This report documents the performance of the Asia Alternative Energy Program (ASTAE) for the World Bank’s fiscal year 2000 (FY00), the eighth fiscal year of ASTAE’s operation. The Report focuses on ASTAE’s activities and work program, staffing status and resource mobilizati on and utilization for the 12-month period July 1, 1999 through June 30, 2000. It also summarizes the Ninth Annual ASTAE Donors’ Meeting, held in April 2000, and ASTAE’s current strategy and future work program. 2. In 1992, the World Bank (WB) created the Asia Alternative Energy Program (ASTAE) 1 to mainstream renewable energy and energy efficiency investments into the Bank’s lending program in the East Asia and Pacific (EAP) and South Asia (SAR) Regions. Since that time, ASTAE has been supported by the Netherlands Directorate General for International Cooperation (DGIS), the US Department of Energy (USDOE), the US Agency for International Development (USAID), the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), the Swiss Confederation, the Government of Finland, and other donors. 3. The Asia Alternative Energy Program has been an highly effective, collaborative effort by the Bank and several donors to integrate clean, sustainable, renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies into the Bank’s lending operations. Originally launched as a three -year pilot effort, the Bank and donors agreed that this should become a full-scale program with continued support by both groups.2 4. Since its inception, ASTAE has supported alternative energy activities in Bangladesh, Cambodia, China, India, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Nepal, Sri Lanka, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam. Activities 5. In its support to client countries and Bank staff, ASTAE seeks to:  promote viable alternative energy options at all levels of decision-making;  strengthen institutional capacities to identify, assess and implement proven, cost- effective alternative energy options; and  foster public-private sector partnerships in the development of environmentally sustainable energy projects. 1 Formerly known as the Asia Alternative Energy Unit. 2 The Asia Alternative Energy Program is a direct product of the Financing Energy Services for Small-Scale Energy Users (FINESSE) project, which the World Bank and bilateral donors embarked on in August 1989. FINESSE focused on identifying possibilities for multilateral development bank financial assistance to providers of small-scale energy services who lacked access to credit through conventional means. The FINESSE project identified substantial scope for meeting the large unmet demand for energy services throughout the Asia region through renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies and concluded that World Bank regional operations should give special attention to this potential. Following a joint request from Asian borrowers and donor partners, the Bank’s EAP and SAR Regions acted to implement the FINESSE recommendations by creating the Asia Alternative Energy Program (ASTAE) in January 1992. 2 The World Bank Asia Alternative Energy Program (ASTAE) 6. Specific activities undertaken by ASTAE include:  identification, preparation, appraisal and supervision of renewable energy and energy efficiency investments, supported by the WB and by the Global Environment Facility (GEF);  analytic and advisory activities (AAA), including:  economic and sector work (ESW), including formulation of policies to promote environmentally sustainable renewable energy and energy efficiency options;  technical assistance and training;  capacity building; and  technology assessments and feasibility studies.  knowledge management; and  coordination with donor agencies and resource mobilization for alternative energy development. FY00 ASTAE Summary 7. ASTAE: A Model of Success. ASTAE provides a useful model of a Bank/donor partnership to integrate alternative energy options into energy delivery services. In FY00, the energy policies and environmental action plans of Asian client countries and the Bank Country Directors demonstrated increased commitment to developing alternative energy resources. 8. Lending Activities. In 1992, the Bank and ASTAE donors agreed, as an initial indicator of program effectiveness, that 10 percent of Bank financial assistance to the power sector in Asia would be allocated to alternative energy. This target has been reached and surpassed with alternative energy accounting for a new high of 47.3 percent of total power sector lending in FY00, marking the second consecutive year alternative energy has exceeded 45% of the Bank power sector lending in the South and East Asia regions.3 The ASTAE-supported portfolio of alternative energy projects for FY93- FY03 has grown to 37 renewable energy and energy efficiency projects in 11 borrowing countries in Asia, with a total alternative energy cost of $3.8 billion and total Bank/GEF commitments of $1.1 to $1.5 billion. 