All the funds under IDA-52520 credit are fully disbursed. As of today, total commitments under IDA-56800 have reached US$59 million (98%) of which US$46.12 million had been disbursed. Component1: Monrovia – Kakata: Works on the Paynesville – Kakata 66 kV transmission have been completed and successfully energized together with the 66/33kV substation on March 31, 2020. The official commissioning will be conducted after the COVID-19 pandemic. The contract for the construction of the distribution network in Paynesville and communities along Kakata corridor was completed in December 2017. A total of 17,800 customers, which is higher than the original target of 10,300, were connected. The contract for the construction of the distribution network in 9 communities in Paynesville has installed the remaining 15,000 customers in the area. 4/28/2021 Page 1 of 7 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Liberia Accelerated Electricity Expansion Project (LACEEP) (P133445) Monrovia - Bomi Corridor: All contracts for the transmission lines, substations and distribution network are progressing well following the completion of compensation payments to PAPs captured in the RAP report and handing over of sites to the contractors. About 18,900 connections have been completed in the LACEEP AF area to bring the total number of connections for both credits to 51,700 out of the revised target of 56,450.00. Barring any deterioration in the COVID-19 situation in Liberia, the project should be able to meet the scheduled completion date for all the outstanding by December 31, 2021. Component 2: The construction of the storage tanks and the Pipeline have been completed and commissioned and for the first time been utilized to transport HFO fuel procure from the international market from the pier at the port to the tanks. Component 3: The implementation of the Integrated Management System that would help strengthen the operational performance of LEC is now completed and in operation, however, several system integrations issues and meter bypassing issues still need to be addressed. At the request of the Bank, LEC submitted its plan to address these issues but the implementation of the plan had further challenges. LEC is implementing a revised plan and would submit the results in due course Risks Systematic Operations Risk-rating Tool Risk Category Rating at Approval Previous Rating Current Rating Political and
