STRATEGIC CONTEXT A. Country Context 1. Indonesia is the world’s largest archipelagic state, its fourth most populous nation, and the 10th largest economy in terms of purchasing power parity. It is a member of the ASEAN group of countries that have a combined population of 608.4 million and is also a member of the G-20. With more than 17,500 islands, of which 6,000 are inhabited, Indonesia has a population of over 250 million, with 300 distinct ethnic groups and over 700 languages and dialects. It has a gross national income per capita of US$3,524 (2014) and it has more than halved extreme poverty to 11.3 percent in the past fifteen years. 2. Indonesia’s economic planning follows a 20-year development cycle. The current plan spans from 2005 to 2025. The five-year medium-term development plan, i.e. the third phase of the long-term plan runs from 2015 to 2019, and focuses on key development priorities including energy and infrastructure development, and on improving social assistance programs in education and health-care. Recent energy subsidy reforms have enabled shifts in public spending towards programs that directly impact the poor. However more than 28 million Indonesians currently live below the poverty line set at US$24.4 per month and approximately half of all households remain clustered around this poverty line. Employment growth has been slower than population growth, and public services remain inadequate by middle income country standards. Indonesia is also doing poorly on a number of health and infrastructure related indicators. 3. In addition despite rising government spending in recent years, Indonesia’s core infrastructure stock, such as electricity, road networks, ports, and telecommunication facilities, has not kept pace with economic growth. The resultant “infrastructure gap” in terms of both quantity and quality of investment is due to several factors among which the most important are: a complex and non-transparent regulatory framework for implementation of infrastructure projects; an underdeveloped framework for Public-Private Partnerships resulting in insufficient mobilization of private funds for investment; and the inadequate participation of domestic capital markets in channeling funds to infrastructure sectors. The infrastructure gap contributes to undermine productivity, growth, competitiveness and poverty reduction efforts. 4. Going forward, reducing the infrastructure gap would support growth and prosperity through several channels. The spending effect would support short-term growth and the creation of jobs. As the investments translate into infrastructure stock, private investment will be crowded-in and productive capacity, and long-term growth will be supported. As infrastructure services are delivered firms’ competitiveness would increase and so would the population’s access to services. B. Sectoral and Institutional Context 5. The power sector in Indonesia is dominated by the state owned power utility, PT. Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PERSERO) or PLN that owns and operates 39.3 GW of the 51.6 GW of installed generating capacity (2014). Independent Power Producers (IPPs) represent 7.9 GW of installed capacity, and the balance is from captive generation. Total electricity produced 1 in 2014 was 228.5 TWh of which 198.6 TWh was sold during the year to industries (33.2 percent), households (42.3 percent), businesses (18.3 percent), and others (6.2 percent). PLN’s annual peak load in 2014 was 33.3 GW, an increase of 8.06 percent over the prior year. PLN with its monopoly until 2009 on power transmission and distribution (39,910 km of transmission lines, and 925,312 km of distribution lines) is also the major purchaser of electricity produced by IPPs (53.2 TWh or 23.3 percent of total production). While the private sector has made inroads in negotiating licenses with local governments for electricity supply and distribution for isolated mini-grids, PLN remains the dominant force in transmission and distribution in Indonesia. The sector is regulated by the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, while decisions relating to the sector’s financial footing including those on proposed tariff increases are taken at the Parliamentary level (Commission VII of the House of Representatives) in discussion with the Ministry of Finance, the State Planning Ministry, the Ministry of State Owned Enterprises, and PLN. The sector until recently was characterized by low electricity tariffs, and high subsidies to PLN. These subsidies projected at 0.6 percent of GDP in 2015 remain unsustainable at current levels, and the government has embarked upon a tariff rationalization effort aimed at limiting subsidies to low income consumers. 6. In addition, Indonesia, with an electrification ratio of 84.3 percent of the population, lags behind its neighbors such as Thailand, Vietnam and China which have achieved universal access. Access to electricity is an important driver for improvements in health and educational outcomes as well as for income growth opportunities for the population. With demand continuing to increase at an annual rate of about 8 percent the national power expansion plan (RUPTL) for the next ten years to 2024 projects a requirement for 70 GW of new generation capacity together with associated transmission and distribution capacity. Public sector resources through PLN are used to finance part of the additional generation capacity alongside the private sector which is expected to develop, finance and operate at least 50 percent of the new capacity during 2015-24. 7. In the face of tremendous pressure to keep pace with economic growth combined with investments that were well below the levels needed to ensure reliable supply, Indonesia’s power system has been left with inadequate generating capacity to meet electricity demand (average annual demand growth of 7.8 percent during 2009-13). The sector has faced significant challenges in mobilizing large investments from the public and private sectors due to the following reasons: a. Weak sector financial footing of PLN due to low electricity tariffs combined with limited Government fiscal space to support major investments. b. A large and unsustainable government public service obligation (PSO) subsidy averaging US$9.3 billion annually during 2011-14, and projected at 0.6 percent of GDP in 2015 covering 24 percent of PLN’s operating revenues. c. PLN’s limited borrowing capacity due to subsidized electricity tariffs combined with delayed subsidy payments negatively impacting PLN’s financial condition and therefore its access to financial markets. d. Weak contract management and implementation capacity at PLN leading to long lead times in contracting and construction required to install new capacity. 2 e. High political risk due to an evolving policy framework, regulatory uncertainty, and delays in the issuance of licenses and approvals, undermining private investment. 8. Additional energy sector challenges include a rapid increase of coal in power generation imposing environmental costs on the economy and on society and energy efficiency programs that have yet to gain any significant traction. Coal accounted for about 52 percent of the generation fuel mix at the end of 2014 and its share is expected to increase to 60 percent by 2019. The increasing share of coal in the generation mix will be mitigated to some extent by the GoI’s commitment to increase the proportion of renewable energy sources to about 23 percent of the generation mix by 2025. In addition, while the lack of implementation of significant energy efficiency programs to date has contributed to the persistent rapid growth in power demand and capital investment requirements, the ongoing rationalization of tariffs and removal of subsidies will improve incentives for more energy efficiency efforts in the future. 9. The impacts of inadequate investment in power infrastructure are felt through power deficits and persistent low access to electricity (42 million Indonesians have no access to electricity). 10. To address these challenges, at a strategic level, the GoI has committed to a number of long term measures around the following targets: a. reducing, and better targeting, energy subsidies to improve productive and resource allocative efficiency; b. expanding electricity access by improving the electrification rate from 84.3 percent in 2014 to 99 percent by 2024; c. scaling-up renewable energy deployment from 11 percent in 2014 to 23 percent of the energy mix by 2025; d. placing investment to expand power generation capacity as one of the high priority pillars of its infrastructure revival program; and e. mobilizing a partnership program on energy conservation to incentivize industrial enterprises to convert to energy efficient technologies. 11. At an operational level the GoI has undertaken or initiated the following several measures to address the above power sector challenges: a. Prepared an ambitious power sector investment program. PLN has developed a power system expansion plan called the “Rencana Usaha Penyediaan Tenaga Listrik”, (RUPTL) for 2015-2024 which is expected to add 70 GW to the system at a total cost of about US$97 billion. For the first five years (2015-2019) the program will add 42 GW, including 7 GW carried over from prior fast track programs. Out of this program PLN is expected to build, finance and operate 5 GW at an estimated cost of US$40 billion, including the cost of the associated transmission and distribution investments and the private sector is expected to implement the balance of 30 GW. Given the implementation difficulties in the past and with ongoing projects, delivery of such a massive program will be challenging for both PLN and the GoI. To succeed, it will be necessary for GoI and PLN to step up measures to address the constraints to the 3 implementation of the investment program and to identify new ways of doing business. The proposed Program presents a new approach for implementation of the distribution investments. b. Implemented substantial increases in electricity tariffs in the last two years to improve PLN’s financial performance, to better manage power demand and to reduce the PSO subsidy. c. Issued a new geothermal law and pricing decree to provide incentives for the development of Indonesia’s substantial domestic energy resource. d. Completed a gas development master plan to provide a strategy/road map for improving the management of gas resources, including their availability to the domestic market. e. Initiated a performance based regulation for PLN so that power prices can be based on efficient costs. f. Introduced a feed-in tariff to incentivize private finance for renewable energy development. g. Initiated a process to introduce a direct lending mechanism for SoEs to borrow directly from bilateral and multilateral sources for infrastructure financing. h. Created a performance management unit at the line ministry and a project management office under the National Project Director, to improve energy project delivery. 