Nepal Village Micro Hydro Project (TF90264) 84651 Implementation Completion and Results Report Preparation for Phase 1 Mission December 2 - 6, 2013 Aide Memoire INTRODUCTION 1. This Aide Memoire summarizes results of the implementation completion and results (ICR) report preparation for phase 1 mission on the Nepal Village Micro Hydro Project (NVMHP), carried out from December 2 to 6, 2013. Several meetings with officials of Alternative Energy Promotion Centre (AEPC) were held and a field visit to Malekhu Khola micro hydro power plant in Mahadevsthan, Dhading District was made on December 4, 2013. A list of the people met is attached in Annex A. The World Bank (WB) team1 expresses its appreciation for the time taken by all participants collaborating to this mission. As agreed at the wrap-up meeting with AEPC held on December 6, 2013, this Aide Memoire would be classified as a public document under the World Bank’s Access to Information Policy. 2. The NVMHP was approved by the WB on June 30, 2007 as a carbon offset project, and its Project Development Objectives (PDO) are to (i) reduce global emissions of carbon dioxide, and (ii) increase access to modern energy from renewable energy sources. The project has a single component, Micro Hydro Program, which obtains Certified Emission Reduction (CER) from 450 Micro Hydropower Plants (MHPs) having total generation capacity of 14,971kW constructed under Rural Energy Development Programme (REDP)/ Renewable Energy for Rural Livelihood (RERL) 2 , Energy Sector Assistance Programme (ESAP)3, and National Rural and Renewable Energy Program (NRREP) 4. The project has been registered with the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) on October 18, 2010 and the post registration changes to the project were approved (or “Revised Emission Reduction Monitoring Plan” and “Post Registration Changes to Project Design” were cleared) by UNFCCC on November 18, 2013. To measure precise amount of generated electricity (or amount of CER) by each MHP, energy meter (EM) procurement and installation have been executing using Power Development Project (PDP) and NRREP funds since 2011. 3. The NVMHP is conducted in two phases: Phase 1 (from June 30, 2007 to June 30, 2014/tentative) - Implementation Phase (from the Emission Reductions Purchase Agreement (ERPA) effectiveness to the project completion) by South Asia Sustainable Development Energy (SASDE) and Phase 2 (from July 1, 2014/tentative to December 15, 2015) - Monitoring Phase (from the project completion to the ERPA termination) by Carbon Finance Unit of Climate Policy and Finance Department (CPFCF). Currently, the project is at the final stage of the Phase 1 with the construction completion of 401MHPs out of 450 MHPs and the verification scheduled to be completed by April 2014. 4.

REDP was a joint initiative of UNDP and the World Bank (under the Power Development Project (PDP) after 2004) and 3 transformed to Renewable Energy for Rural Livelihood (RERL) by UNDP after 2011. 4 ESAP has been financially supported by the Government of Nepal, Denmark, Norway, KfW/Germany, and UK/DFID. NRREP is financed by Denmark, Norway, KfW/Germany, UK/DFID, ADB, and WB. -1- SUMMARY OF KEY ISSUES Completion of Project Restructuring for Project Monitoring Indicators 5. The project restructuring was executed and approved by the WB on November 21, 2013 to validate revised PDO indicators and intermediate results (IR) indicators as follows: PDO Indicators (1) Emission Reduction (tCO2/year) (2) Number of Electrification Project Executed (projects/year) (3) Generation Capacity of Hydropower Constructed (kW/year) (4) Number of Households Electrified (households/year) IR Indicators (1) Number of Energy Meter Installed (meters/year) (2) Amount of Electricity Generated (kWh/year) 6. Baseline, target value, and achievements after 2007 for each of PDO indicators and IR indicators are summarized in Annex B. The Phase 1 of this project is monitored using PDO indicators (2), (3), and (4)5 and IR indicators (1) and (2); the Phase 2 will be using PDO indicator (1) and IR indicator (2). Achievement of Project Development Objective 7. The achievement of PDO (i) “reduce global emissions of carbon dioxide” will be monitored and evaluated during the Phase 2 of this project, according to the methodologies specified in the verification. Currently shown values for the PDO indicator (1) in Annex B were estimated by using assumptions from the Project Design Document (PDD), and thus these values will be replaced by numbers estimated by using actual EM reading data after the verification (or in the Phase 2). 8. The PDO (ii) “increase access to modern energy from renewable energy sources” has been well achieved based on the PDO indicators (2), (3), and (4): the generation capacity of hydropower constructed is 12,125kW (or 81% of target value of 14,971kW); the number of households electrified is 119,388 (or 82% of target value of 146,521); and the number of electrification project executed is 401 (or 89% of target value of 450). Since the PDO (ii) will be mostly achieved by December 2013, this project will be ready to shift from the Phase 1 to the Phase 2. 