US/NRECA National Rural Electric Cooperation Association US/NREL National Renewable Energy Laboratory USAID U.S. Agency for International Development USDOE U.S. Department of Energy USTDA U.S. Trade and Development Agency WB World Bank With this milestone achieved, ASTAE is reviewing its program strategy to ensure that its overall objectives and individual country strategies are in line with the larger business strategies of the East Asia Energy and Mining Sector Development Unit (EASEG), the new East Asia Infrastructure Unit (EASIN), and the Bank as a whole. To accomplish this, a management review of the program, its accomplishments and its alignment with other activities within the Bank has been undertaken by East Asia Pacific Region management. Results of this review are expected to be available in time to guide ASTAE’s planning for FY04. The portfolio of power sector projects with alternative energy (AE) components in the Bank’s South Asia and East Asia Pacific regions has grown steadily during the past decade. In FY02 there were 23 operations ( 5 completed and 18 under implementation) which included AE either as a stand-alone project, or as a component of a project, or as an analytical work related to AE. Bank/GEF provided financing of about US$ 640 million towards the costs of these 23 operations. Upon completion of the 18 operations under implementation, it is estimated that renewable energy and energy efficiency would substitute respectively about 570 MW and 720 MW of fossil fuel–fired generation capacity and provide electricity to an estimated 660,000 rural households that would otherwise lack access to modern energy services (see Annex 3). In addition, there are about 16 AE operations projects in the pipeline of the Bank’s work program for FY03-FY05, with an indicative amount of Bank/GEF financing of US$320 million towards the costs of these 16 operations (see Annexes 1 and 2 for project details). In part as a result of ASTAE’s support, South and East Asia have the strongest alternative energy portfolio in the Bank. Through implementation of these projects ASTAE also contributes to critical knowledge and capacity, including alternative energy business development, new methodologies for economic evaluation and improvements in the overall quality and effectiveness of alternative energy equipment and systems through development and promulgation of codes and standards. 2 _____________________________________________________________________________________ ASTAE, having accomplished its original objective of building a 10% market share for alternative energy within the overall Asian power sector lending pipeline, needs a new strategic objective. Furthermore, over the ten year life of the ASTAE program the Bank, the energy sector, the East Asia and Pacific and South Asia Regions, and ASTAE itself have all seen considerable change. Noteworthy changes and developments over the past several years that affect ASTAE and its role within the Bank include:  Energy sector lending as a share of total IFC and IBRD/IDA activity has fallen from 12% in FY97 to 8% in FY02. Over the same period, the Sector Board’s new energy sector strategy has reoriented lending priorities towards four key objectives - direct poverty alleviation, environmental sustainability, macro/fiscal stabilization, and governance/private sector development - all of which are highly compatible with alternative energy investment. Expectations are that with a resumption of growth in EAP Region, the energy portfolio will improve beginning in FY03.  Beginning in FY’98, ASTAE was integrated with the operations of the East Asia Energy and Mining Sector Development Unit (EASEG). In this context the issues of costs associated with managing ASTAE, the staffing, and the skill mix need to be addressed as part of the operational framework of the EASEG/EAP.  At the end of FY02, the South Asia Energy & Infrastructure Sector Unit (SASEI) decided to disengage from ASTAE program. This decision was based on the Region’s recognition that the prospects for economically rational and sustainable expansion of AE in South Asian countries depend primarily on the reform of sector policies, requiring a refocusing of work in the AE sector, and a re-evaluation of the usefulness of alternative sources of financial and technical support for this work.  Additional opportunities and responsibilities due to growth of the Prototype Carbon Fund (PCF) which offers support to projects that reduce greenhouse gases;  Ongoing changes and evolution in the needs and orientation of bilateral and multilateral donors which may affect future ASTAE funding; and  Emerging initiatives, such as the Global Village Energy Partnership and the Millennium Development Goals for health, education, sanitation and potable water, which will likely create additional new opportunities. 3 _____________________________________________________________________________________ As the result of the above, EASEG decided to undertake a management review of the ASTAE program. The objective of the review is to develop a medium term strategy and business plan for the next phase of the ASTAE program, consistent with the Bank’s corporate priorities and budget constraints, taking into account donors special requirements, and yet maintain the key advantage of the ASTAE which is to respond quickly to emerging requests. Although the review is underway as of this writing, the expected outputs are: (a) a brief review of the performance of ASATE in the past; (b) assessment of the future role of ASTAE in the development of AE in the Region; and (c) the continued need for ASTAE –type program.   4 _____________________________________________________________________________________ Operations with AE components have grown significantly over the past several years. The reasons for this rapid growth include: (1) relevance to the Bank’s mission of poverty alleviation and growing emphasis on environmental protection; (2) financial support from the GEF and multilateral and bilateral donors; (3) rapid evolution of alternative energy technology and applications; and (4) demand by client countries. ASTAE has been able to capitalize on this convergence by developing a set of interventions and assistance activities that have helped develop the lending pipeline for alternative energy investments. ASTAE’s approach has recognized that, even though most alternative energy technologies have been commercially proven, other factors – sector history, conditions of use, barriers to market entry, regulatory regimes – determine when economically viable applications can be developed into an investment pipeline. Each alternative energy market application, including such large investment pipelines as small hydro for rural electrification and commercial energy management, were established only after country-specific preparatory work at the sector and project level were completed. ASTAE’s two-step strategy for mainstreaming alternative energy, depicted in Figure 1, first supports creation of the market and institutional conditions in which early alternative energy investment can take place and then, once early markets have been created, assists these markets to grow via a progression of projects of increasing scale.

