equal partners in the design, monitoring and evaluation of our field projects. Team members are expected to conduct themselves in a professional manner and respect local laws, customs and MC's policies, procedures, and values at all times and in all in-country venues.