12. The Bank is also supporting Indonesia to address these sector development challenges through development policy and investment lending and through technical assistance advisory services. Three ongoing IPF operations for a total of about US$1.2 billion in IBRD Loans are supporting the sector’s ability to meet demand by financing expansion of renewable energy generation capacity (Upper Cisokan Hydropower Project) and transmission lines and substations. The recently approved Development Policy Loan is leveraging policy reforms to improve the regulatory framework for private sector participation in both power and gas, to reduce energy subsidies, and to improve the framework for increased electrification nationwide. In addition, the Bank is engaging with the Government through Advisory Services and Analytics on its core engagement areas of strengthening sector governance and sustainability, supporting renewable energy and low carbon development, expanding access to modern energy services, and enabling gas sector policy formulation and investment planning. These Advisory Services and Analytics have included the development of a gas sector master plan, an Eastern Indonesia electricity access scale-up strategy, support for a performance based regulation to improve PLN’s operational efficiency, and related areas, C. Relationship to the CPF and Rationale for Use of Instrument 13. The Bank’s current Country Partnership Framework (CPF) for Indonesia covering the period FY 2016-20 was discussed in December 2015. Earlier in 2015 the Systematic Country Diagnostics (SCD) had identified infrastructure bottlenecks as constraints to inclusive growth. The CPF assigned a priority role to infrastructure, including energy, for furthering the government’s development goals of building a more prosperous, equal and economically independent Indonesia, eliminating extreme poverty and boosting shared prosperity. 4 14. Sustainable energy and universal access is identified as a key engagement area for the World Bank Group. Specifically, the CPF identifies the following four main areas for the Bank to focus on in the energy sector: (i) energy infrastructure: improving operational efficiencies, reliability of services through among others transmission and distribution and pumped storage; (ii) renewable energy and low carbon development: accelerating geothermal and other renewables complemented with sustainable development of hydropower and the gas sector; (iii) access to modern energy services: potentially through grid extensions, possible off grid solutions, modern cooking solutions; and (iv) sector governance, competitiveness and efficiency, particularly through the DPL series, and project delivery TA. 15. To implement this engagement strategy, the World Bank Group’s support to the sector comprises the traditional Investment Project Financing (IPF), IFC equity and loans to private sector projects and TA, in addition to the recently introduced development policy lending. IPF and TA are used to support power infrastructure projects, especially renewable energy, to facilitate the rationalization of the electricity tariffs and subsidy regime, and to strengthen project/program implementation capacity of the line ministry and of energy sector SoEs. Development policy lending is being used to leverage policy reforms for low-carbon development, improved access to electricity, rationalization of energy subsidies and creation of an environment for enhanced private sector participation. 16. The power sector has faced significant implementation constraints including under past and ongoing Bank supported operations. These constraints have resulted in slow implementation and disbursement of expenditures leading to delayed realization of project benefits. The main constraints are: (i) regulatory – land acquisition and obtaining right of way through forestry lands for infrastructure development, and (ii) PLN specific – project management, procurement and contract management delays. These constraints are summarized in the text box below which also shows the underlying causes and the ways in which the PforR is designed to mitigate them. Box 1: Lessons Learned from Past and Current Bank Operations in Indonesia’s Power Sector Performance constraints Underlying Causes How PforR addresses Lessons Learned Regulatory Delays in project Weak institutional capacity in Under the Program, the Main implementation [in generation project management, including Distribution Unit items, which comprise and transmission projects] inadequate planning, the bulk of expenditure, are fairly engineering, procurement and standardized and do not involve contract implementation, in intricate engineering. Furthermore managing large and technically these items are procured centrally complex contract packages. In through framework agreements with addition, slow decision-making registered (pre- qualified) due to fragmented manufacturers in a streamlined manner. responsibilities, and rigid internal approval requirements. Implementation is decentralized through Wilayahs who procure the small value goods, works, and services. . Corporate reorganization is completed, project monitoring processes is improved, and delegation of authority is being considered to expedite approvals. 5 A framework for procurement performance monitoring and reporting to be undertaken by PLN has been agreed under the Program Action Plan.

Protection protection forests. forest use to be compensated through reforestation of twice the amount of land in adjacent property. Backlog for Government appointed surveyors to identify alternate land. 17. Lessons Learned from Past and Ongoing Operations: The choice of the PforR for the proposed operation has been informed by lessons learned from these operations, the GoI interest in piloting a results based approach in distribution, and experience from other countries. The PforR is designed to mitigate the implementation constraints encountered with past and ongoing generation and transmission projects as follows:  Implementation of distribution investments is decentralized to PLN’s branch offices (Wilayahs) which conduct the planning, design, procurement, contract management, payment, and commissioning processes. These decentralized arrangements have resulted in faster implementation with annual budget execution of about 80% compared to around 50% for transmission and generation projects.  The simpler nature of distribution activities and the small value of contracts also require simpler designs and project management. The specifications of Main Distribution Unit items, which comprise the bulk of expenditures under Program, are fairly standardized and procurement is carried out centrally and efficiently through framework contracts with registered (prequalified) manufacturers.  It will support the distribution segment of the power industry which typically has more limited environmental and social impacts. Unlike generation and transmission projects the requirements for land for substations are minimal and communities willingly donate and/or sell land in order to have the benefits of access to electricity. The land requirements for distribution lines are regularly mitigated by routing the lines through existing road corridors. 6 18. Although PLN’s implementation of the distribution program has fared much better than that of generation and transmission there exists scope for leveraging PLN’s program systems for distribution to speed up implementation even more and to achieve the key GOI objective of universal access to electricity in the next ten years as well as to improve efficiency and effectiveness of expenditures. By speeding up implementation, the PforR would help to increase the percentage of the population with access to electricity in Sumatra, a region with the largest population outside of Java-Bali. About 3.2 million additional customers will be added over the next five years. About 85 percent of the population already has access to power in Sumatra. The remaining population is either far from the grid in the remote areas or are the poorest households in already electrified areas. The program would therefore contribute to reaching the poorest and the bottom 40 percent of the population in Sumatra. 19. Given that substantial generation capacity reserves exist on Sumatra and that significant additional capacity is either already under construction or at procurement stages there is a need to speed up distribution system development to enable this power to be efficiently and reliably delivered to consumers1. The PforR instrument would help to speed up implementation by: a. focusing the attention of PLN and other concerned government agencies on results since disbursements of the Bank Loan would be based on results instead of expenditures as is the case with Investment Project Financing; b. allowing PLN to use its own program systems while simultaneously supporting the improvements of those systems – experience has shown that PLN has generally achieved higher rates of budget execution when using its own systems rather than those of the government and/or external development partners; and c. reducing the cost of doing business for PLN by allowing it to use the same systems (its own) for both International Financial Institutions (IFIs) financing the program i.e. the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the Bank 20. Not only is the PforR instrument expected to enable faster program implementation for the reasons explained above but it is also expected to contribute to improvements in the effectiveness of PLN’s expenditure programs and to the strengthening of institutions. 