9. Nonlending Services. In FY00, ASTAE engaged in significant AAA work (analytical and advisory activities) to advance alternative energy programs in client countries, including policy and regulatory support, education and outreach, local capacity building and technical assistance and training. Lending, though vital, is not sufficient to mainstream alternative energy options because alternative energy projects typically involve new policy, financing and delivery models. It has become clear that sustainable alternative energy development requires enhanced institutional capacity in both the Bank and in client countries. ASTAE’s AAA work has provided significant support in this area. 3 While the overall Bank power sector lending program has significantly declined during the last two years, the 10 percent goal would have been achieved if lending commitments had remained constant. Work Program 3 10. To date, ASTAE’s primary method of mainstreaming alternative energy has been through the initiation of lending operations, i.e., developing projects or project components for WB/GEF financing. In FY92, the WB had approved only one loan in the Asia Regions with an alternative energy component of $2.0 million.4 Since that time, ASTAE has supported the development of 18 projects (14 of which are currently under implementation, the remaining four have closed), totaling over US$680 million in Bank/GEF support for alternative energy in Asia. These projects represent over $1.8 billion in alternative energy investments by the private sector, commercial banks, local governments, and bilateral and multilateral institutions (see Figure 1 and Attachment 1 for details of the ASTAE-supported project portfolio).5 The projects currently under implementation are expected to displace almost 1.5 gigawatts (GW) of fossil fuel-fired generation capacity and will provide electricity to an estimated 530,000 to 630,000 rural households in remote areas that would otherwise lack access to modern energy services (see Attachment 2). 11. ASTAE continues to be one of the champions of alternative energy within and outside the Bank. It is supporting project preparation work for an additional 19 projects, with an estimated total alternative energy cost of over $2 billion and WB/GEF support of at least $500-900 million. A summary of the ASTAE-supported alternative energy portfolio is presented in Box 1. Box 1: Summary of ASTAE Operations in Asia ASTAE-supported WB/GEF Investment Projects (FY93-03) ASTAE Budget Expenditures (FY92-00)  37 Projects = $ 22.4 million, of which  4 Projects have closed  World Bank = $9.00 million (40%)  14 Projects under implementation  Donor funding plus in-kind support =  19 Projects under preparation $13.45 million (60%)  Total alternative energy project/project component costs of ~$3.8 billion;  Bank/GEF assistance for alternative energy of ~$1.1-1.5 billion;  Avoided Capacity of ~1.5 GW for completed projects and projects under implementation. 4 The solar component included in the Nepal Telecommunications V Project was subsequently canceled. 5 The portfolio of ASTAE-supported projects does not include projects that have been canceled or dropped. The Asia financial crisis had a severe impact on lending operations in Indonesia, forcing the cancellation of two projects under implementation (the Sumatra and Kalimantan Power and the Renewable Energy for Small Power Projects) and three projects under preparation (Eastern Indonesia Renewable Energy Development Project, Eastern Islands Power Sector Development Project, and the Sumatera, Kalimantan Sulawesi Rural Electrification Project). The Henan (Qinbei) Thermal Power Project in China, which included an energy efficiency component, was canceled shortly after loan approval and is not included in the portfolio. The Philippines Renewable Energy Isolated Grids AIJ project is no longer being implemented by the Bank. 4 The World Bank Asia Alternative Energy Program (ASTAE) Box 2: DSM in Thailand: An ASTAE Evaluation ASTAE commissioned a review of the recently completed Thailand Promotion of Electrical Energy Efficiency Project (Loan 3598-TH, GEF Grants 28637 & 21221-TH) to evaluate the effectiveness of the project and to disseminate lessons learned from implementation. This ASTAE-supported project provided resources for the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand’s (EGAT’s) implementation of a five-year DSM demonstration program. The project was approved on April 27, 1993 and closed on June 30, 2000. In 1993, Thailand initiated a $189 million demand-side management (DSM) program to help curb electricity demand growth and promote more energy-efficiency equipment and cost-effective energy services within the country with primary support from an automatic tariff mechanism for DSM and other services (F t). In addition, the Program received a $9.5 million grant from the Global Environment Facility (GEF), $6.0 million grant from the Government of Australia, and a $25 million concessional loan from the Overseas Economic Cooperation Fund of Japan (OECF). During the project lifetime, EGAT’s DSM Office has developed a strong portfolio of DSM measures, including some 19 DSM programs targeting a wide range of sub-sectors and end-uses, and substantially surpassed its original peak reduction and energy conservation targets. EGAT has also created substantial public awareness of energy conservation and actively promoted private sector participation in providing such services. EGAT’s DSM Office has been recognized internationally for its success in designing DSM programs that fit within an Asian context as well as its innovation and partnerships with other agencies. EGAT’s DSM programs have resulted in an aggregate peak load reduction of 558 MW, or 4 percent of the 1999 peak load, and cumulative annual energy savings of 3,099 GWh, representing more than double the original energy savings Program targets. The Program has also provided significant environmental benefits, reducing CO 2 emissions by 2.29 million tons per year. Thailand’s DSM program experience