Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? No Components Table Name Large-scale biogas facilities management and renewable energy supply:(Cost $132.10 M) Technical support, project management and monitoring:(Cost $5.80 M) Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO Moderately Satisfactory Moderately Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) Moderately Satisfactory Moderately Satisfactory Overall Risk Rating Moderate Moderate Implementation Status and Key Decisions In general, project implementation has progressed well over the past year. Three biogas production facilities have now been installed and operationalized, while two other facilities are in the late stages of construction. The project technical design has been improved through the recent project restructuring, with a view to adapt to changing market needs and to increase subproject productivity. From trial operation, around 7.95 million cubic meters of biogas have been produced by the project by October 31, 2020, with around 77,020 ton of livestock waste and around 35,040 ton of crop residue having been treated and converted to gas; and around 5,837 households have been given access to the use of biogas for cooking and heating. As the implementation progress of subprojects has been uneven and some procurement is still in the bidding process, there is a need to speed-up the relevant procurement and construction work. With the strong joint efforts of the project agencies and subproject companies, it is expected that all the project construction work will be completed in June 2021 and that the biogas facility will reach the full production capacity by the end of 2021 before the project is scheduled to close. 12/23/2020 Page 1 of 6 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Hebei Rural Renewable Energy Development Project (P132873) Risks Systematic Operations Risk-rating Tool Risk Category Rating at Approval Previous Rating Current Rating Political and Governance -- Low Low Macroeconomic -- Low Low Sector Strategies and Policies -- Moderate Moderate Technical Design of Project or Program -- Moderate Moderate Institutional Capacity for Implementation and -- Moderate Moderate Sustainability Fiduciary -- Moderate Moderate Environment and Social -- Moderate Moderate Stakeholders -- Moderate Moderate Other -- -- -- Overall -- Moderate Moderate Results PDO Indicators by Objectives / Outcomes Stable Biogas Production and supply by the project IN00924543 ►Amount of project-supplied biogas used by final users annually (Cubic Meter(m3), Custom) Baseline Actual (Previous) Actual (Current) End Target Value 0.00 21,839,621.00 7,950,270.00 37,000,000.00 Date 31-Dec-2014 31-May-2020 31-Oct-2020 31-Dec-2021 The value reported in the last ISR was incorrect.