21. GoI’s Interest in Piloting Results-based Approaches. Given the implementation constraints experienced in generation the GoI is keen to launch results based approaches to improve project implementation outcomes. The ADB has recently approved a results-based loan of about US$600 million to support transmission and distribution in Sumatra for the same 5-year period, of which US$420 million is for distribution. These results-based loans offer PLN an opportunity to pilot a new approach to providing incentives for improving implementation performance, developing institutional capacity, and lending to SoEs through the direct lending mechanism. As the first PforR in Indonesia its successful implementation has the potential to facilitate the adoption of similar innovative mechanisms in other parts of the country and in other sectors. The PforR is closely aligned with the Energy Development Policy Lending (DPL) series, the first of which was approved by the Board in early December 2015, in that improvements in the                                                              1 The pipeline of generation and transmission projects is not fully funded and hence the IFI’s support for distribution will enable PLN to shift more resources to these projects as well as towards projects in other regions. 7 policy framework leveraged by the DPL series, including on tariff reforms, will help to improve the viability of distribution investments carried out under the Program. 22. Experience from distribution sectors in other countries. The PforR instrument is suitable for supporting distribution activities because the outputs and outcomes of distribution activities are more easily measurable and verifiable, criteria that is critical for a system that disburses based on achievements rather than on expenditures. Although this would be the first PforR supported by the Bank in the power distribution sector globally the linkage of disbursements to results is similar to output-based lending which has been used quite extensively and successfully in the power distribution sector in many countries. 23. Finally, the PforR is also an appropriate instrument to deploy for the proposed investments given the existence of a well-defined government program. II. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION A. Program Scope 24. PLN’s current power expansion plan comprising generation, transmission and distribution investment requirements (the “Rencana Usaha Penyediaan Tenaga Listrik” or RUPTL) covers the period 2015-2024. The broader context for the RUPTL is the Rencana Umum Ketenagalistrikan Nasional (RUKN) which is a 20-year national policy document approved by Parliament. The RUKN provides the GoI’s policy guidance for preparation of the RUPTL. This guidance is related primarily to the projected energy demand and desired targets for electrification and the energy mix of production. The current RUKN was approved by Parliament in 2008 and covers the period up to 2027. 25. To close the power infrastructure gap which is constraining economic growth the current administration is focusing on implementation of the 5-year time slice of the RUPTL covering the period 2015-2019. Consistent with both the RUKN and the RUPTL the key objectives of the 5-year time slice are to increase access to electricity for household consumers and to meet the economy’s power needs while improving efficiency and reliability of supply. Its specific key targets are to increase generation capacity by 35 GW and increase access to electricity from 85%, to 97% by 2019. Further, PLN’s detailed implementation plan envisages improvements in efficiency (loss reduction) and reliability indicators (SAIDI and SAIFI) as detailed in Annex 4. 26. The estimated total costs of the RUPTL for 2015-2019 are US$83.4 billion of which US$58.9 billion is for generation, US$17.1 billion is for transmission, and US$7.4 billion is for distribution as shown in Table 1 below. Excluding the expected private sector financing for generation, PLN’s investment requirements for the 5 years to 2019 are US$43.3 billion of which US$11.75 billion are for the Sumatra region. 8 Table 1: Power Sector Expansion Expenditure Plan (RUPTL) for 2015-2019 Expenditure type Total PLN Sumatra only (US$billion) (US$billion) Generation by PLN 18.80 4.40 by IPPs 40.10 8.64 Total 58.90 13.04 Transmission by PLN 17.10 5.90 Distribution by PLN 7.40 1.45 Total Sector Expenditure Plan 83.40 20.39 Total PLN Expenditure Plan2 43.30 11.75 27. The Government’s program on which the proposed PforR is based is the national distribution component of the 2015-2019 time slice of the RUPTL which is estimated to cost US$7.4 billion. The program comprises activities aimed at improving distribution system planning capabilities, increasing access to electricity by connecting new customers and improving existing distribution networks, and increasing the efficiency and quality of services to existing consumers. Bank Financed Program-for-Results 28. The PforR Program to be supported by the Bank is a geographic slice of the distribution component of the RUPTL in that it would only cover Indonesia’s Sumatra region out of the national distribution plan for the period 2015-2019. It is also a time slice in that it covers the first five years of the sector expansion plan for the period 2015-2019. The estimated cost of the Sumatra distribution program is US$1.45 billion or about 20% of the total national distribution for the five years. 29. PLN has selected the Sumatra region for coverage under the proposed program based on several specific criteria. First, Sumatra has the largest population center outside Java Bali with about 54 million people, of which 9 million have no access to electricity and it is an important economic growth center for Indonesia. Second, there are substantial existing and planned generation and transmission investments in Sumatra that require complementary investment in distribution in order to enable the power produced when these investments are commissioned to be delivered to the regional economy. Third, a focus on Sumatra offers the best prospect for fast progress towards achieving the RUPTL’s national ER target of 99.4 percent by 2024. Up to about 3.2 million customers could be added to the grid in the 5 year period to 2019 resulting in an increase in the regional electrification ratio from 85 percent to about 90 percent. Fourth, the region offers the best opportunity for “piloting” the use of the IFI’s performance-based lending instruments, learning lessons, and improving effectiveness of its program expenditure management before attempting to use them in the more difficult terrain of Eastern Indonesia.                                                              2 Excluding private sector financing of generation capacity expansion 9 30. PLN’s strategy is mobilize substantial private sector resources for generation and to focus its own resources and those from multilateral funding agencies to finance transmission and distribution activities. 31. The Program will support implementation of activities designed to achieve PLN’s program goals in five result areas as follows: Result Area 1: Improved access to electricity . To achieve this objective the Program will support the expansion of the distribution network with approximately: (i) 19,487 circuit-km of MV and 23,594 circuit-km of LV distribution lines; and (ii) 28,327 transformer units with a total MVA capacity of 2,895. These network improvements will enable PLN to connect about 3.2 million additional customers over the 2015-2019 period. Result Area 2: Improved quality of service. Activities to improve the quality of service will involve system reinforcement and upgrading and customer outage management. In addition the Program activities will include upgrading of Distribution Control Centers to SCADA functionality and completion of a GIS database in each Wilayah. These activities will improve the accuracy of measuring system reliability using the System Average Interruption Duration Index (SAIDI) and System Average Interruption Frequency Index (SAIFI) - internationally recognized standards for measuring system reliability. Reduced MV feeder technical interruptions, and decreases in the frequency and duration of outages and in voltage fluctuations will indicate an improvement in the quality of services. Result Area 3: Improved distribution efficiency. To achieve this objective the Program will support rehabilitation and upgrading of existing distribution lines and substations, and installation of additional substations and of improved metering devices. Distribution losses, a key barometer of utility performance, deteriorated significantly in 2013 (ranged from 7.4%-14.7% among the Wilayahs) and again in 2015 after showing a modest recovery in 2014. The expected additions to the system of 80 grid substations (under PLN’s transmission program and not part of the PforR) by 2017 will help to reduce system losses. The Program will complement loss reduction efforts by: (i) expanding, rehabilitating, and upgrading the distribution lines and substations; (ii) increasing the number of distribution transformers and thereby improving the LV/MV ratio in the network; and (iii) supporting improved network planning. Result Area 4: Increased power consumption . The GoI’s expectation is that increased household connections will translate into higher levels of electricity consumption which would contribute to improved productivity and income growth among the population although per capita consumption may initially decline as poorer consumers are connected. The Program will, therefore, also measure the increases in sales to residential customers that will result from implementation of the Program activities. All the activities that will be implemented under the Program to increase access, improve quality of services and to improve efficiency 10 and institutional capacity will also contribute to increased power consumption by relieving constraints that have kept average annual growth rates at about 8 percent and below . However, achievement of this goal will also be influenced by activities outside the program related to generation and transmission components of the RUPTL and the risks related thereto are moderate. The risks and the relevant measures to manage them are explained in the integrated risk framework. Result Area 5: Improved institutional capacity. The Program’s institutional capacity building objectives are to improve distribution system planning and budgeting and to improve operational management. 