     CHAPTER 8

     SMALL ISLAND
     DEVELOPING STATES
     ESMAP has been focusing on Small Island Developing States (SIDS) because of their unique sus-
     tainability challenges. SIDS often rely heavily on imported fossil fuels for most their energy needs,
     especially for transport and electricity generation. Transitioning from fossil fuels to renewable
     energy will help SIDS secure their energy supply and create economic opportunity.

     Many SIDS have taken steps towards energy independence through new partnerships, new invest-
     ment, and innovative technologies, and have enacted energy plans with bold targets. In FY2017,
     ESMAP drove the continued development of renewable energy sources in SIDS with an active portfo-
     lio of $12.5 million. The most impressive results stemmed from geothermal development activities.

MDTFs, as well as cumulative receipts since FY2010 when the ESMAP Multi-Donor Trust
Fund was established. In FY2017, Luxembourg and The Rockefeller Foundation joined as
new ESMAP donors. ESMAP has mobilized $140 million for its FY2017-20 Business Plan,
compared to the target of $215 million.

         Disbursements

         ESMAP disbursed almost $36 million in FY2017, about the same as the previous year, or about
         103% of the FY2017 budget plan of $35 million. Disbursement for SIDS DOCK totaled $1.6
         PLOOLRQDGHFUHDVHRIDERXWIURPWKHSULRUȴVFDO\HDU$67$(GLVEXUVHPHQWZDVDSSUR[L-
         mately $5.5 million for FY2017, maintaining the same level as prior year disbursements. Table
         9.2 presents disbursements for the three MDTFs for FY2015–17. Costs are separated into: (i)
         project disbursements by region and for global programs and (ii) disbursements for program
         management, administration, communications, and knowledge management.

         Regional activities accounted for more than 75% of disbursements, with country engagements
         in Africa constituting about one-third of total disbursements and more than 40% of regional
         project costs. It should also be noted that Global Program includes technical support by the
         FHQWUDO(60$3XQLWWRFRXQWU\UHJLRQDODFWLYLWLHV

         Although there was a decrease in disbursement for SIDS DOCK, over 75% of the remaining bal-
         ance of the SIDS DOCK MDTF has been committed to consultant contracts. Overall, costs for ESMAP
         program management, communications and knowledge management decreased in FY2017 by
         about 36%. Similarly, program management costs for SIDS DOCK and ASTAE decreased by 41%
         and 62%, respectively, as economies of scales are realized in management of the three MDTFs.

SUMMARY OF THE CONSULTATIVE GROUP
MEETING FOR ENERGY TRUST-FUNDED PROGRAMS

           -APRIL 02, 2017
MARCH 31----

The Consultative Group (CG) meeting for the Energy Sector Management Assistance Program
(ESMAP) was held at Washington, DC, during March 31 – April 02, 2017. This summary covers the
discussions during the Open Sessions held on March 31 and April 01, 2017.

Mr. Riccardo Puliti, Senior Director for the Energy and Extractives Global Practice (EEX), welcomed
the new donor (Rockefeller Foundation) to the CG; he also welcomed the two new members of the
Technical Advisory Group (TAG)—Ms. Richenda Van Leeuwen and Mr. John Heath. Mr. Puliti thanked
the donors who have confirmed pledges of resources to ESMAP and emphasized the shared
objectives and opportunities between development partners and the work of ESMAP. His remarks
stressed the importance of analytical and advisory work supported through ESMAP in helping shape
the country policy dialogue and investments at the World Bank Group (WBG), and in improving the
quality and performance of WBG-financed projects, thus, leveraging millions of ESMAP resources
into billions of resources from the WBG and other financing sources.

The Open Sessions, chaired by Mr. Rohit Khanna, ESMAP Program Manager, included presentations
and discussions of the TAG report and examples of ESMAP support in the major thematic and cross-
cutting areas. Discussion highlights for each session are provided below.

Session 1: TAG Report

The TAG report was introduced by Ms. Tamara Babayan, TAG Member, and noted, in summary, that
while adequate conditions are present for ESMAP to meet the objectives set out in the FY2017-20
Business Plan, there are risks associated with underfunding and uncertainty of allocations to the
different programs. This risk could be mitigated to some extent through the addition of new donors
and fundraising, though caution needs to be exercised to ensure that a larger group of donors does
not reduce the effectiveness of ESMAP governance.

    Session 2: SEforALL Knowledge Hub

    Ms. Vivien Foster, Global Lead, EEX, updated the CG on the different elements of Sustainable Energy
    for All (SEforALL) Knowledge Hub.