The ASTAE-supported portfolio of alternative energy projects under implementation or preparation for the entire program duration FY93-04 now totals 39 renewable energy and energy efficiency projects in 12 countries in Asia, including total projected Bank/GEF commitments of US$960 million. Through June 30, 2002 ASTAE has supported the development of 23 alternative energy components/projects/initiatives that have been approved by the Board (15 under implementation, eight closed), totaling $640 million in Bank/GEF support. These projects represent significant investments in alternative energy by the private sector, commercial banks, local governments, and bilateral and multilateral institutions (see Figures 3 and 4 and Annexes 1 and 2 for details of the project portfolio).1 1 Two additional projects – China Energy Conservation II and Vietnam DSM – have been approved in FY03 as of this writing. 6 _____________________________________________________________________________________ ASTAE is also supporting project preparation work for 16 additional alternative energy components/projects/initiatives, including World Bank/GEF support of over $320 million. A summary of the ASTAE-supported alternative energy portfolio is presented in Table 1. The timelines of each of the projects described below is shown in Figure 3 and additional detail provided in Annex 1. ASTAE-Supported World Bank/GEF Investment Projects ASTAE Resources 1992–2001 (FY93–04) 39 projects in preparation, under implementation or Funds mobilized $31.8 million completed Funds disbursed $27.7 million 8 projects have been completed or closed (4 EAP; 4 SA) 15 projects under implementation (10 EAP; 5 SA) 16 projects under preparation (12 EAP; 4 SA) 3 new projects (all EAP) entered preparation or implementation Total Bank/GEF assistance for alternative energy of ~$0.96 billion; Avoided capacity of 1.3 GW for completed projects and projects under implementation. Number of households provided access: 500,000 The renewable energy components of the System Efficiency Improvement, Equitization & Renewables Project (Vietnam) moved from “in preparation” to “under implementation” status during FY02. In addition, Hebei Urban Environmental Project (China) joined the list of investment projects with alternative energy components that have benefited from ASTAE support. A total of twelve project components were under preparation during FY02, including several large efforts such as China’s Energy Conservation II and the China Renewable Energy Scale-Up Project (CRESP). Two new mid-sized ASTAE-supported projects entered project preparation – Mongolia Rural Infrastructure Services and Philippines System Loss Reduction. 7 _____________________________________________________________________________________ Vietnam The System Efficiency Improvement, Equitization & Renewables Project (SEIER) was approved by the Board in June 2002. This lending project will be the first of at least two projects spanning a ten-year period that will support realizing Vietnam’s Renewable Energy Action Plan (REAP), developed by the Ministry of Industry (MOI) with Bank assistance (ASTAE and ESMAP) and adopted in 2001.2 The SEIER is also one of only two projects that includes both a renewables and an energy efficiency component. The REAP complements other GOV initiatives including: (a) a major push to provide electricity to all rural households; (b) a policy statement on Rural Electrification adopted in 2000 that states the intention to include grid-connected and off-grid technologies as appropriate. The SEIER Project incorporates components supporting implementation of the first Phase of the REAP. The Bank is committed to further supporting Phase 2 of the REAP through the planned Rural Energy 2 Project, now in preparation. China The Hebei Urban Environmental Project was actually approved in December 1995, but it gained ASTAE support during FY02. This project, which provides investment funds for the water and wastewater sector in China, presents an opportunity for ASTAE support to a cross-sectoral (water-energy) linkage. It is described in detail in Box 1 below. Another important cross-sectoral project (health-energy), Passive