offers considerable insights into the major issues associated with implementing DSM programs, and of the potential benefits that can accrue. At the time EGAT began its DSM Program, it was unable to keep up with growth in energy demand. While several of EGAT’s DSM programs did not achieve their intended impacts, EGAT achieved its overall peak and energy reduction goals at costs well below the cost of additional generation capacity. While every country’s and utility’s context is unique, EGAT’s experience offers a number of useful lessons that cut across geographical boundaries. And, whether or not Thailand decides to sustain its DSM activities in the face of electric utility industry restructuring, the market transformation effects and persistence of energy savings will continue to produce real economic and environmental benefits for Thailand. 12. ASTAE-supported WB/GEF investment projects include a wide range of alternative energy technologies. Renewable energy investments include solar photovoltaic (PV), small and mini-hydro, wind power, biomass cogeneration, small geothermal and solar thermal electric projects or project components. Demand-side management (DSM) projects or project components fund investments in efficient lighting, appliances, motors, agricultural pumpsets, and HVAC technologies, load management and load research, industrial cogeneration and energy management services. ASTAE’s efforts have aided in making energy efficiency a key component of the Bank’s power sector reform strategy in India.

Work Program 7 14. ASTAE has also engaged in strategic development of alternative energy investments for cross-sector applications. Alternative energy technologies are ideally suited to supplying energy needs in a broad range of end-use applications (water pumping, refrigeration, lighting, communications, etc.). These applications span a number of sectors in Bank operations, including agriculture, health and population, rural development, urban, and water. ASTAE is currently supporting several pilot projects promoting the use of alternative energy in cross-sector applications in China and will continue to support activities that incorporate alternative energy solutions in rural development and social sector projects in the EAP and SAR Regions. In FY00, ASTAE completed the RENEWABLE AND EFFICIENCY APPLICATION PROJECT (funded by the Government of the Netherlands). The project financed the following eight sub-tasks: 1. Canal-Based Small Hydro in Uttar Pradesh, India, 2. Renewable Energy for Rural Health Clinics in China, 3. PV for Education Project in China, 4. Energy Efficient Housing in China, 5. Energy Efficiency Procurement in the Education Sector in Thailand, 6. Renewable Energy for Rural Infrastructure Development in Vietnam, 7. Demand Side Management for Municipal/Water Sector in India, and 8. Promotion of Alternative Energy for Cross Sector Applications/ASTAE Program Support. This project successfully increased Bank awareness of the potential for alternative energy projects or project components in non-power sector projects, and financed identification/appraisal work which may be incorporated into future projects and project components. Box 3: REAP Sub-Task Report: Canal-Based Small Hydro in Uttar Pradesh, India The Uttar Pradesh (UP) irrigation sector is currently experiencing financial difficulties, and performs below its potential. This is of concern where major proportions of the population live in rural areas and depend on agriculture for their livelihoods. In a state that receives the bulk of its rainfall in just a four-month period, reliable supplies of water for irrigation are a necessity. Recognizing the need to overcome these challenges, the Uttar Pradesh Irrigation Department has sought assistance from the World Bank to address key sector issues and to establish a sector restructuring, investment and technical assistance program. The REAP TF provided assistance to identify prospective canal-based small hydro systems within UP, and to investigate five selected schemes at the pre-feasibility level within the framework of broader support to the UP water sector. Nine potentially viable canal-based small hydro sites were identified, and five schemes were selected and studied at the pre-feasibility level. The proposed total installed capacity of the five schemes is 11.45 MW, with an annual energy generation of 78.9 GWh. Pre-feasibility designs using a number of innovative approaches were developed for each the five schemes. Four of the schemes showed attractive financial internal rates of return, and are considered economically viable. The REAP funds also supported a workshop held in Bahraich, Uttar Pradesh to discuss and review the pre-feasibility study report on May 25, 2000. The workshop was attended by local dignitaries, representatives of the local community, UP Irrigation Department, World Bank and the consultants. A comprehensive presentation of the results of the pre- feasibility studies was made during the workshop. In addition to technical aspects, various arrangements of implementing the project were discussed, including community-based, participatory approaches. The pre-feasibility studies and final report from this REAP subtask will be further developed in conjunction with the proposed UP Water Sector Restructuring Project (FY02). One of the identified projects (Imamganj Canal) will be implemented in the first phase of the UP Water Sector investment program to meet the power requirements for lift irrigation and to