The CG appreciated that ESMAP’s SEFORALL Knowledge Hub produces accurate, comprehensive,
and robust methodologies to inform investments and policies through data collection, analysis, and
visualization. There was acknowledgement that RISE and GTF have attracted a lot of interest and are
being widely cited and used. Discussion focused on the following issues:

    Session 3: ESMAP Support to Kenya: Sector Reforms, Energy Access, and Renewable
    Energy

    Ms. Sudeshna Banerjee, Lead Energy Specialist, EEX, made an introductory presentation of WBG and
    ESMAP support in the energy sector in Kenya that has been a long-term and holistic engagement
    concentrating on three key pillars: (i) environmental sustainability, focusing on increasing
    generation capacity with renewable energy, specifically geothermal and hydropower, and attracting
    private sector participation; an ESMAP-funded national geothermal strategy is under preparation; (ii)
    social sustainability, focusing on increased electrification through an urban poor program through
    last-mile grid intensification and, more recently, an off-grid program for connecting households in
    remote areas (mini grid and PV); ESMAP-funded geospatial planning, MTF survey, and power
    demand studies are instrumental in their design; and (iii) financial sustainability, focusing on
    support for cost-recovery tariffs, WBG guarantee program and better borrowing terms for the
    private sector; ESMAP-funded support for an implementation roadmap of an energy bill is
    underway.

    ESMAP has played a key role in informing the activities in each of the key intervention pillars to
    increase the level of energy access and shift focus toward renewable energy in a sustainable way.
    Discussions centered on how the WBG is funding the energy sector in Kenya through a multi-
    faceted, comprehensive program that would not be possible without ESMAP support:

    ƒ Green Growth. Some CG members noted                    countries would mean losing the core

energy access (grid integration, off-grid solutions) and renewable energy. CG members noted the
important lessons for slum electrification and access in peri-urban areas from the Kenya activity,
and encouraged ESMAP to do more in this area in other countries.




Session 4: ESMAP Support to Ukraine: Sector Reforms and Energy Efficiency

Ms. Ani Balabanyan, Lead Energy Specialist, EEX, made an introductory presentation of ESMAP’s
comprehensive support to Ukraine: (i) the largest beneficiary of ESMAP Annual Block Grants ($4.3
million over a 4-year period) in the World Bank’s European and Central Asia (ECA) region; (ii) support
was provided to enhance energy efficiency and reform electricity and gas markets, and reform
energy tariffs and subsidies; (iii) the three major challenges for the Ukrainian energy sector are
security of primary energy supply, high energy intensity, and fiscal drain on account of high energy
subsidies; (iv) the WBG addresses those challenges by engagements in power, gas, energy efficiency
(including city-level work on buildings and urban transport), district heating, and tariff and subsidy
reform; (v) some of the remaining challenges are Naftogaz unbundling and establishment of
wholesale and retail competition, containing fiscal cost of social protection schemes, revising
subsidy settlement to ensure transparency, improving financial viability of district heating, and
developing the legal framework for an energy efficiency fund; and (vi) ESMAP support allows
comprehensive engagements in multiple sectors along with the ability to respond flexibly to client
needs.

CG members appreciated the detailed presentation on ESMAP’s support across the energy sector in
Ukraine and a few suggested that ESMAP consider focusing on selected countries for comprehensive
support. ESMAP management clarified that there are indeed a few countries—i.e., Kenya, Myanmar,
Nigeria, and Ethiopia - where ESMAP supports comprehensive efforts. However, while some core
countries represent an opportunity for comprehensive support across sectors and constitute good
cases. ESMAP’s strength is the flexibility to engage not only in those countries but also globally in a
timely manner according to client demands. Furthermore, ESMAP could have significant impacts
with a single initiative in a country. Other points that emerged during the discussion:

    Session 5: Energy and Gender Programs

    Ms. Vanessa Lopes Janik, Operations Officer, ESMAP, updated the CG on work to mainstream gender
    into energy operations, covering the following elements: (i) building the evidence about the link
    between energy and gender and the importance of responding to gender concerns and gaps in
    energy projects; (ii) mainstreaming gender into ESMAP’s projects through integrating gender in
    internal processes, gender technical input, and targeted actions and outputs including integrating
    gender in ESMAP’s Energy Access Program (SEforALL Multi-Tier Framework (MTF) survey, Efficient,
    Clean Cooking and Heating (ECCH), Energy Access for Urban Poor, Green Mini Grids), Renewable
    Energy Program (Geothermal, VRE grid integration, RE resource mapping), Energy Efficiency Program
    and Energy Subsidy Reform Facility; and (iii) expanding the program from Africa and East Asia
    (AFREA and ASTAE, respectively) to all regions. Particular emphasis was given to the program’s tools
    and publications, including the forthcoming analytical report on Getting to Gender Equality in Energy
    Infrastructure.