Solar Heating for Rural Health Clinics, began implementation in FY02. The Bank/GEF China Energy Conservation Project, approved in 1998, established three pilot energy management companies (EMCs) to test more market-oriented mechanisms to implement commercial energy efficiency projects in commercial and industrial enterprises. Since then, these companies have successfully demonstrated that energy performance contracting is viable in the Chinese context and have developed their respective businesses accordingly. As of December 2002, these companies have entered into over US$60 million in signed energy performance contracts and saved over 1.2 million tons of coal equivalent (tce). The three EMCs plan to enter into an estimated 62 new performance contracts in 2003 with a total estimated investment of about $21.0 million. 2 See “Vietnam Renewable Energy Action Plan”, Hanoi, July, 2001, Ministry of Industry, Electricity of Vietnam, ASTAE/ESMAP available from the Infoshop or on ASTAE Website. 8 _____________________________________________________________________________________ Although the China Renewable Energy Development Project (REDP) was approved by the World Bank Board in May 1999, the project only became effective in FY02 (December 2001) after the project was restructured by dropping 170 MW of the initial 190 MW wind capacity and reducing the World Bank loan from US$100 million to US$13 million. Another project that remained in preparation throughout FY02 was the China Renewable Energy Scale-Up Project CRESP. Moving this large project from preparation to readiness for Board approval has required a continued policy dialogue to convince policy makers that large- scale renewable energy development calls for new policies and approaches are needed that reflect the broader transition from a centrally planned to a market economy. Box 1: ASTAE Support to Cross-Sectoral Projects in China China’s economic growth over the last decade has been mirrored by water demand increases and consequent water shortages in several areas. To serve this growing demand, China is rapidly expanding its municipal water and wastewater treatment systems to increase supply of potable water and reduce pollution load in existing resources. Wastewater treatment capacity is expected to double between 2000 and 2005, and is expected to increase four-fold over the next 20 years The current time period can be viewed as a transition phase for the Chinese water supply and waste water utilities, as tariffs for municipal services do not yet cover cost of supply and government subsidies are still required. There is pressure to improve financial viability and improve quality of service, but the options available to water sector managers to do so are limited. While tariff reform is proceeding and future revenues are expected to increase, the utilities are also facing the high probability that their operating costs will go up as the electricity sector is restructured and energy charges increase to reflect true cost of supply As energy is one of the largest operating costs of water supply provision and wastewater treatment (estimated at 20-50% of yearly operating costs), reducing consumption through improved efficiency can play a critical role in improving the current financial viability of the municipal enterprise, as well as improving future profitability. Within this context, and based on its experience in other countries, ASTAE financed an investigation of the potential for developing a pilot cross-sector initiative to improve energy efficiency at selected water supply and wastewater utilities in China. Reconnaissance missions were undertaken at several utilities in Hebei Province in 2001 and 2002 to identify potential energy saving investments to reduce operating costs, while providing additional environmental benefits. The ASTAE support effort identified several areas where good potential for cost effective efficiency improvements could be made, and is engaging in follow-up efforts to complete detailed feasibility studies which will likely lead to subsequent investments in efficiency supported through the ongoing Bank Hebei Urban Environment project loan.

