Project Development Objectives
Project Development Objective (from Project Appraisal Document)
The proposed project development objective is to improve selected national and city-level policies for (1) the promotion of low-carbon, adaptive
and livable urban forms; (2) an increase in energy efficiency in public and commercial buildings; and, (3) the scale-up of commercially viable
rooftop solar PV deployment. The global environment objective of the proposed project is to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from buildings in
selected Chinese cities by supporting improved policy making and implementation in promoting low-carbon, adaptive and livable urban forms,
increasing energy efficiency in public and commercial buildings, and scaling up commercially viable rooftop solar PV deployment.
Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective?

The project will close on December 31, 2019. The Oct 2019 supervision mission confirm that the project is on track to achieve or exceed almost all
of 14 of its intermediate indicators and three of its four PDO indicators. Only one indicator is not formally achieved per the metric of the
corresponding PDO indicator (number of renewable energy contracts signed). The reason is that in the sectoral scope to demonstrate the RESCO
model was expanded beyond public schools at the occasion of the restructuring[VK1] , leading to larger contracts. However, the target of the
corresponding intermediate result indicator (total installed solar photovoltaic capacity) is being exceeded.
Numerous activities to improve policies promote sustainable and low-carbon urban forms, improve the efficiency of public and commercial buildings,
and scale up commercially viable solar PV roof tops have been completed by the project.
A pre-ICR workshop has been organized by the Bank on Oct 14-15, 2019, in Ningbo, for the four PMOs to discuss results and finalization of their
own client ICRs.