meet village electricity needs in the vicinity of the canal drop. 8 The World Bank Asia Alternative Energy Program (ASTAE) Nan He Township Hospital in Gansu Province: Utilization of Passive Solar Design Techniques in ASTAE-Supported Pilot Project Photograph Courtesy of J. Spears Alternative Energy, Poverty, and Gender Initiative (ENPOGEN) 15. This initiative, funded by the Government of the Netherlands, is investigating the linkages between alternative energy, poverty alleviation, and gender equity. The initial studies will be based upon fieldwork in China, India, Sri Lanka and Indonesia. Follow-up work of the ENPOGEN project will develop and test improved project preparation methods for increasing impact of alternative energy on poverty alleviation, and will promote incorporation of alternative energy into rural infrastructure/poverty projects. The results of this initiative will increase the impact of ASTAE- supported energy sector projects and the program’s ability to work in other sectors, such as health, education, and rural development. 16. ASTAE’s client-centered approach is tailored to help countries remove regulatory, technical, financial and institutional barriers to alternative energy and to ensure appropriate policy environments. ASTAE has engaged in significant non-lending activities such as major economic and sector work (ESW), technical assistance, training, and knowledge management. 17. Bank economic and sector work provides the analytical framework for integrating alternative energy options into Country Assistance Strategies (CASs). ASTAE has helped provide an analytical framework for evaluating development strategies and donor activities related to alternative energy development. For example, ASTAE’s significant ESW and AAA work with the Government of China (GOC) directly supported the development of the $135 million WB/GEF China Renewable Energy Development Project. Box 4 presents the initial outputs from ASTAE support in promoting renewable energy development in Vietnam. Work Program 9 Box 4: Vietnam Renewable Energy Action Plan At the request of Electricity of Vietnam (EVN), ASTAE assisted in preparing a strategy for international assistance for the development of renewable electricity in Vietnam: the Renewable Energy Action Plan (REAP). The REAP lays out a ten year program to accelerate large scale development of renewable energy for rural electrification and grid supply in Vietnam, in two phases: a five year pilot phase and a five year implementation phase. The REAP details the activities, technical assistance, and institutional and financial requirements for the pilot phase of the program, and provides a broad outline for the scope of the implementation phase. The 10-Year-REAP-Program will focus on five main components of intervention: (i) Policy Development and Capacity Building for Renewable Electricity (technical assistance); (ii) Pico-hydro & PV Household/Institutional Systems (technical assistance and investment); (iii) Community Isolated Grids Based on Hydro (technical assistance and investment); (iv) EVN and Private Sector Renewable Electricity for the Grid (technical assistance and investment); (v) Renewable Resource and Technology Assessment/Demonstration (technical assistance) The time schedule has been designed in such a way that the recommendations of the Renewable Energy Action Plan can flow into one (or more) of the WB Vietnam energy projects currently in the pipeline:  Vietnam: System Efficiency Improvement Project (FY02)  Vietnam: Rural Energy II Project (FY03) 18. Technical assistance supported by ASTAE has included: pre-feasibility studies; performance testing; help in drafting standard power purchase agreements and tariffs for small power producers; developing analytic tools for evaluating least-cost energy alternatives; help in developing business plans; and other activities to develop institutional capacity. Wherever possible, the program uses local expertise to enhance in-country capacity for sustainable alternative energy development. In FY00, ASTAE contracted with experts, firms, agencies and NGOs in Cambodia, China, India, Philippines, Sri Lanka, and Vietnam. (See Attachment 3 presenting ASTAE’s use of local consultants in FY00.) 19. Training activities in FY00 focused on such areas as technical, economic and environmental aspects of alternative energy technologies; institutional requirements and regulatory frameworks; mechanisms for marketing alternative energy investments; and facilitation of public-private partnerships for private-sector delivery of energy services. The success of these partnerships was due to careful matching of partners, appropriate attention to selection of participants, monitoring of impacts, rapid intervention for issue resolution and most importantly country “ownership” of the programs. 20. In FY00, ASTAE continued its utilization of the stakeholder consultation process as a key element of its Project work. ASTAE will continue this process, which aids in the identification of win-win situations to improve project quality and stakeholder acceptance, thus increasing sustainability of alternative energy programs. 