This developmental objective is to be achieved by: (a) implementinga WAPP Cooperation Agreement to facilitate enhanced cross-border power exchanges between the four concerned Transmission System Operators (TSOs), namely CEB, CIE, NEPA and VU; and (b) establishing and fully deploying the cross-border electricity transfer capabilities of the proposed 330kV WAPP Coastal Transmission Backbone. Outcomes The expected outcomes include: 1. Increasing cross-border electricity trade between WAPP "Zone A" Coastal States; 2. Reductions in power transfer losses in the principal transmission networks of the WAPP "Zone A" coastal states; 3. More cost efficient coverage of peak power demand through economy power exchanges between WAPP "Zone A" coastal states. Public Disclosure Copy The WAPP APL 1 project would be considered successful if it provides ample capacity for unconstrained cross-border electricity trade between the five ECOWAS Member States for up to at least 2020. Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project? Yes No Page 1 of 5 The World Bank Report No: ISR10070 Component(s) Component Name Component Cost Infrastructure Development 34.60 Public Disclosure Copy Upgrade of System Control Centers 16.20 Upgrade of Strategic Power Generation Stations 6.40 WAPP Institutional Capacity Building 7.40 Overall Ratings Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO Moderately Unsatisfactory Moderately Unsatisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) Satisfactory Satisfactory Overall Risk Rating Implementation Status Overview Physical Progress of Construction: The Aboadze-Volta 330 kV transmission line and substations were completed in late 2009 and have been energized. Although this line alone cannot meet the initial objective of the project, to increase cross-border power transfer capability, the energization of the T-line has reduced the need for reactive power in the Ghana power system and has improved voltage levels and supply to greater Accra. The SCADA/EMS upgrading component has been completed and equipment installation in the new Gridco control centre was finished in February 2013. The expected outcome of this component is to improve monitoring and control of power exchanges in the WAPP system. The upgrade of the switchyards of Akosombo generation station and Volta substation is virtually completed. Delays have been experienced due to inability of the contractor to work at a sustained pace since the necessary outages were difficult to arrange at a time of national load shedding. The estimated completion date is June 2013. A small undisbursed balance of about US$1m is expected at the time of Credit closing (30 June 2013). The project completion report will be prepared once the remaining segments of the 330kV coastal backbone to Nigeria have been completed under Phase 2 of this APL.