Box 2 describes both the lending and non-lending support that the ASTAE program provided for this project. A new GEF project, System Loss Reduction, began formal preparation in FY02. Details on projects under implementation in Indonesia, Laos, and Thailand can be found in Annex 2. Detailed descriptions of all projects – closed, under implementation, or under preparation – can be found in Annex 3. Box 2: Integrating Stand-alone Renewable Energy Options into Rural Electrification Policy & Programs: Philippines Rural Power Project The Government of the Philippines has embarked upon an aggressive rural electrification program Village electrification is entering the last and most expensive stage in terms of investment and cost of operation per connected consumer. Electrification through grid extension is expected to be the least cost solution for about 70% of the unelectrified villages during the period 2001-2006. For the remaining villages, the government has recognized that decentralized service supply options must be found, with renewable energy having the potential for being the least-cost, off-grid options in many instances. The government has recognized that even when all villages are electrified, over 1 million rural households would yet not get access to electricity as they are too expensive to connect to the gird. These households would have to receive services from off-grid and mini-grid sources. Under the Electric Power Reform Act of 2001, the government has established a Universal Charge on electricity consumption which would be used to supplement the cost of providing electricity to villages and household that are not viable to be served by the grid (non-viable areas). The government is required to prepare annually, a Missionary Electrification Development Program which details the use of the Universal Charge Funds. ASTAE assisted in developing the least economic cost planning tool to be used to identify such non-viable areas and trained Electric Cooperative and National Electrification Administration staff in using this screening and planning tool. Under the proposed 12-14 year Rural Power Adaptable Loan Program (APL), about 160,000 households are expected to receive electricity from stand-alone and mini-grid renewable energy sources. ASTAE supported the preparation of the stand-alone PV component of the Rural Power APL. ASTAE organized a workshop in Manila between key Sri Lankans involved in the Energy Services Delivery Project and Philippines renewable energy companies, development and micro finance banks, and the government to share the lessons learned from the highly successful ESD project. This South-South exchange assisted the Filipinos design the stand- alone component of the Rural Power Project by building on the Sri Lankan experiences. ASTAE in partnership with the Solar Development Foundation is also assisting in conducting a market survey among rural unelectrified households to assess their willingness to pay for electricity services and to estimate the size of the potential market. This information will be provided to participating PV companies who will adopt a commercially-based approach to marketing and servicing PV systems in these non-viable areas. 10 _____________________________________________________________________________________ There were significant changes in the South Asia project pipeline in FY02. The$300 million India Renewable Resources Development Project closed in December 2001. Three additional projects – Sri Lanka Renewable Energy for Rural Economic Development (RERED), Bangladesh Rural Electrification and Renewable Energy Development, and Uttar Pradesh Water Sector (India)were all approved by the Board and began project implementation. The Bangladesh project is described in detail in Box 3. As discussed earlier, the Sri Lanka project represents one of several “second generation” ASTAE-assisted projects in which earlier alternative energy investment was substantially scaled up - from $55 million for the earlier Energy Services Delivery project to $133.7 million for RERED project. Four projects remained in preparation at the end of FY02, including Improving Energy Efficiency in Agricultural Pump-sets and Enhancing Access Through Off-Grid Electrification in Rajasthan, India Climate Change and Nepal Power Development. The first of these was scheduled for closure at the end of calendar 02. At the end of FY02, discussions were underway at the end of FY02 were underway on the possible consolidation, restructuring of Rajasthan and Climate Change projects. Further, Madya Pradesh Water Sector Restructuring is also under preparation. Details on projects under implementation in India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Nepal can be found in Annex 2. Detailed descriptions of all projects – closed, under implementation, or under preparation – can be found in Annex 3. Box 3: Bangladesh Rural Electrification and Renewable Energy Development Project The Project’s aim is to support Bangladesh’s efforts to raise levels of social development and economic growth by increasing access to electricity in rural areas, where 85 percent of the country’s nearly 63 million poor people live. The Alternative energy components include support to the Rural Electrification Board (REB) for a Solar Program operated by the Rural Electric Cooperatives or Palli Bidyut Samitis (PBSs) as well as support through the Infrastructure Development Company Limited (IDCOL) to MFI driven solar Program. IDCOL will also support pilot investments in other renewable energy areas such as Mini-hydro, Wind and Biomass. Brief descriptions are as follows: REB Solar Program: This component provides support for implementing a fee-for-service SHS program to reach an estimated 14,000 households spread over 6 PBSs. Depending on the program’s results, it can be extended to other PBSs. A GEF grant program for capital cost buy-down will augment the IDA credit by providing Installation Grants to the