Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? No Components Table Name Rehabilitation of Selected Distribution Circuits and Upgrading of Metering Systems - Implementation of Environmental Management System:(Cost $103.63 M) Citizen Engagement and Community Participation:(Cost $4.56 M) Commercial Management and Project Management, Monitoring and Evaluation of the Distribution Grid Modernization and Electrical Losses Reduction Program:(Cost $11.20 M) Complementary Tariff Study:(Cost $0.35 M) Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO Satisfactory Moderately Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) Moderately Satisfactory Moderately Satisfactory Overall Risk Rating Moderate Moderate Implementation Status and Key Decisions The project has been under full implementation. Physical completion of rehabilitation of the circuits is currently at 75,5% with one (1) 24 hour service circuit completed in the North of the country by EDE Norte. Given that the Closing Date of the Project is December 31, 2020, the Development Objectives of the Project can only be achieved with an extension of the Closing Date.. 6/29/2020 Page 1 of 6 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Distribution Grid Modernization and Loss Reduction Project (P147277) Rehabilitation works for the remaining 17 circuits were suspended from March 19 onwards due to the State of Emergency resulting from the Covid-19 Pandemic. Work will resume depending on the evolution of the COVID-19 Pandemic. It should be noted that all 18 Social Compacts have been signed between the EDEs and the communities to reflect agreements reached on the number of hours of electricity that the EDEs will deliver per day and the legalization of illegal users and payment of the electricity bills by the clients. The Complementary Tariff Study under Component 4 of the project has been completed and a working session was held with a World Bank expert and the SIE and energy stakeholders to impart knowledge on international best practices and determine ways in which such practices can be aligned to the tariff reform in the Dominican Republic.
