The implementation of the pumped storage component has progressed satisfactorily. Despite a major delay in delivery of equipment and a number of technical defects in the equipment, the project implementing agency (JPSPC) managed to commission four units of the Yixing pumped storage power plant in June 2009, only slightly behind the schedule. However, as more time is needed to test the equipment and eliminate all technical defects, more time is required to disburse the remaining loan proceeds. Therefore, the Bank has extended the closing date of the loan by one year at the request of the Ministry of Finance. Progress in design and implementation of competitive power market is less satisfactory due to several reasons. Since the project appraisal in 2003, China suffered acute power shortages Progress toward achieving which made it impossible to introduce a real competition. Also development objective(s): China piloted a sort of power market at the regional level which delayed the introduction of an integrated competitive power market. The reform actions already implemented in China (full separation of generation from the network business, more efficient pricing, strengthened institutional capacity, spinning of non-core businesses) have created some competitive pressure among generators to improve efficiency. In addition, JPSPC has adopted many policies and measures to improve the efficiency of the power supply system. Therefore, almost all outcome indicators are achieved through these actions. As it is unlikely that China will have a full-flagged power market any time soon, some sub- components of the project will need to be cancelled. This would not affect project objectives, as many actions to improve efficiency of power supply have been successfully Status of Projects in Execution - FY09 EAST ASIA AND PACIFIC REGION implemented and the project development objective is likely to be met.

The global environment objective of the project is to maintain and nurture natural grassland ecosystems. The project is getting close to completion and is demonstrating good results. Progress toward achieving the development objective has been good. Observed income differences in project households compared with non-project households can be directly attributed to increased lamb survival (due to warm sheds), increased lamb growth rate (due to a combination of warm sheds, better nutrition and cross-breeding), improved quality (cross-breeding and nutrition) and a change in lambing time (warm sheds) so that sales coincide better with peak market demands # all achieved through project activities in fodder production, livestock breeding, livestock fattening, and livestock shed improvements. Culling of unproductive animals and introduction of higher quality and more productive animals combined with improved nutrition is enabling an increasing number of farmers and herders to decrease their flock sizes and thus reduce the pressure on grasslands. Positive impacts Progress toward achieving of GEF financed activities are also been demonstrated. development objective(s): Rotation grazing is reducing pressure on grasslands. An example is a herder who solely rely on grassland for forage - has been able to reduce his total number of sheep by 50% through improved nutrition gained from rotational grazing (introduced by the GEF program) and through reduction of trespass grazing due to secure boundary fences (financed by GEF). Carbon sequestration research work is rendering results showing that enclosure from grazing is increasing carbon sequestration capacity of the grassland from 20% to 50%. A river conservation program that includes fencing of a wetland river head to exclude livestock is demonstrating significant increase in ground cover, plant density, standing biomass, and increase in biodiversity.