9. The rating for achievement of PDO was upgraded to Moderately Satisfactory, because establishment of a system to obtaining stable amount of CER and claim for the payments has been in progress: the post registration changes (or revised monitoring plan) to the project were approved on November 18, 2013 and preparation of the verification process has started. Mandatory reports overdue, “Annual Progress Report (APR)” for 2010, 2011 and 2012 (due at the end of each fiscal year), were submitted on June 28, 2013. The EMs were installed in most of constructed MHPs (386EMs were installed among 401MHPs constructed), establishment of reliable energy meter reading system from each MHP to AEPC has been in progress, and the surveys for Safeguards Compliance (SC) and Community Benefits (CB) by hiring consultants were completed. Therefore, achievement of PDO (i) has been mostly secured. CURRENT IMPLEMENTATION STATUS Construction of Micro Hydro Power Plants 10. As of the end of November 2013, among 450 MHPs selected to claim CER for this carbon offset project, 401 MHPs (with capacity of 12,125kW) were completed: 202 MHPs (6,401kW) among 235 MHPs (8,383kW) by ESAP, and 199 MHPs (5,724kW) among 215 MHPs (6,588kW) by REDP/RERL. All the rest of 49 MHPs with 2,845kW (33 MHPs with 1,981kW by NRREP and 16 MHPs with 864kW 5 PDO indicators for the Phase 1 of this project are aligned with the AEPC components in the PDP. -2- by REDP/RERL) are under construction. Among them, 16 MHPs (732kW) are scheduled to be completed by December 2013; while, the rest of 33 MHPs (2,113kW) will be completed by June 2014. Installation of Energy Meters 11. Using the PDP fund, 237 EMs were procured by AEPC in 2011. Among them, 227 EMs were installed in MHPs by December 2011, but 4 EMs would be relocated to the other 4 MHPs: because of permanent shut-down of the originally installed 4 MHPs; due to managerial problems; and/or the national distribution lines extended to the villages. Additional 220 EMs6 (including 7 spare EMs) were procured in 2013, and 163 EMs were installed to MHPs by November 2013. The rest of 64 EMs (including the 4 EMs need to be relocated) will be installed according to the MHPs construction by June 2014. Collection of Energy Meter Reading Data 12. AEPC has been collecting data of generated electricity volume (to calculate amount of CER) from 158 MHPs where EMs were installed. The EM reading (kWh) has been recorded in paper form at same time every day by the operator at each of the 158 MHP. Then, the data in paper form have been reported from the operators to District Energy and Environment Unit/Section (DEEU/DEES) and Regional Service Center (RSC) once a month. DEEU/DEES and RSC have coded them in electronic form (in Excel sheet) and have sent the Excel sheets to AEPC every six month. Finally, AEPC has compiled all EM reading data in their database electronically and prepared monitoring report once a year. 13. During this review, the WB team confirmed that all EM reading data submitted from DEEU/DEES and RSC were properly filed and compiled in the database in AEPC. The WB team also reviewed the EM reading data from October 2011 to November 2013, submitted by AEPC. It was confirmed that the EM reading data from approximately 158 MHPs (among 386 MHPs having EMs) were actually received by AEPC. AEPC observed that the slow progress of EM data collection was due to delay of selection and recruitment of local staff and confusion with regards to continuation of RERL/REDP. In 2012, AEPC provided one day training session for the EM reading and recording to all operators for MHPs where EMs were installed by December 2011. AEPC is planning to provide additional training programs in 2014 to the operators for the MHPs where EMs were installed in 2013 (or after January 2012). 14. AEPC has started piloting a real time EM monitoring system (NRs 80,000/MHP including installation cost) that allows AEPC to manage and collect EM reading data directly from installed EM to each MHP without any intervention of operators, DEEU/DEES (now called District Energy, Environment, and Climate Change Section or DEECCS), and RSC. The real time EM monitoring system has been installed in 28 MHPs in order for AEPC to operate this system by a centralized web-software since November 2013. The system will be installed in total of 35 MHPs by January 2014. AEPC will formally adopt this system (by February 2014) once it is confirmed fully functional and will selectively implement at MHPs where telecommunication network is strong enough to transmit data through the network. 15. The equipment for a real time monitoring system does not require any regular maintenance at the MHP site, unless the centralized web-based software detects any errors or meters not responding through its automatic alarming system. The mission team visited the Malekhu Khola MHP (26 kW) site where this system has been installed and confirmed that operator at the site was able to manage that system easily; while, he still continued to record reading data in the logbook for the sake of cross-checking. The team suggested AEPC and the engineering team for a real time monitoring system to include more information (if possible) at individual MHP level, such as specifications of facilities, blue prints, photos, demographic data, customers’ data, operators’ information, among others, so that the software itself can be widely used as the GIS Data Base of the MHPs during the phase 2. Surveys for Safeguard Compliance and Community Benefits 16. According to the agreed schedule in the Implementation Review and Support Mission (IRSM) in June 2013, AEPC completed the surveys for SC and CB in the field by hiring consultants using NRREP fund. On December 5, 2013, the consultants made a presentation to the WB team regarding results of the SC and CB surveys, and the WB team provided final comments on this study. Submission of the final 6 Among 220 EMs additionally procured, 200EMs were purchased by the PDP fund and the rest of 20 EMs were by NRREP. -3- report from the consultants will be on January 20, 2014 (two months behind the schedule). “Safeguard Assessments Report (SAR) for MHPs” and “Community Benefit Monitoring Report” (due on November 30, 2013) will be submitted to the WB team from AEPC by January 22, 2014, based on the SC and CB surveys results. Report Preparation 17. There were mandatory reports overdue: APR for 2010, 2011, and 2012 (due at the end of each fiscal year); and SAR for MHPs (due on November 30, 2013). AEPC submitted the APRs on June 28, 2013, which consist of (i) construction progress for each of 450 MHPs (including location, generation capacity, completion date, number of households electrified, and fund source); (ii) construction schedule for the MHPs not completed; (iii) EMs installation progress; and (iv) monthly generated electricity (kWh) for each of MHPs after EM installation. 