Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? No Components Table Name Grid-connected distributed renewable energy:(Cost $11.00 M) Off-grid distributed renewable energy:(Cost $8.62 M) Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of PDO Moderately Satisfactory Moderately Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) Moderately Unsatisfactory Moderately Satisfactory Overall Risk Rating High Substantial Implementation Status and Key Decisions Despite the challenges faced by the project since its beginning and the very fragile and unpredictable situations in Haiti for many consecutive months, and the current COVID-19 crisis, significant positive progress was made. Both FY19 and FY20 were difficult years given the lack of political stability and widespread social unrest - which resulted in several months of security issues and disruptions in every-day activities, including school closures, inability of staff to get to the offices, inability to carry out field trips (even for the PIU staff) and limited possibilities for carrying out missions. This situation is now further aggravated by the COVID-19 crisis, which is resulting in an even more wide- spread lock-down and other disruptions. As a result, the project has so far disbursed only 2.5 percent of its total amount. Despite these challenges, the Project has registered important progress in building better policy and regulatory environment for distributed renewable energy thanks to the TA support from the Project. Considerable progress has also been achieved in accelerating renewable energy mini grid (municipal grid) development in Haiti. This is now being reflected in increasing financial commitments from development partners and the private sector, all reflected in progress on PDO indicators: 8/4/2020 Page 1 of 7 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Haiti: Renewable Energy for All (P156719) The “Enabling policy and regulatory framework for clean energy and access” indicator has registered substantial progress. The indicator is tracked through the World Bank’s Regulatory Indicators for Sustainable Energy (RISE) index, which is a composite index measuring policy and regulatory environment for renewable energy, energy efficiency and energy access (https://rise.esmap.org/). Haiti’s index rose from 11 at appraisal to 22 today (with the Project’s end target set at 35.) These improvements have been driven by the Project support for setting up a comprehensive mini grid concession framework, an RBF mechanism, and the introduction of fiscal incentives for off-grid solar products. The improvements in the enabling framework are now being reflected in the promising mobilization of commercial financing. US$0.5 million private sector investments have already been mobilized, and additional funding is being mobilized for the first seven concessions, resulting from the first Request for Proposals. The actual electricity access outcome indicators have not yet registered progress, as these can be realized only after the public and private investments are implemented. Over 40,000 people, however, are expected to be electrified by the SREP Project through the first mini grid Request for Proposals process (RfP 1), which has already been completed, and additional connections are forthcoming under the mini grid scale-up program enabled through restructuring and the results-based financing for off-grid solar systems that is to be launched in September. Considering these positive developments, the Progress Towards Achievement of the Project Development Objective is rated as Moderately Satisfactory (MS), reflecting Project’s ability to reach its objective, despite delays. Project implementation progress (IP) , has also been upgraded from MU to MS. The IP was rated MU in the last ISR because of slow progress of Component 1, in particular delays in contracting technical advicers and selecting pilot sites. These issues have now been resolved. In addition, the restructuring, which is already in process, is reallocating US$5 million from Component 1 to the more dynamic Component 2 to finance the scale-up of the mini grid program. Component 1 resources are also being used for supporting GoH in COVID-19 response, financing a rapid installation of solar PV+battery storage systems on priority hospitals, testing laboratories and water systems. Implementation is already underway. A virtual mission was held since the last ISR the week of July 8.
