Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? No Components Table Name Enhancement and Strengthening of Power Network:(Cost $636.60 M) Institutional Development and Implementation Support:(Cost $30.82 M) Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO Satisfactory Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) Moderately Satisfactory Moderately Satisfactory Overall Risk Rating Substantial Substantial Implementation Status and Key Decisions 1. Overall implementation progress of the project is satisfactory. All the six works contracts under component 1 are signed. The Bank team undertook field trip to several sites during the mission that concluded just recently to see the actual physical progress and was happy to note the work momentum. 2. The reconductoring of one of the existing transmission lines (P3) has been completed and the line has been charged. For the new transmission line packages, 72% of the piling and foundation works for new towers have been completed, out of which 20 towers have already been erected. After some delay, the land development (LD) works for the substation packages have advanced well with LD works for 5 substation locations already completed. Foundation works for transformer and boundary wall in these locations are ongoing. Most of these contracts are delayed but expected to be completed by the current credit closing date. However, works under package 4 will likely require some extension of the closing date. We will assess the need further during the next supervision mission planned in November 2022. 6/20/2022 Page 1 of 6 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Enhancement and Strengthening of Power Transmission Network in Eastern Region (P159974) 3. As of June 15, 2022, the disbursements from the project in this FY is about US$50 million. The cumulative disbursement from the project is about US$ 85 million, which is about 24% of the total IDA credit. The disbursements in FY23 are expected to be higher and will be reviewed with the PIU in July/August 2022.