32. To strengthen distribution planning the Program will include the following activities: (i) review, update and issuance of revised distribution planning guidelines; (ii) integration of planning software with GIS databases; (iii) enabling the use of planning software by multiple users at each location through procurement of a corporate license. 33. Activities to integrate budgeting with Enterprise Resource Planning system (ERP) will be extended to cover all Wilayahs in Sumatra. Under the Program, PLN will review the potential to optimize the use of GIS databases, not only for distribution planning but also for customer outage management, transformer load management and asset management functions. Program Beneficiaries 34. The principal Program beneficiaries will include: (a) about 3.2 million new customers that will be connected to the grid and benefit from a more reliable energy source; (b) existing industrial and commercial customers who will benefit from increased quality of service and will thus be able to better plan their operations; (iii) domestic contractors who will have the opportunity to bid and participate in the implementation of the Program; (iv) local equipment and materials suppliers who will be able to bid and supply the Wilayahs with distribution materials; and (v) the local population that will benefit from increased employment opportunities during construction as the Program represents a significant scale up of PLN’s distribution activities. About 50.1% of beneficiaries are expected to be women (based on 2011 population data). The project will neither directly promote nor sustain any gender inequalities in the country. Increased access to electricity will in general benefit both men and women, however regional and global evidence suggests that women in particular benefit.3                                                              3 According to the EAP Companion to the World Development Report 2012, “Toward Gender Equality in East Asia and Pacific”: While lack of electricity affect both female- and male-led enterprises, evidence suggests that such constraints may be more onerous among small and informal firms than among larger firms and, therefore, may constrain female-led enterprises disproportionately. In Indonesia female-led enterprises tend to be smaller, more precarious, less capital-intensive and less productive than male-led enterprises (Indonesia Country Gender Action Plan). Furthermore, having access to electricity extends the hours available for both productive and leisure activities, particularly for women and girls (World Bank, 2012). 11 Table 2: Program Financing (US$Million) Source Amount % of Total Government PT PLN 530 37 IBRD 500 34 Other Development Partners Asian Development Bank 420 29 Total Program Financing 1,450 100 The Asian Development Bank’s Program 35. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has prepared and negotiated a Results Based Loan (RBL) of US$600 million to PLN. The ADB RBL instrument is very similar to the PforR. The RBL will support PLN’s transmission and distribution expenditure program over the 2015-19 period in the Sumatra region. Thus, both ADB and the Bank are proposing to provide parallel financing for the same distribution program in Sumatra over the same period. The only difference in program coverage is that of the US$600 million ADB Loan about US$180 million will be used to support prior results of the transmission component of the RUPTL; otherwise the Disbursement-Linked Indicators (DLIs), the implementation, monitoring and evaluation arrangements have been successfully harmonized through consultations and information sharing during the preparation process. ADB has also agreed to use the same Independent Verification Agent that PLN will retain for the PforR. B. Program Development Objective (PDO) 36. The program’s development objective is to increase access to electricity services and to improve the efficiency and reliability of their delivery in selected areas of Indonesia. C. Program Key Results and Disbursement Linked Indicators 37. The Program’s key outcome indicators are as follows and the Results Framework is provided in Annex 2: a. The additional total number of customers connected to PLN’s grid. This indicator measures the degree of access to electricity achieved by the Program. b. Reduction in System Average Interruption Duration Index (SAIDI) and System Average Interruption Frequency Index (SAIFI). These are internationally accepted measures of power supply reliability. c. Percentage reduction in distribution system losses. This is a key parameter for assessing system efficiency improvements. d. Annual increases in sales in GWh to residential customers to measure increases in consumption enabled by the Program. 12 e. Improved capacity for distribution planning, procurement and contract management. 38. The Program results chain summarizing the expected outcomes, the intermediate indicators and the relevant activities that will be undertaken by the Program to achieve the PDO are summarized in Table 3. The proposed DLIs are shown in bold in the intermediate/outputs and outcomes columns of the table. Table 3: Program Results Chain Result Area Activities Intermediate indicators/outputs Outcomes RA 1: Improved Extension of 20kV Annual approved work plans (RKAP) Number of residential access to electricity distribution lines Percentage of work plans completed customers connected Additional Length of distribution lines (increase in kms) Additional capacity of distribution transformers (increase in MVA) RA 2: Improved System Annual approved work plans (RKAP) Reduction in SAIFI and quality of service reinforcement Percentage of work plans completed SAIDI Customer outage Additional Length of distribution Improved voltage profile management lines (increase in kms) Number of MV feeder interruptions per 100 kms Additional Capacity of distribution transformers (increase in MVA) RA 3: Increased Rehabilitate and Approved annual work plans (RKAP) Reduction in distribution distribution upgrade Percentage of work plans completed losses efficiency distribution lines Additional distribution transformer Rehabilitate and units upgrade substations Improved metering RA 4: Increased All the above Volume of additional power consumption activities will Approved annual work plans (RKAP energy sales to residential contribute to this Percentage of work plans completed customers (increase in result area TWh) RA 5: Institutional Improve Issue revised distribution planning Increased efficiency in strengthening and distribution guidelines program implementation capacity building planning Enhanced use of GIS facilities Integrate budgeting with ERP in all Program Wilayahs Staff training Number of certified and skilled systems planners and procurement staff Post PLN Increased procurement Procurement transparency regulations on website Implement Contract data publicly available Increased procurement upgraded e- transparency procurement system and post contract award details in e- procurement system Conduct Mfg. capacity shortfalls if any, Assurance of timely assessment of local identified and actions taken to equipment deliveries broaden the mfg. base. 13 mfg. capacity for MDU items Strengthen regulations and establish Improve complaint handling Prepare a roadmap mechanism mechanism to implement a whistleblower mechanism Disclosure of PLN blacklist made publicly available Improved transparency PLN’s blacklist onto website & electronic portal Develop Systematic monitoring of Assurance of timely framework for procurement performance Program implementation procurement performance monitoring and reporting 39. The DLIs have been selected and agreed upon with PLN. The selection of DLIs was guided by three key considerations. For each result area, the use of the identified outcome indicators as DLIs was considered first as this would directly provide the incentives for meeting program goals. The second step was to consider the feasibility of measuring, monitoring and verifying the indicators. In cases where the measurement and monitoring of outcome indicators presented difficulties due, for example, to deficiencies in PLN’s systems the use of output/intermediate indicators was considered. In the latter situation, the choice of specific intermediate/output indicators was guided by their significance in signaling progress towards achieving the planned outcomes. Finally, the selection of DLIs was informed and coordinated with the Asian Development Bank who are financing the same program in Sumatra. The selection of DLIs has therefore been harmonized with the ADB. 40. There are ten DLIs. Loan allocations for prior results are embedded in DLIs 1-7. The DLIs comprise a mix of outcome indicators (2) and intermediate indicators (8). Five of the intermediate/output DLIs fall under the institutional strengthening and capacity building results area and are intended to facilitate process/behavioral changes that will speed up preparation of annual plans, facilitate program budgeting, and improve distribution planning –changes that will in turn facilitate the achievement of the Program’s objectives. This set of DLIs will seek to help PLN to achieve potential program system improvements that were identified during the technical and fiduciary assessments. The other three intermediate/output DLIs relate to important program implementation milestones (that will signal progress towards achievement of program outcomes). For example, reduced technical interruptions per 100 kms of MV distribution lines will signal improvements in the quality of power services whereas increases in kilometers of MV distribution lines will signal the increased potential for additional customer connections. 