18. AEPC agreed to submit a first draft carbon emission reduction monitoring report (MR) to the WB team for review by January 10, 2014, followed by the Designated Operational Entity (DOE)’s verification. Post Registration Change (PRC) was approved by the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) Executive Board, UNFCCC on November 18, 2013 prior to the preparation of the MR. This PRC allows AEPC to apply for a fall back option7 as a conservative mean in case EMs are either not installed, lately installed, meters not functioning or log books are not maintained properly. 19. During preparation of the MR, AEPC will ensure to cross check MHP users’ committee records, in case a number of missing data and fluctuation in meter reading are detected in MHP’s operator logbook and a fall back option needs to be adopted during the monitoring period. COMPLIANCE REVIEW Procurement and Disbursement 20. The WB is a trustee of Community Development Carbon Fund, and AEPC is a project entity. AEPC sells CERs, obtained by operating MHPs, to the WB according to the ERPA. Costs for the MHPs construction by REDP/RERL and procurement of 437 EMs8 in the Phase 1 of the NVMHP were provided by Rural Electrification Component (or AEPC Component) of the PDP. Therefore, there will be no disbursement during the phase 1 of the NVMHP. Budget for the NVMHP will be used to purchase CERs from AEPC during the phase 2. The total amount purchased is 191,220 CERs (as shown in the ERPA), which will be disbursed during the phase 2 after the project transfer following completion of Phase 1. The disbursement plans will be prepared by the deal manager for the Phase 2. The first disbursement is scheduled after July 2014. Social and Environmental Safeguards 21. The necessary basic information to get withheld amount by the trustee with a condition to satisfy community benefits, such as reduction of energy cost, time saving and alternative usage, and increasing of employment opportunities during construction and operation, were collected by the SC and CB surveys. 22. The surveys also identified areas need to be focused in the planned detailed investigation to revise Social and Environment Management Guidelines, such as re-plantation, spoiled soil management, water flow measurement to downstream, occupational health and safety measures, benefits to vulnerable communities, land acquisition, compensation, and employment opportunities for land donors. The study also brought out the good practice of negotiated land taking for the sub project. The Vulnerable Community Development Plan (VCDP) has been prepared and implemented for each MHP project. 7 Energy consumption by HHs connected to MHPs will be determined by multiplying a conservative electricity consumption factor of 27 kWh/month/HH with the number of HHs and then adjusted by technical distribution loss by 10%. 8 In total 457 EMs were procured: 437 by PDP and 20 by NRREP. -4- KEY ISSUES IN IMPLEMENTATION Verification Process and Schedule 23.

The mission team provided samples of an ICR report for carbon finance project Phase 1 and a BCR for AEPC’s reference. AEPC agreed to prepare their BCR for the NVMHP Phase 1 by January 31, 2014. 25. All necessary data/information to prepare the ICR report were collected by the WB team during the mission period according to the check list attached in Annex C. The WB team will prepare the first draft of the WB's ICR Report for the Phase 1 by February 28, 2014. Request for Financial Support to Technical Assistant Studies 26. AEPC requested the WB team for the financial support to two studies through the technical assistant (TA) for rural electrification component under the Kabeli Transmission Project: (1) Technical Support to Enhance MHPs Sustainability According to the WB team’s recommendations included in the aide memoire for IRSM in June 2013, AEPC execute quality assurance investigation for all 450 MHPs in the NVMHP by the in- house investigation team. The team consists of a civil engineer, a mechanical engineer, an electrical engineer, an electricity business management expert, and a safeguards expert, who can diagnose/evaluate the current power facilities from technical point of views, make judgment to necessary technical renovation/maintenance, evaluate organizational and financial sustainability of each micro hydro electrification scheme, and revise social and environmental guidelines based on analysis of the filed collected safeguards data. (2) MHPs Project Impact Study AEPC assess impacts of MHPs development in rural area by analyzing collected data from all MHP sites supported by PDP. 27. AEPC will submit proposals and cost estimates for these studies to the WB by January 22, 2014. -5- NEXT MISSION Proposed Timing and Focus 28. The next WB mission, consisting of the WB Group Team Leaders for Phases 1 and 2, is scheduled in February 2014.
