PROJECT STATUS AND RATIONALE FOR RESTRUCTURING 1. The proposed Level Two restructuring is to enable the project to finance expenditures that will occur due to resettlement resulting from activities to be financed by the project. The proposed restructuring will be the first for the project and will allow it to meet its development objectives. A. Overview 2. The project was approved by the World Bank Board of Directors on November 28, 2023, the grant agreement signed on February 7, 2024 and declared effective on February 29, 2024. The total project cost is US$ 60.7 million of which US$38 million equivalent is from IDA, US$6.9 million from the Energy Sector Management Assistance Program (ESMAP), US$2.8 million from the Japan Policy and Human Resources Development (PHRD), and parallel financing of US$13 million equivalent from the African Development Bank (AfDB).The project is part of the first phase of the ASCENT Regional Program Multi Programmatic Approach (MPA). 3. The project development objective is to is to increase access to sustainable and clean energy in Sao Tome and Principe (STP). This is to be achieved through investments along the electricity value chain namely: (i) On-grid and off-grid electricity access expansion towards reaching universal access in STP; (ii) Solar PV scale-up through the deployment of common infrastructure and risk mitigation instruments to enable 15MWp of grid-connected solar PV in Agua Casada; (iii) Improved governance and institutional capacity building to expand investments in the EMAE (National Water and Electricity Utility (Empresa de Água e Electricidade)) aimed at strengthening its operational performance including a new management information system and provision of prepayment meters; and (iv) a Contingent Emergency Response Component 4. Project implementation sits with Ministry of Infrastructure and Natural Resources (MIRN) while the Project Administration and Fiduciary Agency (Agência Fiduciária de Administração de Projectos – AFAP) is responsible for fiduciary management including environmental and social risks management, and procurement and financial management functions. B. Status 5. To date, the project has already disbursed US$6.00 million (approximately 15.9 percent of the IDA proceeds) and progress towards meeting the PDO is advancing at a good pace. The project has prioritized construction works for the solar PV plant to help the government reduce its spending on diesel for electricity production and is being implemented over two phases. B.1 Component 1: (US$20 million, from IDA): On-Grid and Off-grid Electricity Access Expansion (US$22 million: US$14.2 million equivalent from IDA; US$2.8 million from a PHRD grant; and US$5 million equivalent from AfDB in parallel financing). 6. This component rating is Satisfactory, and aims to expand access to electricity through the following activities: (i) reinforcement of the electricity network to allow a stable supply to meet growing demand; (ii) network expansion in underserved areas; (iii) last-mile electricity connections, including funding for the payment of fees, to help customers Page 1 The World Bank Access to Clean Resilient Electricity under the ASCENT Regional Program - Multi Programmatic Approach (MPA) (P177099) better afford connection costs; (iv) deployment of grid-connected and off-grid solar systems for public facilities (in particular education and health. It comprises of three main sub-components: Subcomponent 1.1: Electricity network reinforcement and on-grid access expansion (US$15.6 million: US$10.6 million equivalent from IDA and US$5 million equivalent from AfDB in parallel financing). Procurement for the Owner’s Engineer for the design and supervision of works in underway with proposals expected to be submitted on April 4, 2025, and the selected firm expected to be hired by May 30, 2025 after which designs for the works towards strengthening and extending the network for additional connections will start. Subcomponent 1.2. Distributed solar for public facilities and productive uses (US$5.6 million: of which US$2.8 million equivalent from IDA, and US$2.8 million from a PHRD grant) and Subcomponent 1.3. Supply of solar home systems for remote households (US$0.8 million, of which US$0.8 million equivalent from IDA). These subcomponents are being implemented by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) to complement the on-grid connections under subcomponent 1.1. Following a protracted round of reviews, the Output Agreement between the GoSTP and the UNDP was signed on January 22, 2025. On Príncipe Island, this subcomponent will finance various community-driven productive uses such as cold-storage units for aquacultural food products. The assessment to determine the option and sizes of the respective systems was conducted in January 2025, and the Term of Reference with specifications are being developed and expected to be completed by 15 April 2025. B.2 Component 2: Solar PV scale-up through deployment of common infrastructure (US$23.3 million of which US$13.4 million equivalent from IDA, US$6.9 million ESMAP grant, and US$3 million equivalent from AfDB). 7. This component will finance investments and risk mitigation instruments to expand grid-connected utility-scale solar PV in STP. It will reduce the average cost of generation by increasing the share of privately financed renewable energy. The proposed project will finance site preparation interconnection from the solar park to the network; battery storage; and will provide credit enhancement mechanisms (namely a tariff buy-down solution to ensure that the tariff is financially viable to the off-taker), and a liquidity guarantee, which will also cover off-taker risk for a 15MWp plant. Investments under will result in net savings of approximately US$6 million a year from displaced diesel generation. It comprises of three main sub-components: 8. Subcomponent 2.1: Site preparation for a utility-scale solar park with interconnection lines (US$12.8 million: US$10.9 million equivalent from IDA, and US$1.9 million from an ESMAP grant). The contract for a company to prepare the site which includes land clearing, a security fence, levelling and compacting, surface preparation, drainage, on-site water supply, and an access road to the site was signed March 18, 2025, and works are expect to begin by April 15, 2025 upon conclusion of the first phase of the resettlement. This activity will allow for the installation of an emergency lease solar plant through a joint effort with the International Finance Corporation (IFC). 9. Subcomponent 2.2. Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) and modernization of the dispatch center and control systems (US$5.5 million: US$2.5 million from IDA, and US$3 million from AfDB in parallel financing). The expression of interest for of the Owner’s Engineer that will prepare the technical specification for the BESS at the main interconnection point of the solar PV plant to facilitate integration of the expected solar power into the grid has been published and the proposals are expected to be submitted on April 4, 2025, and the firms expected to be hired by May 30, 2025. Page 2 The World Bank Access to Clean Resilient Electricity under the ASCENT Regional Program - Multi Programmatic Approach (MPA) (P177099) 10. Subcomponent 2.3. Risk Mitigation Instruments for Solar IPP (US$5.0 million, all to be funded by an ESMAP grant). The transaction advisory services to assist the government in structuring and tendering the project, as well as technical, legal, and financial advisory services for 15MWp solar PV capacity with an independent power producer (IPP) is in the final stages of procurement and expected to be hired by May 1, 2025. B.3 Component 3: Improved governance and institutional capacity building (US$15.4 million: US$10.4 million equivalent from IDA, and US$5 million equivalent from AfDB) 11. This component will build the capacity of sector institutions (MIRN, AGER, and EMAE), for improved policy formulation and implementation; regulation; and system operations in a sector that is undergoing transformation. It comprises of two main sub-components: 12. Subcomponent 3.1: Subcomponent 3.1: Improved Sector Governance (US$9.9 million: US$5.9 million equivalent from IDA, and US$4.0 million equivalent from AfDB). The tender documents for the Integrated Management Information Systems (IMIS) have been completed, and the tender documents expected to be launched by April 20. B.4 Safeguards 13. Safeguards performance is rated Moderately Satisfactory, and the risk rating remains at Substantial due to delays in finalizing and implementing the Resettlement Plan (RP) for the Água Casada Solar Park. However, progress has been made in the actions agreed in during missions, and the RP is expected to be approved by April 10, 2025 (including review and confirmation of unit values for compensation, additional surveys of affected areas and assets, confirmation and pre- negotiation consultations with the People Affected by the Project (PAP The environmental licensing for the construction of the Agua Casada Solar Park from the Directorate for the Environment and Climate Action (DAAC) has already been obtained. 14. The RP impacts are estimated at US$1.24 million, and the compensation valuation approach adopted is based on the local legislation and ESS5 requirements. Its salient features are: (a) all lost assets will be valued at their full replacement cost (no fees or taxes will be charged to PAPs); and (b) PAPs will be assisted in restoring their livelihoods, i.e., will not experience any net loss. The Recipient will fully comply with these, and any other requirements established under ESS5. Cash payments are aimed at land related assets such as losses of trees, crops, and secondary structures, as well as covering lost income and livelihood restoration of informal sellers. Cash payments will also cover cash allowances related to moving expenses, and other transitional expenses. All assets will be priced through market comparison for replacement plus any transaction costs. Vulnerable groups, which include elderly without family support, single mothers who are head of households, disabled, widowed, etc. will receive special compensation to ensure that they do not face any additional hardships. B.5 Financial management 15. The financial management (FM) performance rating is Moderately Satisfactory. The project has started using TOM2PRO as the accounting software to record financial transactions and generate periodic financial statements. All accounting records are expected to be completed by the end of March 2025. The fiduciary agency AFAP has been submitting unaudited interim financial reports (IFRs). The project will submit the first audit report for FY 2024 in June considering that it is not eligible for the previous year’s due to the project date of approval and effectiveness. Page 3 The World Bank Access to Clean Resilient Electricity under the ASCENT Regional Program - Multi Programmatic Approach (MPA) (P177099) B.6 Procurement 16. Procurement performance rating is Moderately Satisfactory. Due to the expected number of activities to be procured, procurement risk remains substantial. To date three contracts have been signed totaling $2 million and eight contracts are under procurement. The PIU is staffed with a procurement officer who manages all relevant aspects related to procurement under the project. C. Rationale for restructuring 17. The proposed restructuring responds to the request from GoSTP dated August 8, 2024 to support the payment of compensation resulting from activities financed under the project. During a mission, which took place from July 29 to August 2, 2024, the ESIA showed that resettlement will be necessary in the area where the solar park in Agua Casada is to be built, as well as for the interconnection line with the grid and therefore the GoSTP requested to use approximately US$1.24 million for cash compensation payments, resulting from involuntary resettlement that will happen during the civil works to be financed under Component 2 of the Project. 18. This request is being made on an exceptional basis, given the Recipient’s severe fiscal constraints and the potential delays this could lead to the project’s implementation. Initial project estimates considered lower costs for compensation and project design therefore envisioned that the Recipient would assume these costs. However, given the revised costs and the government’s current weak fiscal position, the Recipient will not be able to quickly mobilize financial resources for compensating PAPs. It is thus necessary to secure funding for compensation through the project to avoid delays in project implementation and expected benefits, which will further worsen the current fiscal crises through continued purchases of diesel. Use of IDA funds would place the Project on a firmer footing for its timely implementation, avoid disrupting the start of activities, and ensuring that impacts of the Project on people in the Project area will be properly managed. This will maximize the chances of success of the Project in the very fragile STP environment. The use of IDA funds reduces also uncertainties in the financial flows enabling the timely and smooth compensations processes and implementation of the RAP. In addition, use of IDA funds ensures that the World Bank has significant fiduciary control and influence on the implementation of the RAP, and thus minimizes the risks posed by a weak governance environment. 19. , An internal memorandum seeking approval to use proceeds of the grant for resettlement expenditures was approved by the Africa East Regional Vice President on April 02, 2025, for an amount of US$1.24 million for the payment of cash compensation for the loss of lands, crops, trees, and other assets, economic displacement, and assistance related to involuntary resettlement of PAPs, including transition allowances, livelihoods restoration, and support for vulnerable PAP. The costs related to the preparation of the area that will host the two families and the construction of the 2 new houses will be supported by the Project.