PBSs. The drawdown of the grants will be contingent on actual consumer installations of systems by the PBSs. Subject to the fee-for- service program being successful, grant funding for solar is expected to become a part of the REB/PBSs future investment financing. REB will receive technical assistance to develop the solar program, build awareness among recipient communities and PBS staff, establish solar service units and train and deploy staff to implement the Project. IDCOL Renewable Energy Subloans: IDCOL will promote conditional sales of SHS program based on microfinance supplied through MFIs and NGOs in cooperation with private sector lenders to provide 50,000 households with SHS. IDCOL will make sub-loans under a credit program to participating organizations (POs) to refinance up to 80 percent of the loans households receive for SHS purchases. A GEF grant program will also operate in tandem with sub-loans to overcome solar market development barriers. The credit and grant components would also support pilot-level development and financing of RAPSS, wind energy, small hydro and biomass sub-projects by the private sector, NGOs and communities to introduce and promote renewable energy technologies that are commercial in other countries, but not yet in Bangladesh. Technical assistance will aim at overcoming barriers to renewable energy market development, at project development and administration, at capacity building and project monitoring and evaluation. An additional focus will be the development of appropriate interventions for ensuring renewable energy market sustainability. 11 _____________________________________________________________________________________ The ASTAE program has increasingly supported cross-sectoral linkages as a key part of its overall strategy. This focus on cross-sectoral opportunities and projects is most notable in China, India, Mongolia and, more recently, Papua New Guinea. Box 4: ASTAE-Supported Projects with Cross-Sectoral Linkages Country Project Title Project Status ASTAE Contribution Mongolia Provision of Infrastructure Under Preparation Packaging of experience with reducing Services in Rural areas energy costs to schools and hospitals and modification to Mongolian conditions China Energy Efficiency in Water Under Identifying optimal efficiency Utilities Implementation improvement, measures, workable delivery mechanisms, and packaging the results for other water utilities China Passive Solar Heating for Under Supported the pilot testing of passive solar Rural Health Clinics Implementation designs at three rehabilitated health clinics and supervision of GEF-funded regional scale-up efforts.

Madya Pradesh Water Sector India Under Preparation +Integration of rural energy services, Restructuring Project including canal-based mini-hydro development Payment of heating bills to social services (schools, hospitals) and government agencies accounts for about 3.5 % of GDP in Mongolia, and is growing. Equivalent electricity subsidies account for about 1.5% of GDP. Both services are of poor quality and intermittent. Supply of both services is characterized by high levels of losses both in production and distribution. 12 _____________________________________________________________________________________ To tackle this problem, the Government has outlined the elements of a Strategy that will involve public-private partnerships in restoring services with the objectives of improving efficiency levels by 50%, rebalancing tariffs, and retargeting subsidies over a sustained period of time. ASTAE support will package experience from other countries in similar situations to support the Government in the design of institutional and financial delivery systems that are suitable to the Mongolian context and conditions. These delivery systems, once successfully piloted, could be supported through an FY 05 lending operation . This project is described in Box 1. This demonstration project is supported by the GEF and based on an initial ASTAE- supported pilot. The project directly supports the GOC’s priorities in the health sector, especially its plans to build 15,000-20,000 new rural health clinics as well as thousands of schools and community centers over the next five years. Currently most rural health clinics are located in poorly designed buildings where indoor coal burning is the main source of heat. The combination of poor ventilation, poor insulation and inefficient stoves creates an unhealthy environment both from an indoor air quality and patient and staff comfort viewpoint. Previous ASTAE-supported efforts have developed and demonstrated passive solar heated buildings/health clinics suitable to rural Chinese conditions. These pilots are complete and the results of these pilots have been used directly in the development of passive solar designs for new and rehabilitated health clinics and the construction and monitoring and evaluation of 30 prototype township health centers. The project will yield long-term benefits both in terms of the global environment (displaced coal) but also in terms As part of this water sector restructuring initiative ASTAE supported development of mini-hydro projects along irrigation canals in Uttar Pradesh and is exploring similar options in Madhya Pradesh as a means to promote rural economic development. Finally, ASTAE cooperates with partners within and outside the Bank, allowing ASTAE to deliver more balanced and higher quality projects and services and greatly enhancing ASTAE’s role as the premier alternative energy knowledge manager within t he Bank. ASTAE collaborates closely with ESMAP, AFRREI the various Thematic Groups and the knowledge management team, and maintains regular contact with colleagues in government, the private sector, NGOs, multilateral institutions, and academia. Highlights of ASTAE’s non-lending work program for FY02 included the following activities, several of which are described in more detail below: 13 _____________________________________________________________________________________  Advancement of preparation activities for China Renewable Energy Program (CRESP);  Support for sector work associated with the Philippines Rural Power Project;  Completion of the first phase of the ASTAE-U.K.