(Text, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0 1617 1846 4,432 Date 22-Jul-2008 26-Jun-2015 30-Oct-2015 30-Oct-2015 Comments The target for this indicator (4,432) corresponds to the entire Government’s electrification program i.e., 86 locations (Bank and GEF funds will support approximately 40 locations). CFE has reported that the federal electrification program has only recently started with three locations outside the PSIE project. However, it is unlikely that the locations outside the PSIE project will be electrified by the current closing date of October 2015, and thus the indicator is updated based on the locations financed by PSIE only. In the previous ISR the team estimated the target as 1,800 (on the assumption of 35 communities). Now that the project has been extended to electrify another 5 communities, the target is revised as 2060 HH (for 40 communities). As such, the project has met 89.6% of the revised target (1846 out of 2060, considering 40 farms corresponding to bids 1 to 7). The team has been advised to keep the current results framework and take the opportunity to explain the discrepancy between project targets versus program targets in the ICR. The team will gather additional 10/30/2015 Public Disclosure Copy Page 3 of 10 Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Mexico (CRL) Integrated Energy Services (P088996) information on other electrification actions by CFE (including pilot projects and projects after PSIE) to fully assess the impact of this intervention on the Government's rural electrification agenda. PHINDPDOTBL  Costs per New Connection (USD/HH). (Text, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 1,371 1246.1 1492.5 1,097 Date 22-Jul-2008 26-Jun-2015 30-Oct-2015 30-Oct-2015 Comments The target of 1,097 USD/HH corresponds to the original results framework, where it was assumed that each HH would have a 100-W panel installed on its rooftop. Consequently, 1,097 USD/HH is equivalent to 1,097 USD / 100 W. For bids 1 to 7 CFE reported an average cost of connection of 14,925 USD/kW which translates into 1492.5 USD/100 W, or 1492.5 USD/HH using the original metrics. Such cost represents an overprice of 36%, which can be explained mainly by two facts: (i) the farms are equipped with a very advanced telecommunication system that allows CFE to operate them remotely, and (ii) the farms are expected to provide electricity to the communities at a service quality that is comparable to the grid. The team has been advised to keep the current results framework and explain the discrepancies between the original indicator (in USD/HH, equivalent to USD/100W) and the two independent indicators of the restructured project, i.e. USD/HH and USD/kW. Notice that the actual cost per connection is given in Mexican pesos (as the currency of contract commitment) and the estimation in USD is highly affected by the exchange rate, which has been particularly volatile during 2014-2015. PHINDPDOTBL  Installed capacity (Text, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0 1423 2037 6,205 Date 22-Jul-2008 26-Jun-2015 30-Oct-2015 30-Oct-2015 Comments The target of 6,205 kW installed capacity corresponds to the entire electrification program, i.e., 86 locations (Bank and GEF funds will support approximately 40 locations). CFE has reported that the federal electrification program has recently started with three locations outside the PSIE project in addition to the two pilot projects. However, it is unlikely that the locations outside the PSIE project will be electrified by the current closing date of October 2015 and thus the indicator is updated based on the locations financed by PSIE. In the last ISR the team estimated the target as 2500 kW (on the assumption of 35 communities). Now that the project has been extended to electrify another 5 communities, the target is revised as 2,880 kW (for 40 communities). As such, the project has achieved 70.7% of the revised target (2037 out of 2880, considering 40 farms corresponding to bids 1 to 7). It should be noted that the requirements for all seven bids were specified in terms of energy (kWh), rather than capacity (kW). The team has been advised to keep the current results framework and take the opportunity to explain the discrepancy between project targets versus program targets in the ICR. 10/30/2015 Public Disclosure Copy Page 4 of 10 Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Mexico (CRL) Integrated Energy Services (P088996) PHINDPDOTBL  Incremental increase in MWh/year of electricity consumed for productive uses in targeted communities (MWh/year). (Text, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0 0 527 5,768 Date 22-Jul-2008 26-Jun-2015 30-Oct-2015 30-Oct-2015 Comments To the date of this ISR, CFE did not provide an update for this indicator, as most the farms have been in operation only for a relatively small period of time (less than a year) and as such, beneficiaries are using the electricity mostly for residential loads. However, each of the solar farms has included a provision of approximately 30% of its capacity to accommodate productive uses in the future. The estimation of 526 MWh/year accounts for such capacity in all 40 localities. As the project closes on October 30, 2015, the team has agreed to support the Government for carrying out a consultancy with the purpose of estimating energy consumption during the ICR period. The team is currently preparing the ToRs for such consultancy, which is expected to be launched in November 2015. As with the other indicators, the target of 5,768 MWh/year corresponds to the entire electrification