Briefly summarize project implementation progress. 3 At start-up of the Energy Efficiency Project, the activities focused on institutional and capacity building of the newly created Energy Service Company ­ HEP ESCO. This task was successfully accomplished, as reflected by HEP ESCO receiving the EC 2007 award for the best European ESCO. Initial disbursements were lower than expected as HEP ESCO sales were lower than anticipated in the first two years of the project. The project also required important promotional efforts to increase consumer-driven demand and convince potential beneficiaries to invest funds into retrofitting existing energy capacities to generate savings. In the third and fourth years of project implementation HEP ESCO sales picked up significantly. HEP ESCO has already financed project investments worth over USD 25 million. By end-2009, HEP ESCO has a pipeline of 9 potential projects with medium or high likelihood to be financed representing a potential to add another USD 20 million of investments to the total bringing it up to about USD 45 million. The project has thus successfully created a market demand. As of today, the disbursement rate of the EUR 4.4 million IBRD Loan is 97.4%. As the project is coming to its closure on June 30, 2010, the unallocated funds are needed for works and installation, which will be finalized by the end of the project. Furthermore, additional funds for Category (2) Works and Category (3) Supply and Installation of Equipment, have been necessitated by the final project mix, which could not have been foreseen at the time of the latest reallocation. If the reallocation is made all funds under the project would be utilized. 4