-DFID China EMC Training Project which provided capacity building and training activities to aid in the implementation of the recently approved China Energy Conservation II project;  Production of the Second Edition of the “Quality Program for Photovoltaics” training manuals, including translation of selected segments into Spanish, French and German for use in EU. This work has been supported by EC.  Reconnaissance and Identification activities on an energy efficiency component for water supply and wastewater utilities in the ongoing China Hebei Urban Environment Project;  Support for sector work on rural energy in India;  Release of a working paper entitled “Statistical Analysis of Wind Farm Costs and Policy Regimes.” This working paper presents the results of a statistical analysis to identify the main factors that affect the cost of electricity generated by wind; and  Development of a renewable energy action plan for Cambodia. Starting from FY01 and continuing through FY02, ASTAE, with additional funding by DfID, supported the development and strengthening of Energy Management Companies (EMCs) in China by providing training and advisory services. This support, with a total budget of US$2.5 million will last 2 to 3 years. Initial major activities include: (a) development and delivery of a massive and sophisticated training program for new EMC's; (b) definition of the optimal long- term institutional arrangement for the EMC Service Association; and (c) a series of activities to raise awareness concerning the EMC industry in local banks, to help community bank officials to understand the details of the business, and to provide EMC's with customized technical assistance in their preparation of applications or loan finance. The ASTAE-DfID project plays a critical role in the Energy Conservation Projects, as it provides for a large-scale effort on corporate and business plan development for new EMC's prior to the initiation of the Energy Conservation Project Phase II. As such it forms a bridge during FY02 between the two energy conservation projects, one under implementation and one under preparation. ASTAE continues to support sector work associated with the Heating Reform and Building Energy Efficiency Project. This concept is based on a study carried out in 2000 entitled "Opportunities to Improve Energy Efficiency in Building". This study identified 3 main barriers to improvement of heating energy efficiency in China: (i) Disconnect between heating cost and price; (ii) Lack of know-how and experience of implementing energy efficiency improvements systems; and (iii) Lack of incentives for improvement of design, construction and materials to improve the energy efficiency. To address these barriers the concept proposes to (a) implement reforms, making heat a commodity; and (b) implementation of existing standards for design, building materials and construction and develop new standards. This project will be a stand-alone GEF only project for which 18 million US$ GEF support is proposed. 14 _____________________________________________________________________________________ As described in previous annual reports, ASTAE has played a pivotal role in the development of a consensus and action plan among energy and rural electrification policy makers in Vietnam. In particular, a number of previous studies supported by ASTAE have contributed to the development of renewable energy plans and policies in general and the Renewable Energy Action Plan (REAP) in particular. The ASTAE program also provided strong support in several key areas, including wind resource mapping and development of the REAP document itself. ASTAE also played an important role in mobilizing the resources to support many of these developmental projects. In total an estimated $2.3 million in donor spending was mobilized and spent on renewable technology and program development in FY00, 01, and 02. The counterparts, including MOI, EVN, and MOSTE, have also made significant investments in these projects by way of their participation. ASTAE has continued to disseminate knowledge gained from its experiences in alternative energy through the publication of best practices materials, presentations at conferences and training seminars, and maintenance of the ASTAE Web site. Details on ASTAE conference/seminar participation and publications are presented in Annex 4. ASTAE maintains a Web site that includes comprehensive information on ASTAE’s work program, project information, alternative energy publications, products, and donor information. ASTAE periodically updates this site to incorporate new features to better disseminate alternative energy best practices, project information, technical information and improved feedback options. This site can be found at www.worldbank.org/astae/. 