41. Apart from the institutional strengthening and capacity building results area all the indicators are already being measured and monitored by PLN. The rationale for the choice of DLIs by result area is further elaborated below: 14 a. Improved Access to electricity: The number of residential customer connections is a key indicator used by both PLN and the GOI to assess progress of the country’s electrification goals. This is a direct outcome measure for access that is easy to measure, monitor and verify. In addition to this indicator the Bank and PLN agreed to also use the length of additional MV distribution lines as an additional DLI for increased access given that it is an important signal of progress towards increasing customer connections. It will also measure network coverage which is an indicator of possible additional connections that will materialize in future. b. Improved quality of service: Ideally SAIDI and SAIFI would be the best outcome measures for assessing the quality of services. However, PLN’s procedures for measuring SAIDI and SAIFI while improving are still work in progress and will be strengthened with the conversion of distribution control centers into full SCADA functionality and with the completion of installation of GIS facilities in all Wilayahs during the Program period. Hence the Bank and PLN agreed to use the number of MV feeder technical interruptions per 100 km (an intermediate indicator) as the DLI for this result area. Nonetheless SAIDI and SAIFI indicators will be monitored and reported under the Program’s Results Framework. c. Increased efficiency: Distribution system losses are a key measure of a utility’s operational efficiency. Recent trends, however, have seen distribution losses increasing in both 2013 and during the first half of 2015. The improvement of distribution losses is heavily dependent on the completion of the new grid substations and associated transmission lines (a complementary project but outside the scope of this project). Without the timely completion of these grid substations technical losses are expected to increase with the added network loads. Furthermore while some investments in the Program will help to reduce losses others such as network expansion may actually increase losses. The Bank and PLN have agreed to focus efforts on improving network planning to minimize losses. They have also agreed to use additional number of transformer units installed, an intermediate indicator, as the DLI for this result area. The additional number of transformers connected will help PLN to focus on reducing LV feeder lengths and increasing MV coverage which will help reduce the technical losses in the LV system. d. Increased power consumption: This is a straightforward measure that captures the translation of increased residential customer connections (the DLI under RA 1) into actual access benefits for the beneficiaries. It also captures the increase in consumption of existing consumers which sometimes need to be facilitated by network improvements. This also is a measure that PLN ordinarily monitors and is easily verifiable through billing reports. The use of this measure as a DLI will give PLN incentive to increase actual power flows and not only customer connections. e. Institutional strengthening and capacity building: The two prior results and three DLIs for this results area are based on the prioritized recommendations of the draft technical and fiduciary assessments. For prior results the approval of 2016 work plans is intended to provide PLN with an incentive to expedite the approvals before 15 the start of its fiscal year so that its Wilayahs have enough time to fully implement the plans within the year; while the selection of the IVA is meant to provide independent verification of Program results. The two DLIs for the implementation phase are intended to strengthen distribution system planning and improve program budgeting. The measures supported by the institutional strengthening and capacity building results area will be expected to positively impact implementation of the entire PLN distribution program beyond Sumatra and beyond the RPJMN (Medium Term Infrastructure Development Plan) in the long term. 42. Table 4 below shows the allocation of the IBRD Loan to the DLIs, including the allocation to prior results, as agreed with PLN during preparation of the Program. A detailed DLI matrix is presented in Annex 4. The allocation of the IBRD Loan among the ten DLIs was guided by two main considerations. First, in the hierarchy of the government’s program goals is increasing the electrification ratio to near universal levels by 2024. Hence the bulk of the Loan (US$306 million) is allocated to the three related DLIs of customer connections and growth in residential energy sales (1, 2 and 5). The second hierarchy of program goals relate to enhancing distribution efficiency and the quality of services and about US$125 million was allocated to the DLIs (3 and 4) related to these goals. Table 4: Disbursement Linked Indicators Results DLI# Disbursement Linked Indicators Indicative Loan Allocation (US$ Million) Improved access to 1  Additional Number of Customers 145.56 Electricity 2  Additional Length of MV distribution lines (km) 55.00 Improved quality of 3  Number of MV feeder technical interruptions per 100 60.00 services km Increased efficiency 4  Additional distribution transformer units 65.56 Increased power 5  Growth in residential energy sales (%) 105.55 consumption Institutional Prior results (16.00) strengthening and 6  FY 2016 Annual Work Plan approved 15.00 capacity building 7  PLN has collaborated with development partners in 1.00 the recruitment of an independent verification agent DLIs during implementation (52.33) 8  Integrate budgeting with ERP in all Program Wilayahs 19.00 9  Issue revised planning guidelines acceptable to the 25.00 10 Bank  Integrate planning software with GIS facilities 8.33 Total 500.00 D. Key Capacity Building and Systems Strengthening Activities 43. An important feature of this operation is institutional strengthening and capacity building to further improve PLN’s effectiveness in implementing its power distribution program. The 16 technical, fiduciary and governance assessments have identified a number of areas for systems strengthening. 44. PLN’s systems for distribution planning can be improved to optimize outcomes related to distribution losses and power supply reliability levels. Its procurement and contract management practices require strengthening to increase transparency and ensure competition for the supply of materials and equipment which could lead to better bid prices and more efficient program costs. 45. Financial management of the program could be enhanced by: (i) strengthening the capacity and accountability of SPKK, the performance verification unit that reports to PLN’s President Director; (ii) linking the budget to ERP application in order to facilitate budget preparation and monitoring; and (iii) implementing appropriate modifications to ERP to facilitate financial reporting. 46. These capacity building and systems strengthening needs have been incorporated in the Program design as follows: (i) through DLIs and prior results fulfilment of which will trigger disbursement of the loan amounts allocated to the DLIs 6-10; and (ii) as specific actions to be undertaken by PLN under the Program Action Plan during the program period and within agreed time frames (Annex 8). 47. For actions requiring resources PLN has opted to use its own resources instead of seeking technical assistance, except for an assessment of needs for upgrading distribution control centers to full SCADA functionality for which PLN has requested the Bank’s support in securing grant financing. PLN will retain the services of an Independent Verification Agent (IVA) for the duration of the Program to verify the achievement of DLIs and to support the capacity building of SPKK. ADB has agreed to finance the first two years of the verification agent’s services and PLN will ensure availability of funding for the remainder of the Program period. During negotiations the terms of reference for the IVA were agreed upon with PLN. III. PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION A. Institutional and Implementation Arrangements 48. The program will be administered by a central Project Management Unit (PMU) located at PLN’s headquarters, but the physical implementation activities will be carried out by PLN’s regional offices called “Wilayahs”. The Wilayahs have been carrying out similar programs over the years and are experienced and capable of managing the distribution construction work envisaged under the program. Most material requirements will be requisitioned from approved suppliers under PLN’s Supply Chain Management (SCM) system and the balance of items will be procured locally by the Wilayahs. The construction works contracts will be procured by the Wilayahs. All implementation activities will be carried out by the respective contracts divisions within each Wilayah and overseen by the distribution systems manager under the Wilayah General Manager. The PMU supported by the Wilayahs will bear overall responsibility for the work program, quality and timeliness of the program works, and its satisfactory completion. 