The Additional Financing will enable to scale up the 12/31/2018 Page 1 of 7 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Emergency Water and Electricity Services Upgrading Project (P148797) impact of the parent Project by financing new or rehabilitation of infrastructures in water and energy to enable to improve access to water and electricity services in Bissau, but also to start the reform process of EAGB, with the support of a private operator, through a Service Contract. The activities conducted so far under the parent project already enabled to have an impact on the ground: - For electricity, most of the 10 kV underground cables have already been installed, tested and commissioned in Bissau’s downtown. Eight substations have been upgraded from 6 kV to 10 kV and rehabilitated with new transformers. The network protection cells purchased under the project have been installed at EAGB’s central substation, tested and transferred to EAGB. The replacement of the damaged cells is expected to increase the amount of electricity that EAGB will be able to distribute safely to its customers. All these activities contributed to improve the electricity distribution. In addition, over 10,000 pre-paid meters have been installed. - For water, new boreholes have been constructed which contributed to improve the water services (increase of water production by 37%) and its reliability as most of the boreholes have now a dedicated electrical line, and are secured with a back-up generator. Water network has been extended, and 20 public stand posts have already been constructed and connected to the network to enable 6,000 additional people to have access to safe water. The construction of 6,600 private connections should start soon, as the meters and accessories have now been delivered in Bissau. For activities planned under AF, the consultant for detailed technical studies (water and energy) has been recruited, bidding documents should be ready by May 2019 to launch a new series of works which could start in October 2019. The consultant in charge of the elaboration of ESIAs and RAPs (if needed) has been recruited and works closely with the technical consultant to minimize impacts on the ground. For energy, the Project supported different activities that can significantly improve the financial sustainability of EAGB, increase EAGB’s bill collection rate, help reduce commercial losses, and also to assess solar energy potential: - An experienced international transaction advisor has been recruited to support EAGB in the negotiations of a power purchase agreement with Karpowership (Turkey) for the supply of electricity produced by a floating barge with a capacity of 17 - 30 MW with heavy fuel oil. The complete shift of the country’s power generation mix is expected to enable EAGB’s savings between US$ 700,000 - 1 million monthly and therefore improve the financial sustainability of the national utility. - A consultant specialized in electricity meters was recruited to work with EAGB on a technical assistance; the improvement of the prepaid metering system is expected to increase EAGB’s bill collection rate while the Revenue Protection Program (RPP) would help reduce commercial losses. - A feasibility study to assess the potential of solar PV plants with batteries with a total installed capacity of 20-30 MWp started; the final report is scheduled for the end of April 2019 and a dissemination workshop is expected to be organized in Bissau in May. Activities planned under AF to support the improvement of EAGB started and are now well on track, with the recruitment of a private operator (EDP/ADP/LBCS – Portuguese firms) to provide support to EAGB, after a long procurement process, its intervention should be effective in early January now that the contract is signed.
