Where grid integration meets
engineering practice

A three-day technical workshop bringing together system operators, government officials, industry and academia from across South and South-East Asia — with German and international experts — to exchange practical experience on integrating renewables, storage and e-mobility into the power system.

Admission is free

Registration will be open between Jan – Feb 2027

Integrating renewables

Regional challenges.
International exchange.
Shared practical solutions.

Reasons to attend

This workshop builds directly on that track record: it brings together the region’s system operators, regulators, industry and academia — and connects them with international expertise — to tackle the shared practical challenges of renewable energy, storage and e-mobility grid integration.

Poster-Session im Foyer

Network with peers from across the Asian region

Connect with system operators, regulators, industry leaders and researchers from ASEAN and South Asia who face the same grid integration challenges you do — and who will be sharing their own experience throughout the workshop. Build relationships that extend well beyond the event.

Ingenieure vor einem technischen Plan

Exchange with German and international experts

This is a genuine two-way conversation. European, North American and Australian specialists join the workshop to share their experience — and to learn from the work happening across Asia. Together, regional practitioners and international experts compare approaches, discuss what works, and tackle shared challenges.

Podiumsdiskussion mit Mikrofon

Learn from practical, on-the-ground experience
— from industry and research alike

This is not a lecture series. The format is built around discussion and the exchange of real-world experience, lessons learned and best practices — not theoretical overviews. Industry and university research get a dedicated platform to present findings, compare approaches and learn from each other.

Who should attend?

The workshop is designed for professionals working on the front line of the energy transition in South and South-East Asia.

System operators (TSOs & DSOs)

Keeping the grid stable and balanced — every day, with rising renewables and new demands in real time.

Government officials and regulators

Shaping the rules, targets and frameworks that make the energy transition scale across the region.

Industry representatives

Building and delivering the technology, projects and services that turn integration into reality on the ground.

Academia and researchers

Generating the evidence and testing new approaches that drive better decisions in practice and policy.

Program at a glance

A 3-day structure that moves from high-level strategy to technical depth:

organized by GIZ Indonesia

The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH is Germany’s development agency. GIZ has been active in Indonesia since 1975, with its country office in Jakarta — which also serves as the hub for regional cooperation with the ASEAN Secretariat. This dual national and regional role places GIZ Indonesia in a unique position to convene stakeholders from across South and South-East Asia.

Energy is a core focus of GIZ’s work in Indonesia.

On behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), GIZ supports Indonesia and neighbouring countries in expanding renewable energy, modernising power systems and advancing the decarbonisation of their grids. Through initiatives such as the “Energizing Development” partnership, GIZ has contributed to rural electrification with renewables in Indonesia since 2009.
