Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? Yes Board Approved Revised Project Development Objective (If project is formally restructured) The Project Development Objective is to improve operational performance of electricity sector institutions, and pilot a new business model for solar energy in Gaza. Components Table Name Component 1 - Strengthening the Capacity of Palestinian Electricity Sector Institutions, PETL and PERC:(Cost $5.00 M) Component 2 - Improving the operational performance of Palestinian electricity Distribution Companies (DISCOs):(Cost $13.20 M) Component 3: Improving Energy Security in Gaza with Solar Energy:(Cost $3.10 M) Component 4 - Technical Assistance, Capacity Building, and Project Management:(Cost $1.70 M) Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO Satisfactory Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) Moderately Satisfactory Moderately Satisfactory Overall Risk Rating Moderate Moderate Implementation Status and Key Decisions This ISR reflects key findings and agreements of World Bank energy mission with the Palestinian Energy and Natural Resources Authority (PENRA) and other stakeholders during September 10th - October 5th, 2023, and a series of follow-up discussions post-mission. The progress towards 12/27/2023 Page 1 of 6 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report West Bank and Gaza Electricity Sector Performance Improvement Project (P148600) achievement of the project development objective is Satisfactory and implementation progress Moderately Satisfactory. The restructuring including extension of ESPIP was finalized on October 25th. The project is now closing on June 20, 2024, with revised scope of Component 3 to include additional solar PV and energy efficiency systems installation for selected schools in Gaza. The ongoing violent conflict in Gaza is likely to affect implementation of activities in Gaza, in particular those under Component 3. The World Bank and PENRA are coordinating closely to mitigate potential impacts to the extent possible.
