Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? No Components Table Name Component 1: Construction of a Solar PV Electricity Generation Plant:(Cost $44.90 M) Component 2: Strengthening of the transmission and distribution (T&D) networks:(Cost $11.80 M) Component 3: Institutional strengthening, capacity building, and project implementation support:(Cost $8.30 M) Component 4: Contingent emergency response Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO Moderately Satisfactory Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) Moderately Satisfactory Satisfactory Overall Risk Rating Substantial Substantial Implementation Status and Key Decisions Project has resiliently overcome challenges and is on track to deliver key infrastructure before end of 2023 calendar year. Project implementation progressed faced challenges as containers containing battery energy storage systems and associated equipment were blocked from leaving the Douala port due to delays in provision of tax and customs exoneration letter by the GoCAR. The major component, the 25 MWp solar PV plant with a 25 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) located at Danzi is over 96% completed and works on the SCADA center are also over 90% completed. Studies launched under the project have been duly completed. Globally, the project implementation progress is evaluated over 90% completion with disbursement at 72%. 8/16/2023 Page 1 of 6 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report CAR Emergency Electricity Supply and Access Project (P164885) Risks Systematic Operations Risk-rating Tool Risk Category Rating at Approval Previous Rating Current Rating Political and Governance High Substantial Substantial Macroeconomic High Moderate Moderate Sector Strategies and Policies Substantial Moderate Moderate Technical Design of Project or Program Substantial Moderate Moderate Institutional Capacity for Implementation and High Moderate Moderate Sustainability Fiduciary High Substantial Substantial Environment and Social Moderate Moderate Moderate Stakeholders Moderate Moderate Moderate Other High High High Overall High Substantial Substantial Results PDO Indicators by Objectives / Outcomes Increase electricity supply IN01322504 ►Annual electricity generation dispatched from solar energy (Gigawatt-hour (GWh), Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 0.00 0.00 37.00 Date 01-May-2018 21-Dec-2022 04-Aug-2023 28-Feb-2024 The indicator measures the annual amount of electricity (in gigawatt hour) that is produced by the solar Comments: plant and transmitted to the existing transmission line Boali/Bangui.