program, i.e., 86 locations (Bank and GEF funds will support approximately 40 locations). The target should be adjusted when preparing the ICR to account only for the 40 farms benefited from PSIE. PHINDPDOTBL  Number of new social/productive activities and micro-businesses developed. (Text, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0 0 185 2179 Date 22-Jul-2008 26-Jun-2015 30-Oct-2015 30-Oct-2015 Comments The target of 2179 (revised from 1308 in the previous ISR, as 2179 is the correct number according to the restructured project) corresponds to the entire electrification program, i.e., 86 locations (Bank and GEF funds will support approximately 40 locations). CFE has reported that the federal electrification program has recently started with three locations outside the PSIE project in addition to the two pilot projects. However, it is unlikely that the locations outside the PSIE project will be electrified by the current closing date of October 2015 and thus the indicator is updated based on the locations financed by PSIE. In this ISR, the team is estimating the target to 1,013 new social/productive uses and micro-business developed only for the 40 communities benefited from PSIE. As such, the project could achieve in the very short term (within one year from commissioning) 18% of the revised target (185 out of 1013, considering 40 farms corresponding to bids 1 to 7). It should be noted that these are not actual new social/productive activities and micro-business developed. Instead, these are prospective productive activities that were mentioned by the beneficiaries in the initial consultations (prior to the farm construction). Examples of these prospective activities are: (i) greenhouses, (ii) rural grocery stores, (iii) poultry breeding facilities, (iv) bakeries, (v) carpentries, (vi) sewing shops, (vii) mechanical service stations, (viii) livestock breeding facilities, (ix) dairy farms, (x) internet in schools, etc. The team has been advised to keep the current results framework and take the opportunity to explain the discrepancy between project targets versus program targets in the ICR. PHINDPDOTBL  Total RET energy consumption per household in MWh/year (Text, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0 0 1,370 2,077 10/30/2015 Public Disclosure Copy Page 5 of 10 Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Mexico (CRL) Integrated Energy Services (P088996) Date 08-Nov-2012 26-Jun-2015 30-Oct-2015 30-Oct-2015 Comments According to the updated framework from the project restructuring of October 2012, each HH would have an output of 1.18 kWp, at a capacity factor of 20%. Translated into energy consumption/year per HH, the target should have been (1.18 kWp/HH) x (24 hrs./day) x (365 days/year) x 20% = 2,067 kWh/year per HH. Therefore, the units of the target should be revised from MWh/year to kWh/year. As with other targets, the target of 2,077 kWh/year corresponds to the entire program, as opposed to the project. Using information from CFE, the team estimated the potential energy consumption per household in kWh/year, which could reach 1,370 kWh/year per household at full load, thus potentially meeting and passing the adjusted project target (estimated at 966 kWh/year per HH for 40 localities). The achievement would thus be 142% at full load (1,370 / 966). PHINDPDOTBL  People provided with access to electricity by hold connections-Other RE: Off-grid (Number, Core) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 6065.00 7384.00 17578.00 Date -- 26-Jun-2015 30-Oct-2015 30-Oct-2015 Comments The target for this indicator (17,578 people) corresponds to the entire Government’s electrification program i.e., 86 locations (Bank and GEF funds will support approximately 40 locations). CFE has reported that the federal electrification program has only recently started with three locations outside the PSIE project. However, it is unlikely that the locations outside the PSIE project will be electrified by the current closing date of October 2015, and thus the indicator is updated based on the locations financed by PSIE. In the previous ISR the team estimated the project target as 8,176 people (for 40 communities). As such, the project has achieved 90% of the revised target (7384 out of 8176, considering the 40 farms for bids 1 to 7). The team has been advised to keep the current results framework and take the opportunity to explain the discrepancy between project targets versus program targets in the ICR. Overall Comments Global Environmental Objective Indicators PHINDGEOTBL  Emissions Reduction (thousand tones CO2e) (Text, Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0 0 99 241 Date 22-Jul-2008 26-Jun-2015 30-Oct-2015 30-Oct-2015 Comments The target of 241,000 tons CO2e per year is estimated on the assumption that rural electrification actions would mitigate CO2 emissions by displacing (i) small gasoline engines for productive uses and (ii) kerosene lamps for lighting purposes. Following the same assumptions and methodology, the team estimated that PSIE will mitigate approximately 99,000 tonsCO2e/year. As with other indicators, the target of 241,000 10/30/2015 Public Disclosure Copy Page 6 of 10 Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Mexico (CRL) Integrated Energy Services (P088996) tonsCO2/year corresponds to the entire Government program (86 localities). A revised, proportional target of 112,000 tonsCO2e/year is proposed by the team. Under this assumption, the project is on track of substantially meeting its GEO (approximately 88% of the target of tonsCO2e per year, over the life of the project).