21. Many Asian countries seek appropriate technical standards support for alternative energy products. Standards for product design, installation and maintenance help promote and sustain market penetration by reducing the consumer risks regarding the technical performance of alternative energy products. ASTAE’s technical assistance and training to build capacity in alternative energy development relies on local consultants, stakeholder workshops and targeted support and training for 10 The World Bank Asia Alternative Energy Program (ASTAE) public and private sector participants. In FY00, ASTAE continued its work with the Photovoltaic Global Approval Program (PV GAP) in an effort to establish globally accepted standards, testing laboratories, reference manuals, approval/certification programs, and a PV Quality Seal in ASTAE- assisted countries (Box 5). Box 5: Photovoltaic Global Approval Program (PV GAP) ASTAE, in collaboration with the Global Approval Program for Photovoltaics (PV-GAP) and the Institute for Sustainable Power (ISP), is implementing the project “Mitigating Global Climate Change Through the Development of a Quality Process Infrastructure for Renewable Energy” (QuaP -PV). This project was funded by the WB/Netherlands Partnership Program for the Environment. The objective of this project is to contribute to increased consumer satisfaction with PV systems in developing countries by effecting quality improvements in all links of the PV market infrastructure, including; design, manufacturing, testing, installation and maintenance of PV systems. The main products of the QuaP-PV project are the following four “quality” training manuals: 1. Design and Design Modifications of Electronic BOS Components for SHS. 2. Manufacturers Quality Control. 3. Quality Improvement of PV Testing Laboratories. 4. Implementing Qualified Certification Programs for PV Installation and Maintenance Practitioners. The manuals and corresponding pilot training course was presented in Jaipur India in collaboration with the Indian Ministry of Nonconventional Resources in October 1999. Additional training courses were conducted in China, the Philippines, South Africa, and in Sri Lanka. 22. ASTAE has also supported alternative energy technology assessment and feasibility studies. This work is a necessary precondition for project and program formulation. Boxes 6 & 7 present information on two such activities undertaken by ASTAE in FY00. Box 6: Philippines AIJ Project: Renewable Energy Applications on Island Grids ASTAE oversaw implementation of the first phase of this project, funded by the Government of Switzerland. The first phase of this project, an Activities Implemented Jointly (AIJ) mechanism of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCC), focused on project identification of potential sites which would be subsequently developed for incorporation of renewable energy into existing island grids in the Philippines. The first phase of this project identified 12 possible renewable energy projects (including small and mini hydro, biomass, geothermal, and wind powered resources), and developed a selection criteria and screening methodology to determine a short list of projects for follow-up support through the AIJ mechanism. The project also identified several institutional, policy, regulatory, and procedural barriers that have limited opportunities for investment in renewable energy projects in the Philippines. The Phase 1 report noted that in order to make the AIJ mechanism sustainable for projects in the Philippines, policy modifications and revised institutional arrangements are required. The Schedule for follow-up action as defined per Phase 2 of the project is currently being evaluated by the Governments of Switzerland and the Philippines. Work Program 11 Box 7: Indochina Wind Mapping Study In FY00, ASTAE continued its efforts to develop a regional wind atlas as a first step towards investigating the potential for grid-connected and off-grid wind energy applications in Indochina (Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, and Thailand). Once completed, the atlas will contain a discussion and supporting documentation, maps, charts, and tables which describe the wind resource (including frequency, distributions, and monthly and inter-annual variability of the wind resource) for the Indochina region as a whole, as well as for specific areas showing favorable wind resources. The resulting maps and atlas will be made available on CD-ROM and in hard copy format. The final report summarizing results will be ready by Jan 2001. The assessments will aid in the development of alternative energy components for the following ASTAE-supported projects (currently under preparation):  Cambodia: Rural Electrification and Transmission Project (FY01)  Lao PDR: Rural Electrification Project (FY01)  Vietnam: System Efficiency Improvement Project (FY02)  Vietnam: Rural Energy II Project (FY03) 12 The World Bank Asia Alternative Energy Program (ASTAE) 23. ASTAE has continued to disseminate knowledge gained from its experiences in alternative energy through publication of best practices materials, presentations at conferences and training seminars, and maintenance of the ASTAE web site. Details on ASTAE conference and seminar participation are presented in Attachment 4. 24. Web Site. ASTAE maintains a web site that includes comprehensive information on ASTAE’s work program, project information, alternative energy publications, multimedia products, and donor information within the World Bank’s Web Page. This low-cost tool has already been visited by alternative energy professionals worldwide and has received very positive responses. ASTAE periodically updates this site to incorporate new features to better disseminate alternative energy best practices, project information, technical information and improved feedback options.

