At the same time, the project has made good progress towards reaching almost 100% realization of connections planned in the original financing. As of today 399,221 people were provided with electricity vs target of 736,000. At the same time, progress with non-household connections is lagging behind initial projections. Component 1. Upgrading and Reinforcement of Transmission Systems in Western Grid 6/28/2021 Page 1 of 7 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Electricity Access Expansion Project (P153743) The implementation progress of this component is maintained Moderately Unsatisfactory (MU) as the result of as the result of persistent delays in the preparation of relevant studies and poor planning of the associated activities. Component 2. Extension and reinforcement of the distribution system Implementation of this component has been stalled by the issues concerning the lot 4 (related to the rehabilitation of substations). This lot is the only remaining of the whole initial construction works package from the original financing, with a physical execution rate still stagnant at around 40%.Despite this setback, the number of household connections increased from 44,259 to 62,490 (target was 63,000 connections in the original financing). The implementation of the new activities under the additional financing, that have been delayed so far, are now about to start. These activities will contribute to achieve about 70,000 additional connections under the IDA financing and 30,000 for the EIB financing. Unlike the initial funding, the activities will also cover rural areas. Component 3. Strengthening institutional capacity in the electricity sector A slowdown is observed in the development of the sector's financial model and the development of the emergency plan. As per support to the regulator, the assessment of the first tariff cycle has been completed. A validation workshop comprising all the stakeholder including civil society representative was launched. Other activities such as the restructuring and capacity strengthening of the service in charge of the control of indoor installations and the equipment of NIGELEC's vocational training center are under implementation Risks Systematic Operations Risk-rating Tool Risk Category Rating at Approval Previous Rating Current Rating Political and Governance Moderate Substantial Substantial Macroeconomic Low Substantial Substantial Sector Strategies and Policies Substantial Moderate Moderate Technical Design of Project or Program Low Moderate Moderate Institutional Capacity for Implementation and Substantial Substantial Substantial Sustainability Fiduciary Substantial Substantial Substantial Environment and Social Moderate Moderate Moderate Stakeholders Low Low Low Other -- Substantial Substantial Overall Substantial Substantial Substantial Results PDO Indicators by Objectives / Outcomes The Project Development Objective (PDO) is to increase access to electricity.
