Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? No Components Table Name Rural Grid Augmentation and Rehabilitation:(Cost $485.00 M) Transmission Enhancement:(Cost $106.00 M) Institutional Strengthening:(Cost $9.00 M) Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO Satisfactory Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) Satisfactory Satisfactory Overall Risk Rating Substantial Substantial Implementation Status and Key Decisions The project continues to be on track. It has surpassed expectations in some key results indicators (system loss, construction/rehabilitation of distribution lines, and substation capacity). Construction of the transmission enhancement component by PGCB has picked up with an overall progress of 89%. However, the Keraniganj substation caught a fire at end of February and PGCB agreed to put special attention to restore the substation rapidly in order to be commissioned before the project closing date (June 30, 2020). Implementation of the TA component by BREB has picked up significantly. 6/26/2019 Page 1 of 6 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Bangladesh: Rural Electricity Transmission and