Ninth Annual Donors’ Meeting 27. The Ninth Annual ASTAE Donors’ Meeting, held in Washington in April 2000, was well attended by ASTAE’s multilateral and bilateral partners/agencies, other st rategic partners, and World Bank staff. The donors were briefed on the challenges that ASTAE is facing in several areas, including/ensuring the successful implementation of approved alternative energy projects and in scaling up the impact of alternative energy on environmental projection and poverty alleviation. The donors were briefed on the Bank’s energy agenda for South and East Asia regions, the status of the ASTAE-supported alternative energy portfolio, the growing interest in client countries for alternative energy, and ASTAE’s new strategy to scale up the impact of alternative energy by adopting a programmatic approach. 28. Donors expressed their strong satisfaction with ASTAE’s performance and clear willingness to support this program in FY00 and beyond. Several donors mentioned that they would like to see the ASTAE program receive increased financial support from the Bank, as it is not expected that donors would continue their Program support indefinitely. ASTAE staff noted that the new energy strategy at the Bank increasingly favors alternative energy, and that this would lead to an increased level of Bank support for the ASTAE program. However, ASTAE stressed that there remains a need for donor assistance in project preparation work for alternative energy projects and for additional effort in strengthening the enabling environments in client countries to improve sustainability of alternative energy impacts. It was noted by the donors that ASTAE is starting to look more like a development institution than a purely financial institution. 29. Participants at the Ninth Annual ASTAE Donors’ Meeting included representatives from ASTAE’s key donors—the Netherlands NEDA, UNDP, and USAID. Other attendees included 14 The World Bank Asia Alternative Energy Program (ASTAE) representatives from the Japanese New Energy Development Organization (NEDO), the Japan Bank for International Cooperation, Swiss SECO, the United Kingdom DFID, Canadian CIDA, Asian Development Bank (ADB), and representatives from the Embassies of Britain and New Zealand. Among the observers were representatives from Winrock International, Alternative Energy Development, and Sussex Research Associates. Solar Home In Indonesia Photograph Courtesy of A.

Total ASTAE expenditures in FY00 were $4.1 million. WB financial support of ASTAE accounted for 37 percent of FY00 total expenditures ($1.5 million), with donor support accounting for 63 percent ($2.6 million). WB support for ASTAE reflects the increased demand from WB Country Departments for ASTAE staff support and ASTAE’s mobilization and utilization of WB trust funds and other grant sources. Figure 6 identifies ASTAE expenditures by the two key funding sources — World Bank and Donors. Figure 7 provides a breakdown of ASTAE resource utilization by donor source.

