Executive Summary Despite billions of dollars of energy investment, more people today are without electricity than there were two decades ago: over 1.6 billion people in developing countries lack modern energy and the economic and social benefits it offers, and many more are underserved. The International Energy Agency projects that, by 2030, these numbers will only grow under business-as-usual scenarios.

Yet technologies exist to meet these needs in an environmentally sustainable, cost-effective manner that builds on locally available energy resources and institutions. Through the Clean Energy Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity Contract for Non-Critical Priority Countries (Clean Energy IDIQ for Non-CPCs), the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) seeks to accelerate the transition to low-carbon energy sources and reduce energy poverty throughout the developing world.

Established in 2002, the Energy and Security Group (ESG), a small, woman-owned professional services company, serves U.S. government, industry, finance, and international development agency clients in the U.S. and overseas. ESG is pleased to be selected as one of the small business contractors. ESG brings three main assets to USAID as prime contractor for the Clean Energy IDIQ:

1. The technical leadership of a prime contractor that has been promoting increased access to clean energy since 2002 and that is headed by an authority in the field, ESG President Judy Siegel, with the support of Senior Technical Advisor, Matthew Mendis. Each of these individuals brings over 30 years experience in all aspects of clean energy technologies, particularly renewable energy and energy efficiency.

2. A team of subcontractors that combined, provide technical depth across all of the themes and activities in the IDIQ contract.

3. The management experience and resources to implement USAID programs effectively in virtually any developing country—conflict, post-conflict, and post-natural-disaster environments.

ENERGY AND SECURITY GROUP: SMALL IN SIZE, BIG IN STATURE. ESG offers the experience, capabilities, and capacity to manage the Clean Energy IDIQ. The firm’s technical leadership in clean energy is demonstrated by its ability to assemble a team of the top organizations in the field.

ESG’s mission is to expand the use of clean energy technologies and practices to enhance economic performance, promote energy security, improve quality of life, and advance resource sustainability, with a focus on developing countries. The firm’s work spans clean energy policy development, market development, finance facilitation, modeling and analysis, training and capacity building, and communications, outreach, and public awareness.

ESG has conducted 200 clean energy projects worldwide for clients at USAID and other U.S. Government agencies (including the US Department of Energy, US Department of State, Commerce Department, Environmental Protection Agency, and US Department of Defense), the World Bank and other multilateral development institutions, regional development organizations, nongovernmental organizations, and private firms. Virtually 100 percent of ESG’s clients have returned for repeat work. Among the projects for which ESG is best known are the initial design, development, and implementation of the Global Village Energy Partnership (USAID was one of the original sponsors of GVEP) and support for the World Bank Lighting Africa program to provide 250 million Africans with improved lighting by 2030.

ESG Clean Energy IDIQ Manager, Judy Siegel, with representatives of the Liberia Ministry of Mines, Lands, and Energy and the Rural and Renewable Energy Agency at the Financial, Planning, and Budget Training Course supported by USAID under the Liberia Energy Sector Support Project (LESSP).

� Training Resources Group (TRG) provides expertise in training methodologies, institutional capacity building, and facilitation.

� Sheladia assists in developing activity designs through front-end feasibility study expertise and in implementing projects through local partners.

� With Greengate LLC, the ESG Team has especially strong capabilities in financial analysis and investment mobilization—including the ability to offer debt and equity capital and carbon finance for investments in clean energy projects.

� The United States Energy Association (USEA) provides access to the broad U.S. energy community and a distinctive peer-to-peer capacity-building approach.

� The Regulatory Assistance Project makes available advisory services in energy sector regulatory reform from leading practitioners.

� NRECA International, Ltd. (NRECA) has developed and implemented many of the most successful rural electrification programs in developing countries worldwide.

Finally, resource partner 3Tier provides resource assessments and geographic information system (GIS) mapping for solar, wind, and hydrocarbon technologies. Nexant, Inc., a global leader in technological, commercial, and economic aspects of energy efficiency, demand-side management (DSM) incentives, capacity building, and energy service company (ESCO) development is available to support the ESG Team on specific task orders.

OUR PROPOSED TECHNICAL APPROACH: IMPLEMENTATION FOR RESULTS. The ESG Team’s approach recognizes that the resolution of any clean energy development issue will have five dimensions: the market; policies and the enabling environment; finance; institutions (governmental, nongovernmental, private); and public awareness. Each task order must therefore consider all five dimensions, regardless of the task order’s focal point. Recognizing the importance of financial viability to sustainability, our approach emphasizes attention to clean energy project financing. In general, for promoting a low-carbon development trajectory, we consider the principal challenges to be practical, not theoretical: how to foster sectoral reform and increase electricity access in a way that is transparent, free from political favoritism, broadly acceptable to the general public, and potentially attractive to investors.

The ESG Team offers USAID proven technical assistance and thought-leadership for the provision of improved, accelerated clean energy services in non-CPC countries worldwide. To give USAID the full breadth and depth of coverage needed under this IDIQ, members of the ESG Team have been selected for their complementary skills, technical excellence, and ability to contribute to Task Order requests.

Team Introduction As highlighted in the table on the next page, our team offers technical excellence in a range of thematic and activity areas—and has distinctive technical capabilities that may not be available to USAID through other holders of the Clean Energy IDIQ. We are prepared to bid in response to set aside or unrestricted task orders.

Management Experience ASSEMBLING, DEPLOYING, AND SUPPORTING

TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE TEAMS. As the prime contractor, ESG is responsible for meeting all IDIQ contract objectives and performance requirements and will be the focal point for USAID contact. We will marshal appropriate resources for each IDIQ contract, providing one-stop project support to the Bureau for Economic Growth, Education, and the Environment (E3) and USAID bureaus and missions. ESG Team’s established relationships will allow for easy management and real intellectual collaboration.

ESG implements task orders using integrated project teams including personnel from any or all team members. While each consortium member has a technical focus, all subcontractors will be able to provide candidates for positions; the best in terms of skills and expertise will get the role.

ESG takes advantage of its in-house recruitment resources, consultant rosters, and networks to

meet short- and long-term technical assistance requirements, as well as drawing on the capabilities of its team members in identifying appropriate candidates for staffing USAID requirements. For example, the combined staff resources of our larger subcontractors—DAI, Black & Veatch, NRECA, and Navigant—bring access to more than 60,000 specialists in a variety of disciplines related to the IDIQ contract: project management, energy sector restructuring, energy markets, regulatory analysis, energy efficiency and demand-side management, renewable energy, SME development, utility management, legal advice, financial analysis, engineering, environmental analysis, gender advancement, and more.

ESG works with our partners to ensure that selected team members are deployed in a timely manner and with all necessary support. This will be facilitated by immediate access to team members’ permanent in-country offices. ABILITY TO BUILD HOST-COUNTRY CAPACITY. ESG recognizes that success rests on building local capacity so that Team results continue long after the project offices close. To the extent practical, we will leverage local consultants for short-term and long-term assistance whenever possible. ESG Team offices worldwide allow us to identify local talent quickly and maintain relationships with regional experts.

ESG Team members have substantial experience in building capacity in developing countries. We use a range of human and institutional capacity-building tools and techniques, such as mentoring programs, peer-to-peer collaborations, workshops, conferences, site visits, study tours, e-learning courses or self-directed learning modules, and train-the-trainer programs. Approaches will vary depending on the particular capacity need, the number of participants, and the budget.