    Several CG members made positive and supportive comments about the program, congratulated
    the team on their accomplishments, and welcomed its continuation and expansion to other regions.
    The team provided examples of the process, actions, and results of the technical assistance to
    projects for Senegal, Tanzania, and Ethiopia. The author of the Getting to Gender Equality report
    provided an overview of the methodology and findings.

    A question was raised on how the team is managing the shift from a stand-alone gender program to
    one that cuts across all of ESMAP’s work and, now, all World Bank regions. The team acknowledged
    the challenge of managing breadth versus depth, and noted emphasis has been placed on
    partnerships with social, gender and energy teams across the Bank in new activities. Efforts are also
    being made to ensure ownership from energy teams in terms of task management and cost sharing
    to help successfully mainstream gender into these programs.

    to avoid locking in costly, polluting, and inefficient development through: (i) mobilizing the private
    sector and leveraging financing; (ii) promoting market transformation in building energy efficiency;
    (iii) catalyzing a strategic shift in client countries and WBG operations to mainstream energy
    efficiency in projects; and (iv) facilitating partnerships to harness knowledge, experience, and good
    practices.

    In responding to queries from CG members, the team emphasized that ESMAP’s work in energy
    efficiency is part of the Bank’s energy engagement and closely linked to broader sector issues. In the
    current business plan, ESMAP seeks to enhance its focus on IDA countries. The discussion focused
    on the following topics:

    Session 8: Energy Access Thematic Area

    An introductory presentation was made by Ms. Dana Rysankova, Senior Energy Specialist, ESMAP,
    covering the following main points: (i) international community is not on target to achieve global
    universal access in line with SEforALL targets unless we effectuate a rapid acceleration; (ii) such
    acceleration is possible, as exemplified by Kenya, with timely support from ESMAP, IDA, and other
    development financing partners; (iii) ESMAP has the right tools and experience to help with the
    acceleration through its programs on grid electrification, mini grids, and clean cooking and heating;



ϱϯ ^DWͮŶŶƵĂůZĞƉŽƌƚϮϬϭϳ
(iv) Lighting Africa is a good example of how support can be used for mini grids and clean cooking
and heating to reach the inflection point in market transformation; (v) challenges ahead include
policy inertia towards change, underperforming utilities, and bridging the gap between cost of
service and consumer affordability; and (vi) solutions to these challenges exist, but require
consistent support, sharing of best practices, and continued innovation.

The CG acknowledged ESMAP’s approach straddling the public and private sectors towards to
accelerate energy access. Discussions were around the following topics:

ƒ Energy Access as a Public Good.                        electrification tools. In the past, the focus of

Session 9: Renewable Energy Thematic Area

Mr. Pierre Audinet, Senior Energy Economist, ESMAP, presented the objective, scope and challenges
of the renewable energy activities which, since FY2014, have provided more than $30 million in
support to 40+ countries. As renewable energy costs are declining and investments are picking up
across the globe, ESMAP provides support to organize, manage, and facilitate efficient renewable
energy scale-up and avoid unplanned growth. ESMAP does this by: (i) creating consensus around key
renewable energy issues; (ii) pushing boundaries to help countries on a renewable energy trajectory,



                                                                                        ĞƐŵĂƉ͘ŽƌŐ       ϱϰ
    for instance, through strategic planning and long-term engagements (e.g., in Vietnam, ESMAP has
    been engaged since 2010 through interventions to promote renewables that have resulted in
    several policy changes and planned investments in solar PV); (iii) leveraging public and private
    capital; and (iv) building partnerships to maximize impact. The renewable energy program is
    proposing to address key challenges for ESMAP to scale up support with the following measures: (i)
    meeting growing demand by implementing a programmatic and wholesale approach; (ii) building
    consensus to clarify the role of the public sector; and (iii) expanding partnerships to maximize
    impact of constrained resources.