Windfarm in China Photograph Courtesy of S. Piscitello ASTAE in FY01 and Beyond 19 34. ASTAE’s new strategy was presented at the 9th Annual Meeting for donor feedback. The main theme of ASTAE’s new vision is that mainstreaming of alternative energy has been achieved, in that renewable and energy efficiency technologies are now viewed as accepted possible project components within Bank loans. ASTAE’s new strategy is to scale up Alternative Energy development, which can create a direct and immediate link to the Bank’s overall mission of poverty alleviation and growing emphasis on environmental protection, emphasized in all Country Assistance Strategies in the two regions covered by ASTAE and by other parts of the Bank. 35. This new strategic vision will guide the formulation of ASTAE’s three -year business plans, and will have a major impact on ASTAE’s future activities. 36. ASTAE’s future work plan will focus on the following key components:  Successful Implementation  Scale Up Impact of Alternative Energy through Programmatic Approach  Strengthen Enabling Environment in ASTAE Client Countries  Develop Project Pipeline Continued donor support is paramount in developing and implementing this agenda. Successful Implementation 37. ASTAE will continue to provide support for the 14 projects currently under implementation and will provide additional assistance as needed to aid in their successful completion. The following three project loans will reach completion by the end of FY01: India Renewable Resources Development; India Haryana Power Sector Restructuring Project APL I; and the India Andhra Pradesh Integrated Agricultural AIJ Project. 38. The Bank has limited experience in implementing alternative energy projects, thus increasing the importance of continued ASTAE assistance. Additionally, there are large potential benefits from knowledge dissemination based on our experiences in implementing these projects, both within the Asia region and throughout the Bank. Programmatic Approach 39. When ASTAE began its work in 1992, alternative energy was rather new in the World Bank and new for many client countries. Developing a small alternative energy lending operation was a significant achievement. Capacity building was very important but was mainly project based. Because projects were relatively small, they were not able to leverage policy reforms that could benefit all alternative energy projects. 20 The World Bank Asia Alternative Energy Program (ASTAE) 40. The capacity building done in our client countries is only a fraction of what is required to achieve a measurable and lasting impact on increasing both rural access to energy and environmental protection. 41. To make a measurable impact in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and providing remote rural access to modern energy, more and larger alternative energy projects are required. More meaning not only more projects supported by the World Bank and other bilateral and multilateral agencies, but more broadly, more projects that involve the public and private sector domestic investors as well as NGOs and INGOs. This will require the development of broad-based local capacity to develop and implement alternative energy projects. 42. ASTAE is well placed to assist in developing this capacity, but this will require a paradigm shift from working on stand-alone projects to working strategically on a multiproject program basis. The projects will not be ends in themselves, as in the past, but will be seen as vehicles to build capacity and provide the momentum for policy and institutional change and the creation of an enabling environment to sustain the development of alternative energy. A longer-term and more programmatic approach will be adopted by ASTAE, focusing more on broad-based capacity building and creation of an enabling environment, including proper policy and incentive mechanisms. 43. This approach will require ASTAE to focus on selected countries that have significant potential, rather than following up on all project opportunities as was done in the past. This programmatic approach has both the longer time horizon and the flexibility needed to respond to specific market conditions as the alternative energy project infrastructure develops in client countries. A logical consequence of the programmatic approach is that the funding requirement will be larger, which will also provide increased incentives for client countries to adopt appropriate policy and incentive mechanisms to promote alternative energy. Strengthen Enabling Environment in ASTAE Client Countries 44. Large-scale alternative energy development requires that countries establish an institutional, policy, financial and regulatory framework that helps attract capital from international financial institutions, export credit agencies and, most importantly, the domestic and international private sector. This framework or enabling environment would require measures to:  Stimulate the market for electricity or energy savings from alternative energy by:  providing adequate incentives to mobilize investment by public/private entities in alternative energy facilities;  facilitating alternative energy project development, including clear and transparent rules, procedures and approval processes; and  encouraging the development of mature, internationally competitive local manufacturing industries for alternative energy equipment. 45. ASTAE and the WB are well placed to assist client countries to learn from the approaches that have been used in different countries to create an enabling environment for alternative energy, and to adapt existing mechanisms or develop new mechanisms that are suitable to the circumstances of each country. ASTAE in FY01 and Beyond 21 Develop Project Pipeline under Programmatic Approach 46. ASTAE will continue its support in the development of new projects in the energy sector, but will now pursue a programmatic approach when allocating ASTAE resources. The new projects will include both grid-connected and off-grid renewable energy applications, as well as market-based energy efficiency projects. ASTAE will continue its work in promoting alternative energy in non- energy sector applications, including agriculture, health, rural, urban, and water. 