17 B. Results Monitoring and Evaluation 49. Annex 2 presents the Program’s Results Framework. PLN, as implementing agency, will have the responsibility for overall Program results monitoring and evaluation. Within PLN the specialized performance monitoring unit (Satuan Pemantau Kinerja Korporat - SPKK) will collect and consolidate data from the Wilayahs and assist the PMU to prepare a quarterly performance monitoring report. SPKK’s role under the Program is in line with its existing mandate to report to PLN’s President Director on corporate performance against the agreed key performance indicators. The Wilayahs also currently maintain statistics on virtually all the indicators for which they will be required to provide data under the Program. While PLN’s evaluation capacity and established procedures are reasonable the Program will bring added value by helping PLN to further strengthen its monitoring and evaluation methodologies and capacity through the assistance of a third party verification agent as described in para 51 below. C. Verification Protocols and Disbursement Arrangements 50. Verification Protocols: In line with the Bank’s policy for PforRs, PLN will retain an IVA on terms of reference acceptable to the Bank to verify the achievement of DLI results. As agreed with PLN the same IVA will be used to verify DLIs under both the ADB and the IBRD loans. While the Borrower is responsible for engaging the IVA, in order to engage the IVA in time for the Program’s prior results to be verified by loan signing (expected around the end of April 2016), funding for this IVA will initially be sourced through an ADB administered grant using ADB’s procurement procedures. This grant is expected to cover the initial two years of the IVA’s engagement. Subsequent to this PLN will put in place an arrangement for retaining an IVA for both IFI loans for the remaining period of the Program on the basis of terms of reference satisfactory to the Bank. 51. The IVA will verify results through financial audit, procedural verification, and physical inspection that will test the accuracy and quality of results claimed by PLN. In accordance with good audit practice, physical verification will take place against a sampling framework and frequency. The level of calibration will be detailed in the terms of reference or Verification Protocol that is satisfactory to the Bank. The IVA will use the Verification Protocol as the basis for preparation of a Program Results Verification Report that will be submitted to the Bank by PLN. 52. Disbursements: The Loan proceeds will be disbursed against submission to the Bank of the IVA’s Program Results Verification Report on the achievement of DLIs. PLN will present the Program Results Verification Report to the Bank within three months of the end of each calendar year. The Bank will use the Program Results Verification Report to determine the amount of the eligible disbursements to be made based on the results achieved. 53. PLN understands that if after the Loan Closing Date the Bank establishes that the Withdrawn Financing Balance exceeds the total amount paid for Program Expenditures, exclusive of any such amounts financed by any other financier or by the Bank under any other loan, credit or grant, the Borrower shall promptly upon notice from the Bank, refund to the 18 Bank such excess amount of the Withdrawn Financing Balance. The Bank shall then cancel the refunded amount of the Withdrawn Financing Balance. 54. Prior Results: An amount of up to US$ 100 million has been allocated for prior results. Of this amount about US$83 million is embedded in DLIs 1-5 and US$16 million is provided under the institutional and capacity building result area, (DLI 6 and 7 for completion of the FY2016 annual work plan and the recruitment of the IVA respectively). Disbursements for prior results will be made against the verification of the results following the effectiveness of the Loan. IV. ASSESSMENT SUMMARY A. Technical 55. Strategic Relevance and Program Structure: The Government has developed an overall program to address the goal of increasing economic growth to 7 percent or above in the medium term in order to reduce inequality and poverty in the country. A crucial component of this program is the role of infrastructure development, in particular electrical energy. Overall, the Government’s target is to achieve near complete electrification of the country by 2024 and improve performance of the sector’s operations. The development program is well structured and built up in a number of stages. The overall framework for the development of the power distribution sector is established in the RUPTL which provides an identification of stakeholder expectations and PLN’s own mission and goals. The next stage deals with the formulation of a strategy by analyzing the village electrification road map, PLN’s short and long term goals, operational issues, key performance indicators and strategic initiatives and leads to the preparation of a five year investment plan which is called the Rencana Jangka Penjang (RJP) that is prepared for each Wilayah. When developing the RJP a detailed review of the performance over the past 5 years is conducted (Kriteria Penilaian Kinerja Unggul or KPKU assessment) including a SWOT analysis to assist in developing a more focused approach to meeting the goals set for the next five years. The proposals in the RJP are next translated into an annual implementation plan and budget which is called the Rencana Kerja Anggaran Perusahaan (RKAP). The RKAP spells out the details of network expansion and improvements to be carried out in each year along with the related budgetary costs. 56. According to the RUPTL for 2015-24, Sumatra’s distribution system needs additional network facilities of around 20,000 circuit km of MV lines, 23,000 circuit km of LV lines and 2,895 MVA or 28, 000 units of distribution transformers. It is observed that in respect of PLN’s budgeted work program about 80 percent of the approved works are completed each year and the remaining items are carried forward to the following year. The overall progress on planned distribution works is considered to be satisfactory. 57. The key program objectives may be broken down to its key components as follows: a. Improve access to electricity. b. Improve quality of service. c. Improve distribution efficiency. d. Increase supply of electricity for local development. 19 e. Institutional development. 58. A program for the improvement of customer service such as enhancement of outage management services and attending to consumer requests is also addressed when preparing the annual budgetary requirements. Activities under components a, b and c will mostly influence each other, but are classified according to their prime targets. Technical Soundness 59. All network development and improvement activities are planned by the planning unit of the respective Wilayahs. This unit utilizes the distribution planning software called Electrical Transient and Analysis Program (ETAP) to model the network and to undertake load flow studies to provide performance characteristics such as network voltages and losses for development proposals under consideration. ETAP is industry standard software and is used by many utilities and consultants worldwide and provides an acceptable basis for identification and justification of the development projects. A series of discussions between PLN corporate headquarters and the respective Wilayah on the related technical and budgetary issues leads to the finalization of the above investment plans which are then implemented by each Wilayah. During preparation the Bank team agreed with PLN on a number of areas for improvement such as integrating GIS data into program planning, reviewing technical standards, and improved attention to the rural electrification component to speed up access to non-electrified areas, etc. 60. Distribution system losses is a key barometer of the performance of a power utility. Distribution losses at PLN have increased during 2012-14 with Sumatra distribution losses being 11.9 percent in 2014. The increase in distribution losses is attributed to the delay in high voltage substation construction, combined with the expansion of the MV Network to reach scattered consumers. The overall deterioration in loss performance is a matter of concern and a detailed evaluation of the causes for the increase in losses will be carried out under the Program along with a proposed upgrading of PLN’s distribution control centers, and investment in distribution substations. 61. The Wilayahs have adequate technical, and organization capacity to operate and maintain their distribution assets. During Program preparation the Bank’s technical assessment confirmed that the distribution assets are well maintained and in good condition. In the past PLN has allocated adequate funding for operation and maintenance of the Wilayahs distribution assets in the range of 3-5 percent of capital expenditures in line with best industry practices. Future allocations will be assured through the recently introduced Performance-based Regulation which allows for adequate maintenance in tariff setting thus assuring PLN of adequate revenues to cover O&M costs.  62. Results Monitoring and Evaluation Capacity: PLN’s annual program review when preparing the RKAP budget and activities for the next year offers a good opportunity for annual monitoring of the program. Statistics maintained by each Wilayah on the agreed KPIs also offer an effective facility for the monitoring of results. PLN’s evaluation capacity is satisfactory and procedures already established for the program arrangements described above provide an effective vehicle for efficient supervision. In addition PLN has established a specialized 20 performance monitoring unit, the SPKK. The SPKK has a comprehensive computerized program to measure performance against established KPIs. This program is based on a data entry system that limits the possibility for tampering with the results. SPKK reports directly to the company’s President Director and prepares regular reports on corporate performance against the agreed key performance indicators. Although this is a credible framework for results monitoring there is room to improve monitoring and evaluation capacity at PLN corporate level by strengthening the approaches, and methodologies used by SPKK. This will be supported through the services of an IVA to be retained by PLN for the duration of the Program. 63. Economic Evaluation: The program’s economic justification is based on improved operating characteristics of the existing networks as well as improved access. Improved operating characteristics will provide lower system losses (resulting in reduced generation costs and reductions of GHG emissions), improved supply reliability (resulting in increased consumer satisfaction as well as economic benefits of reduced outages) and lower rates of equipment damage and maintenance costs. Increased access will provide a number of economic benefits to currently unserved areas as well as better living standards in remote locations. 