    CG Members strongly supported the strategic direction and scope of activities supported under the
    ESMAP renewable energy thematic area, with the discussion centered around the following topics:

       inquired about the collaboration with the
       IFC and other external stakeholders, such
       as SEforALL, IRENA, and the International
       Solar Alliance. The team described the close
       coordination with IFC on country-level
       activities under the WBG Scaling Solar
       initiative. For example, in those countries
       where the independent power producer
       (IPP)-based procurement of solar capacity is
       not feasible, ESMAP has the ability to
       support alternative approaches to the
       procurement of such capacity. With IRENA,
       there is close collaboration on mapping and
       on auction design capacity building. ESMAP
       hosts the Knowledge Hub under the
       SEforALL; further collaboration with the
       SEforALL network to disseminate ESMAP
       knowledge products is under consideration.
       ESMAP stands ready to work with the
       International Solar Alliance (ISA) under the
       framework of the Memorandum of
       Understanding (MoU)4 signed between the
       World Bank and ISA in June 2016.

    Session 10: Africa Grid Solar Program

    The opening presentation by Mr. Pierre Audinet, Senior Energy Economist, ESMAP, conveyed: (i) the
    problem being addressed; (ii) the WBG approach; and (iii) the ESMAP technical assistance
    component. The Africa region is endowed with massive solar resources and need for energy access
    with regional variations in endowments and capacities: (i) the West African Power Pool with a weak
    grid and good resources; (ii) the East African Power Pool with better grids but poor resources; and
    (iii) the South African Power Pool with medium-quality grid connectivity and good resources.
    Therefore, a regional approach is being undertaken to remove some of the barriers, help integrate
    the regional market, and harmonize regulatory rules. Close collaboration with IFC is maintained with
    the IFC focusing on procuring generation, while the World Bank focuses on grid infrastructure.

    ESMAP proposed to allocate a significant share of its Solar Support Program budget to this initiative.
    ESMAP support will also focus on the coordination between hydropower and solar, along with the
    required grid integration studies to pre-identify and address issues that may emerge from high
    penetration of renewables. Efforts are also underway to mobilize additional funds from the China
    Trust Fund and the Korean government.

    Some CG members voiced concern whether it is the right time, place and packaging for large-scale
    solar projects in Africa. One of the concerns related to the integration of high shares of renewables
    in regions with weak grid infrastructure such as in Africa. The World Bank team clarified that
    addressing these constraints is one of the priorities of the Bank’s program.

    CG members also requested information on how the Program would collaborate with other
    initiatives and actors, such as American Renewable Energy Institute (AREI), IRENA’s Africa Clean
    Energy Corridor, and the African Development Bank.




    Session 11: Asia Energy Transition (Follow the Carbon)

    The introductory presentation by Ranjit Lamech, Director EEX, covered the following main points: (i)
    the next five years are critical to accelerate energy transition and reduce climate change impact; (ii)
    the Energy Transition Asia (planned ESMAP budget of $12 million) focuses on six countries—China,
    Indonesia, Vietnam, India, Pakistan, and Philippines in East and South Asia—to curb mitigation of
    260 Gt CO2 emissions from coal-fired power plants by scaling up renewable energy and energy
    efficiency in those countries; (iii) the project builds upon four pillars—concessional finance (GCF,
    GEF, etc.), technical assistance, partnership and outreach, and knowledge exchange; and (iv) for
    financing of the necessary investments the initiative pursues two levels of partnership—delivery of
    co-financing together with ADB and AIIB as well as domestic and international commercial financing.

    There was broad support from the CG for the initiative and ESMAP’s upstream role in helping deliver
    technical assistance. CG Members had the following suggestions regarding the initiative:

Session 12: Annual Block Grants for Energy Sector Governance, Markets, and Planning

Mr. Victor Loksha, Senior Energy Economist, ESMAP, introduced ESMAP support through Annual
Block Grants (ABGs), making the following main points: (i) achieving the goals of SDG7 requires well-
functioning power sectors; (ii) “cascade” approach to infrastructure finance puts commercial finance
and sector reforms first; (iii) ESMAP approach in FY2017-20 is to support regions with ABGs5 in the
areas of governance, planning, and markets, prioritizing utilities/energy sector reform, power system
planning, and regional integration of infrastructure; (iv) between FY2014-16, 50 completed activities
in 33 countries funded by $9.8 million in ABGs informed $1.5 billion of WBG operations; and (v)
ABGs support private sector participation in the energy sector through mobilization of non-Bank
resources for development finance and joint work with IFC.

A CG member suggested that ABG be retitled as “Regional Allocation for Policy and Planning Support
(RAPPS),” to emphasize that the modality is more than just a provider of financial resources. In
particular, TAG recommended that ESMAP develop new tools and approaches for utility reforms in
the context of the Bank’s rethinking of power sector reforms and increasing penetration of variable
renewable energy.