15 __________________________________________________________________________________ In FY02 ASTAE continued its efforts to build strong client partnerships with a number of organizations throughout the Asia region. ASTAE’s utilization of the participatory approach has significantly aided in forging ties with new partners, which has broadened the base of its support. Partnerships have been strengthened with traditional clients such as national government agencies and power utilities, as well as a variety of new clients including provincial and local governments, utilities, NGOs, village cooperatives, and the private sector. In its operational and nonlending activities, ASTAE has collaborated with a number of donors whose resources have been critical to ensuring a comprehensive, high-quality work program. Donors have included the Netherlands (Directorate-General for International Co- operation, DGIS, and NOVEM, the Netherlands Agency for Energy and the Environment), the Asian Development Bank, Australia (AusAID), Canada (CIDA), Denmark (DANIDA), the European Community, France (EdF), Finland, Germany (GTZ, KfW), the GEF, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden (Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency, Sida), Switzerland (SDC), United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the United Kingdom (Department for International Development, DFID), the United States (USAID, USDOE), and the U.S. Export Council for Renewable Energy (US/ECRE). ASTAE’s Eleventh donor meeting was held as part of the joint Consultative Group (CG) for the Energy Trust-Funded Programs (ETFPs) managed by the World Bank at Copenhagen, Denmark during April 29- May 1, 2002. Mr. Jamal Saghir, World Bank Director for Energy and Water Chaired the meeting on behalf of Ms. Nemat Shafik, World Bank Vice President for Private Sector and Infrastructure and Chair of the CG. Mr. Mohammad Farhandi, Program Manager of ASTAE, presented the shifts in regional priorities in East Asia and South Asia, and how ASTAE’s activities in the two regions are consistent with the Energy Business Renewal Strategy. He outlined how ASTAE is implementing its programmatic themes under this strategy. These themes include: scaling up of renewable energy through provision of rural access (for poverty alleviation) and energy efficiency (for environmental protection); support for alternative energy policy and regulatory frameworks; and alternative energy in cross-sectoral applications. ASTAE achievements were commended by the Donors. The ASTAE model was complimented as a source of innovation in the renewables community and as contributor of value in integrating alternative energy components to projects. GEF, the World Bank, and client country decision makers were also acknowledged for their role in contributing to the success of the ASTAE model. The discussion focused on the nature of ASTAE’s strategic shift and what it would mean for activities being undertaken by ASTAE. It was clarified that activities will continue to involve the awareness building and capacity development required to mainstream alternative energy into the policies of client countries in Asia. 16 ______________________________________________________________________________________ Since FY92, more than $20 million has been contributed to ASTAE by donors. The World Bank and associated funding sources (e.g. GEF, PHRD, IDF and CTF) have contributed more than $11 million, for a total of more than $31.8 million.

The Project will close on December 31, 2001 and is expected to successfully meet its development objectives, IREDA has played a direct as well as catalytic role in successfully commercializing renewable energy. Renewable energy share of power generation capacity in India is now growing faster than ever before. It increased from about 0.1 percent of total generation capacity in 1992 to 3 percent in 2000. Nearly 3000 MW of wind, small hydro, biomass and solar photovoltaic power systems were in operation by March 2001 compared to about 100 MW in 1992. IREDA has supported about half this capacity additions while the balance were financed through private sector equity, MNES support and loans from other lenders. The project financed over 113 MW of small hydro capacity in 33 projects compared to a target of 100 MW. During this period IREDA financed an additional 155 MW of small hydro using other resources. Wind farm capacity financed under the project was 87.2 MW in 27 projects compared to 85 MW envisaged at project appraisal. During this period IREDA financed an additional 184 MW of wind power using locally mobilized resources. Solar PV projects financed totaled 2.145 MWp in 78 projects, or slightly below the target of 2.5 MWp. Products financed ranged from solar lanterns, PV irrigation pumps, village solar power schemes to a 200 kWp grid-tied system. In addition, IREDA financed an additional 4 MWp of PV irrigation pumps with MNES assistance. Technical Assistance supported 50 activities that included technology promotion campaigns, training IREDA staff and various stakeholders, upgrading IREDA computer facilities, improving its financial management systems, conducting business meetings, technical reviews of sub- projects, and a comprehensive review of IREDA's loan portfolio and a financial audit of its operations by independent consultants. A $26.0 million GEF grant supported both the wind farm and solar PV market development components. Total World Bank/GEF support for the renewable energy components was $141.0 million. Board approval date: December 17, 1992; closing date December 31, 2001. 23 3. Thailand Promotion of Electrical Energy Efficiency, Loan 3598-TH, GEF Grants 28637 and 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 more than 17 efficiency programs for lighting, appliances, industrial/commercial buildings and load management. The DSMO exceeded its savings target of 238 MW in load reduction by 238 percent, and achieved 566 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 World Bank/GEF support for the DSM component was $9.5 million (not counting $6 million Government of Australia grant) although $1.5 million of this was later allocated to the Thailand Metropolitan Distribution Reinforcement Project. Board approval date: April 27, 1993; closing date: June 30, 2000. 4. 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 rural energy (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 minihydro 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 minihydro projects (7.8 MW) were commissioned at about 14 percent below estimated cost. PLN prepared additional minihydro and minigeothermal 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 World Bank lending for the renewable energy components of this project was $13.3 million. Board approval date: February 28, 1995; closing date: extended to March 31, 2000. 5.