64. The main quantifiable benefit of the program is the incremental electricity that will be available. Electricity tariffs do not reflect the value of electricity in Indonesia. And a reliable measure of willingness to pay is not available for Sumatra. Therefore, the economic analysis values the incremental electricity at the weighted average cost at which electricity is supplied in Sumatra i.e. Rp. 1,876 per kWh (Achieving Universal Electricity Access in Indonesia, July 2015). This economic value is maintained throughout the evaluation period. 65. Results: A hurdle rate of 5 percent was used for the economic internal rate of return (EIRR) and the net present value (NPV) calculations. A salvage value of zero was assumed for the project’s investments. The results of the economic analysis, including the sensitivity analysis, are summarized in Table 5 where the base case shows an economic internal rate of return of 15.7 percent which exceeds the hurdle rate. 66. Sensitivity analysis: Three sensitivity scenarios were run on this result: increase in the project’s direct cost, reduction in the project’s benefits, and delay in the commencement of the project’s benefits stream. The analysis shows that the project is most vulnerable to a fall in its benefits by 5 percent which reduces the economic IRR to 12.6 percent. A decrease of 13.9% in benefits represents the switching value at which the economic IRR falls below the hurdle rate (i.e., negative NPV). The project is not highly sensitive to increases in direct cost. A 10 percent increase in direct cost brings the economic IRR down to 14.5 percent. The switching value is correspondingly high. If all three sensitivity scenarios are realized at once, the EIRR falls to 10.2 percent which is well above the hurdle rate. 21 Table 5: Results of Economic Analysis Results WITHOUT Results WITH Results of Economic Analysis emissions benefits emissions benefits Discount rate 5.00% EIRR NPV@ 5% EIRR NPV@ 5% Base Case 15.7% 14,468 17.8% 20,253 Project's direct cost increases by 10.0% 14.5% 13,565 16.6% 19,351 Project benefits reduce by 5.0% 12.6% 9,237 15.1% 14,733 Delay of 1 year 13.9% 12,418 15.9% 17,547 All impacts: 10%, cost increase, 5% 10.2% 6,780 12.5% 11,652 reduced benefits, 1 year delay 67. Financial Assessment: PLN is structured to operate on commercial principles. However due to the Government’s policy of keeping electricity tariffs below the cost of power supply for most consumer categories, PLN’s financial condition continues to rely on a Government public service obligation (PSO) subsidy. This PSO subsidy which covers the shortfall between electricity tariffs and PLN’s cost of power supply, and which the Government is legally required to pay, was 34 percent of PLN’s revenues in 2014. The Government commenced a tariff rationalization initiative in 2010 which has led to a series of tariff increases. 68. PLN continued to remain profitable during 2015 with a net profit of Rp. 396 billion (US$0.03 billion). PLN’s operating revenues (excluding PSO) increased from Rp. 193 trillion (US$15.5 billion) in 2014 to Rp. 217 trillion (US$15.7 billion) in 2015. A major contributor to this increase in operating revenues is the approximately 2.1 percent increase in energy sales volume, and the uprating of capacity of urban customers resulting in higher tariff revenues from these customers. PLN also remains sufficiently liquid4 and it has adequate headroom to cover its existing investment program and its operations.5 PLN has demonstrated the ability to borrow from both the local and global financial markets to meet its investment needs.6 However, PLN’s ability to leverage additional financing to cover future investments will remain contingent upon the Government meeting its financial obligation to PLN, and its commitment to the tariff reform agenda. PLN’s Financial Projections 69. PLN expects sales revenues, and revenues excluding Government subsidies to grow at an average annual rate of about 14.6 percent and 14.3 percent respectively during 2016-19. PLN’s operating costs and interest expenses are expected to be higher than its operating revenues during the projection years thereby requiring continued average annual Government PSO subsidy contributions of Rp. 54 trillion (US$3.9 billion). PLN is also expected to remain sufficiently liquid over the projection period with an average year-end cash balance of Rp. 23.7 trillion (US$1.7 billion).                                                              4 PLN’s liquidity decreased (in Rp.) from Rp. 27 trillion (US$2.2 billion) in 2014 to Rp. 23.5 trillion (U$$1.7 billion) in 2015. 5 PLN’s debt service coverage ratio is estimated to be 1.68 x during 2015 on a non-ISAK 8 basis. 6 During 2012, PLN issued a US$1 billion global medium term note (5.25% interest and 30 year maturity). 22 70. PLN’s capital investment forecasts show a 59 percent increase in expenditures from Rp. 50.2 trillion in 2015 to Rp. 79.8 trillion in 2016 with a further 136 percent increase to Rp. 188 trillion in 2017. This represents a huge scale-up in PLN’s capital expenditures from current levels (Rp. 50.2 trillion in 2015 against a planned Rp. 60.2 trillion for the year). This proposed substantial increase in capital spending would be extremely difficult to achieve in such a short time frame given the nascent proactive, market-oriented policy reform measures aimed at improving the delivery of electricity projects, combined with the challenging economic environment that has adversely impacted Government-supported liquidity enhancement and market access initiatives for PLN.7 This scale-up in capital spending will also place a significant burden on PLN’s borrowing capacity. PLN may therefore have to moderate during the initial years of the 35 GW program, the Government’s expectations of its ability to realize the proposed project commissioning and electrification targets under the RUPTL, and RUKN (national electrification program). 71. PLN may also experience financial stress due to the devaluation of the Indonesian Rupiah in recent years with the currency having dropped to its lowest level since 1998.8 While PLN’s revenues are in local currency, its financial obligations to international suppliers and lenders remain in hard currency. Recent delays in the disbursement of the PSO when combined with foreign exchange losses have required PLN to draw upon its cash reserves to meet its debt service obligations to its lenders, and make payments to its suppliers. PLN would need to proactively manage its foreign exchange exposure in order to guard against future foreign exchange losses undermining its financial position, liquidity, and market access. 72. PLN has also revalued its assets which has improved its leverage ratios, but the revaluation has generated a tax liability of Rp. 19 trillion of which Rp. 13 trillion is due in 2016 making up most of the Rp. 14.07 trillion in tax payables for the year. This is higher than the Rp. 9 trillion (including Rp. 6 trillion related to the revaluation) of taxes paid during 2015 and Rp. 1.7 trillion in 2014. If PLN were to pay this tax liability during 2016, when combined with a maturing US$ 550 million bond, it could lead to a decline in its debt service coverage ratio to below 1x. PLN has instead requested a waiver of this tax liability under a prevailing presidential decree. Alternatively it may seek a conversion of this liability into Government equity. Monitoring PLN’s Financial Condition 73. PLN is undertaking a significant investment program while the sector is undergoing reforms in pricing and subsidies. In view of PLN’s current and projected financial information, the financial covenant of the debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) of 1.5 times which is the same ratio as under the ongoing IPF loans is considered to be appropriate for this Program. Although the Government incurred PSO arrears of Rp. 19.7 trillion by December 31, 2015, these arrears                                                              7 The Government is planning an equity infusion of Rp. 10 trillion during 2016 to improve PLN’s liquidity and access to bank and capital markets. 8 PLN’s foreign exchange losses as per its revised financial information were Rp. 28.06 trillion as of December 31, 2015 While historically 3 - 5 % of forex losses are actually realized, the upcoming maturity of US$1.05 billion of bonds in a depressed FX environment could place additional strains on PLN’s liquidity. 23 are expected to be paid under a payment plan agreed upon with PLN9. Based on these developments, PLN have moderated their capital expenditure program and have discussed their revised capital investment outlook with their investors and with the ratings agencies accordingly. In response to a request from the Ministry of Finance, the Bank and ADB made a decision not to exercise any remedies with respect to their respective financial covenants related to the DSCR for a temporary period up to June 30, 2016, for ongoing projects where PLN is acting as an Implementing Agency. The decision was meant to give the Government time to adjust to fiscal pressures during a challenging economic environment during which it needs to address competing expenditure priorities. It is expected that after June 30, 2016 the Government will be able to make the required financial transfers under its PSO obligation to PLN to enable them to return to compliance with the covenant. PLN’s financial condition would therefore need to be monitored closely in the next few years to ensure that its financial strategy remains relevant to keep it on a strong financial footing. 