47. A new initiative by the WB/GEF, the Strategic Partnership for Renewable Energy Development (see Box 8), will greatly facilitate work on a programmatic basis in this area. This initiative, approved by the GEF Council and the Bank Board in early 1999, seeks to shift efforts from an individual project approach to long-term programmatic pathways, providing developing countries the time and resources required to develop renewable energy markets and technologies in a sustainable way. The Partnership will support eight- to ten-year country programs, and will make available a larger amount of GEF resources, targeting them to building effective bridges to private- sector market development and financing. There will be a one-time GEF program approval, coupled with delegated project approval authority and ex-post reviews, to facilitate processing. ASTAE is supporting the Bank’s preparation of a pilot Partnership in China under the Strategic Par tnership. ASTAE is also developing proposals for a similar program approach for energy efficiency. Box 8: China: World Bank/GEF Renewable Energy Scale-Up Program This project aims to support the GOC Renewable Energy Program to be presented in the 10 th and 11th Five-Year Plans. The objective would be to reduce environmental emissions from coal-fired power generation by developing sustainable commercial markets for electricity from renewable energy. This would be done by creating a mandated large-scale market and reducing costs for mature technologies such as windfarms, small hydroelectricity and biomass. Preliminary discussions indicate that the Partnership would assist the GOC Program in four main ways, by supporting:  implementation of a strategic framework for renewable energy development including policies, laws and regulations needed for the mandatory share/RPS as well as measures needed to make the market work;  actions to reduce the cost of renewable energy and make it competitive, including technology improvement to assist local manufacture of good-quality equipment to reduce cost;  building local capacity for project development and financing as well as efficient operation and maintenance of facilities; and  if necessary, selected demonstration and investment projects that have strategic importance. Conclusions 23 48. Alternative Energy in the Bank. In the recent past the World Bank and ASTAE, in particular, have begun to achieve positive results in alternative energy project development and implementation. It is clear that alternative energy will continue to grow and gain importance. 49. Alternative energy is an area where WB involvement makes a difference and one in which ASTAE’s added value is high. Without the creation of a strategic framework of policies and incentives and without capacity building on a large scale, it is difficult for the private sector to carry out alternative energy investments in the Bank’s client countries. ASTAE’s conti nued involvement can make a real difference by contributing to the formation of a solid sustainable base of local capacity for alternative energy development and by creating an enabling environment. 50. Donor assistance has been essential in helping ASTAE achieve its results to date. The partnership model has proven to be extremely effective in promoting alternative energy within the Bank. Continued donor support is needed to ensure that the gains already achieved are maintained, and that ASTAE can continue its efforts to scale up the impact of alternative energy on poverty alleviation and increased environmental protection. 51. ASTAE remains committed to supporting the development of alternative energy in the Asia region, building on past experience and using new tools available such as the WB/GEF Strategic Partnership Program to scale up the impact of alternative energy on poverty alleviation and environmental protection, in FY01 and beyond.

ASTAE has coordinated a South-South twinning arrangement between Eléctricité du Laos (EdL) and Tenaga Nasional Berhad (the Malaysian electric utility) to provide comprehensive training in utility operations to EdL. ASTAE also helped twin EdL with Tunisia’s Agence pour la Matrise de L’Energie for training in commercial sector energy audits. Total World Bank support for the DSM component was $1.5 million. Board approval date: October 6, 1992; Closing date: June 30, 1999. 2) Thailand Promotion of Electrical Energy Efficiency, Loan 3598-TH, GEF Grants 28637 & 21221-TH This project provided support for the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand’s (EGAT’s) implementation of a five-year DSM demonstration program. The project created considerable momentum in promoting efficient electricity consumption through utility-sponsored DSM programs and public education. EGAT’s Demand-Side Management Office (DSMO) launched over 17 efficiency programs in areas such as lighting, appliances, industrial/commercial buildings and load management. ASTAE’s initial evaluation of the program revealed that the DSMO exceeded its savings target of 238 MW in load reduction by 234%, and achieved 558 MW in avoided capacity through improved efficiency gains. The energy savings from this program avoided an estimated 2.3 million tons of CO2 emissions. Total WB/GEF support for the DSM component was $9.5 million, although $1.5 million of this was later allocated to the Thailand Metropolitan Distribution Reinforcement Project. Board approval date: April 27, 1993; Closing date extended to June 30, 2000. 3) Indonesia Second Rural Electrification (REII), Loan 3845-IND This project provided support for PLN’s least-cost rural electrification program, which included renewable energy generation components. Among the objectives of the project was the establishment of incentives for private sector and local cooperatives to take an increasingly larger share of RE distribution and renewable energy development within the framework of a least cost RE Master Plan. ASTAE supervised the preparation, appraisal, and supervision of the small geothermal and grid-connected mini-hydro components. Private participation in small power generation was supported by the issuance of regulations and letters of awards, announcement of purchase tariffs, but the financial crisis in 1997 prevented further progress. The mini-hydro projects (7.8 MW) were commissioned at about 14 percent below estimated cost. PLN prepared additional mini-hydro and mini-geothermal projects with an aggregate capacity of about 30 MW for future assistance, but no follow-up investment was made on account of the negative impact of the financial crisis. Total WB lending for the renewable energy components of this project was $20.5 million.