ESMAP management clarified that the ABG modality grants on average $1 million per year per
region and that the ESMAP business plan is flexible; there are possibilities of supplementing funds
to ABGs with specific thematic programs, such as Gender or Hydropower. Finally, ESMAP will look
into suggestion of a new label for the ABG modality.

    Session 13: Presentation of New M&E Portal

    The new M&E portal was introduced by Ms. Brenda Manuel, Senior Operations Officer, ESMAP. CG
    members welcomed the new Portal and made the following suggestions to strengthen the ESMAP
    M&E system: (i) seek volunteers (TAG, some CG members) to test the new portal; (ii) ESMAP to adopt
    ASTAE indicators, with all the associated caveats; (iii) provide link or data on energy indicators from
    the WBG Corporate Scorecards;6 (iv) review established indicators of ESMAP donors to determine
    whether they can be easily captured as part of M&E reporting; and (v) explore registering/publishing
    ESMAP data to the International Aid Transparency Initiative (IATI) Standard.7

    It was also agreed that the reporting format agreed with the European Commission be considered
    for reporting on the thematic and cross-cutting programs. CG members were requested to review
    the European Commission’s format and provide feedback to ESMAP management. One donor
    requested that the annual portfolio review be posted on the ESMAP website.

    ESMAP’s has developed a Risk Framework (shared with the CG at the meeting) to identify
    assumptions or risks to achieve outcomes. CG members were requested to provide their comments
    to ESMAP management.




    Session 14: Energy Subsidy Reform

    Ms. Sheoli Pargal, Lead Energy Economist, ESMAP, provided an update on the Energy Subsidy
    Reform Facility (ESRF), highlighting that energy subsidies are still large today ($325 billion)—relative
    to those on renewables—despite the fall in oil prices globally. The persistence of energy subsidies
    leads to overuse of fossil fuels and undermines climate change mitigation; moreover, subsidies tend
    to be regressive. Energy subsidy reforms require a holistic approach to the issue, including
    appropriate diagnostics, such as political economy and poverty and social impact analyses. It is also
    key to address the root cause of power utility financial problems that necessitate subsidies in
    regions such as Africa. The ESRF represents a shift in the Bank’s approach to energy subsidy reform
    by addressing the issue in a comprehensive manner and providing hands-on, customized, multi-year
    technical assistance to country teams, with due consideration of social and political sustainability.
    Discussions focused on the following issues:

to the KM agendas of World Bank Energy Global Practice and World Bank Group. The work plan, was
initiated with an audit of current KM work at ESMAP and an assessment of potential audiences,
undertaken in consultation with World Bank’s Energy Global Practice KM and Global Solutions Leads.
The Work Plan contains eight elements across four pillars:

ƒ People: (i) Expert Connector—to facilitate        ƒ Processes: (i) Knowledge Impact—to
   internal and external stakeholders in                 simplify and streamline knowledge
   connecting to ESMAP staff; and (ii) People            dissemination for higher impact; and (ii)
   Flow—to manage the in and out flow of                 Answers Now—to design a simple process
   ESMAP staff for operational effectiveness.            for embedding ESMAP in large Q&A
ƒ Products: (i) Knowledge Menu—to create                initiatives.
   menu of knowledge products per                    ƒ Platforms: (i) Online Knowledge
   audience/desired impact; and (ii) Energy              Repository—to ensure ESMAP knowledge is
   Radar—to create a mechanism to monitor                stored and easy to find by key stakeholders;
   internal and external energy knowledge                and (ii) Face-to-Face—to provide platform
   (i.e., demand, gaps, hot topics).                     for personal interactions.



The alignment of responsibilities across ESMAP and EEX for activities under the eight elements is
being finalized as a prelude to implementation during FY2017-18.

The CG requested that attention be also paid to outward-facing elements of KM so that external
stakeholders also benefit from the work of ESMAP. Several CG members acknowledged the benefits
of ESMAP staff members and/or WBG TTLs visiting their respective organizations during their travels
through Europe to provide updates on ESMAP work; similar appreciation was expressed regarding
invitations to WBG/ESMAP events in partner countries.

ESMAP Knowledge Forum. Several CG members supported the proposal from ESMAP management to
hold an ESMAP Knowledge Forum in autumn 2017; a couple of CG members indicated their
willingness to host the event and agreed to follow up after consultations with their respective
organizations.