74. A detailed analysis of PLN’s financial condition is available in the Bank’s Project Files. B. Fiduciary 75. A Fiduciary Systems Assessment (FSA) was carried out to evaluate the arrangements relevant to the Program and to determine whether they provide reasonable assurance that the Program funds will be used for their intended purpose. Taking into account the improvements required and the agreement on the actions required to strengthen the systems (which are reflected in the PAP), the overall fiduciary framework is considered adequate to support the Program management and to achieve the desired results with due attention to the principles of economy, efficiency, effectiveness, transparency and accountability. Financial Management Systems 76. PLN has been the recipient of financial assistance from several donors, including the Bank, and it has met the Bank’s reporting requirements under ongoing IPF loans by submitting IFRs and audited financial statements on time. PLN has also introduced an appropriate segregation of duties between its technical and financial/administration functions, and its operational policies are documented in a manual. Changes in policies and procedures are formalized through the issuance of circulars by Directors. For the distribution program, the budget is prepared and compiled by PLN’s Wilayahs which are then consolidated at PLN Headquarters. The budget is allocated to recipient Wilayahs following a review, prioritization, and approval process during a stakeholders’ meeting at PLN Headquarters. The entire budget planning through effectiveness process could take up to nine months to complete. 77. Payments can be done only when the budget is effective and funds are available. Control over budget availability is maintained manually, as the budget application is not linked to the Enterprise Resource Planning system (ERP).                                                              9 Rp. 7 trillion in 2014 PSO receivables has already been paid to PLN by the Government by December 2015. The remaining 2014 balance of Rp. 12.3 trillion is expected to be repaid monthly over four months starting February 2016 (about Rp. 3 trillion a month). 24 78. For distribution related projects implemented by the Wilayahs, technical verification and payments are done by relevant sections at the Wilayah level. From the assessments conducted by the FM team, adequate controls appear to be in place for the technical verification and payments processes. On average the Wilayahs pay third party invoices within 10 days of receipt. This contrasts with up to 46 days taken by PLN Headquarters to make payments related to activities financed under IPF loans. Payments by PLN Headquarters take much longer due to the multiple layers (PLN Wilayah office, PLN Headquarters, Directorate General of SMI within MOF, State Treasury Office) of verification and approval prior to a request for payment being submitted to the Bank. Under the proposed PforR, payments will be done directly by the Wilayah office. 79. A consolidated financial report is prepared monthly by PLN Headquarters. The consolidation is done manually as the ERP system cannot accommodate some reporting formats requested by the Board of Directors (BOD). 80. PLN Headquarters monitors Wilayah performance against the achievement of key performance indicators that are directly linked to the issuance of personnel performance bonuses. Monitoring of KPIs is undertaken through a review and oversight of the same by the internal audit (SPI), and corporate performance monitoring (SPKK) divisions. While SPI staff are based both at headquarters and at the Wilayahs, SPKK’s monitoring is mostly done virtually by headquarters staff through video conference on a quarterly and monthly basis. 81. The Program audit will be conducted by a private audit firm as part of the annual audit of PLN’s financial statements. The private auditor shall also provide an auditor’s opinion on the Program. The private audit firm shall continue to select Wilayah offices to be visited based on risks and include distribution investments in the audit. The entity audit report should be submitted to the Bank not later six months after the end of PLN’s fiscal year. Procurement Systems: 82. The Program does not envisage any large value contracts that could exceed the OPRC Threshold. Based on the procurement of major goods i.e. Main Distribution Unit (MDU) items in year 2015 (consolidated procurement is carried out by PLN for the whole of Indonesia through framework contracts), the size of the contracts for Sumatra under the Program in 2015 is between US$10,000 to US$10 million. PLN’s revised Procurement Regulations, effective since January 2015 are based on modern procurement concepts; embody general principles of Public procurement i.e. efficiency, effectiveness, competition, transparency, and fairness; and include several features of the World Bank’s new Procurement Policy framework. The new procurement regulations are in the initial stages of implementation and the effectiveness of the procurement systems is yet to be fully ascertained. However, the assessment from the initial stages of the implementation of the new regulation provides reasonable assurance that the procurement systems under the Program will achieve the intended results. 83. Over ninety percent of the total procurement expenditure (comprising of goods i.e. MDUs and small value works, and goods procured by about 240 units at regional and area levels) are sourced through an open competitive bidding process. Out of these items, sixteen MDU items which constitute about 75-80 percent of the expenditure are procured under framework contracts 25 entered into with local manufacturers for the whole of Indonesia including the Sumatra region. Eleven MDU items constituting about 70-75 percent of procurement expenditure are procured by first qualifying the manufacturers (called Registration or DPT) from within Indonesia against pre-disclosed criteria and then inviting bids from those qualified manufacturers. Five MDU items (plus one type of MV panel) comprising around 6-8 percent of total expenditures have only two qualified manufacturers in Indonesia and PLN enters into Direct Contracting (Direct Appointments) with each of the two manufacturers through an “open book method.” While the procurement of MDUs is from manufacturers from Indonesia with local content ranging between 10-60 percent, the assessment shows the presence of major international manufacturers in Indonesia and adequate bid response in the procurement of MDUs from local manufacturers (except for items procured through the open book method). 84. The procurement procedures and systems under PLN’s distribution program are more streamlined when compared to procurement processes in generation and transmission projects. The Program also does not envisage large EPC contracts. However, in view of major delays in project implementation under the Bank’s investment project financing operations, the team has advised PLN to conduct independent diagnostics of PLN’s project management processes (including procurement and contract administration) to identify procurement and implementation bottlenecks and strengthen institutional capacity. Fraud & Corruption Assessment: 85. Legal Framework: Indonesia has a fairly comprehensive legal framework and institutions in place to prevent, detect, investigate and prosecute potential cases of fraud and corruption in the electricity sector. The KPK (Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi) is the Anti-corruption Agency and main national institution responsible for corruption issues (prevention, investigation and prosecution). KPK also plays a coordination and supervision role towards other institutions responsible for eradicating corruption in the electricity sector. These include: (i) internal PLN structures; (ii) Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Section Center (PPATK); (iii) Attorney General; (iv) Anticorruption Courts; (v) The Audit Board of the Republic of Indonesia (Badan Pemeriksa Keuangan, BPK); (vi) The Board of Supervisors, Finance and Development (Badan Pengawasan Keuangan Dan Pembangunan, BPKP), (vi) Central Information Commission (KIP); and (vii) Ombudsman of the Republic of Indonesia. However some of the internal regulations of individual institutions, including PLN, are new or in the process of being amended which could impair the effectiveness of some reporting, investigating, or sanctioning mechanisms. Furthermore PLN faces challenges with the actual implementation of some procedures already in place. The assessment focused on potential fraud and corruption risks for the implementation of this Program as follows: 86. Complaint Handling Mechanisms: PLN has a functioning Call Center to receive complaints from citizens regarding quality of service, misconduct and related matters; and a functional complaints handling mechanism to address the procurement related complaints as per which bidders can and are required to submit their objections within three days of announcement of award to the Procurement Implementing Officer and if unsatisfied with the decision, bidders can appeal to the User (General Manager as Wilayah or Board of Directors in Pusat). PLN has a whistle blower system that staff can use to report allegations of wrongdoing. However, this 26 whistle blower mechanism appears to be ineffective. The Bank has advised PLN to review and strengthen the whistle blower regulation including the measures available for providing protection to the whistle blowers 87. Transparency, accountability, and access to information. The Bank agreed with PLN on how to improve transparency and compliance with the national right of access to information legislation through the implementation of measures, such as the regular and systematic uploading of new procurement regulations on to its website and public disclosure of award details as per its regulations through its e-procurement system. PLN has also been implementing a new internal ethics strategy under the title PLN Birsi (PLN Clean) since 2012 that includes a new gratification control program. The Bank recommended that PLN improve its compliance with the gratification reporting requirements under the program. PLN also has its own list of blacklisted firms which is currently not publicly disclosed. PLN agreed to disclose this on its website as per PLN regulation 166/2012. 88. Applicability of Anti-Corruption Guidelines of the Bank for the Program. PLN agreed to implement the program in accordance with the Bank’s Guidelines on Preventing and Combating Fraud and Corruption in Program-for Results Financing (ACG) with PLN. The Bank informed PLN of its obligations under the ACG for the Program as per which PLN will share information with the Bank regarding all allegations of fraud and corruption in connection with the Program, investigate all credible allegations received, and report to the Bank on actions taken. The Bank and PLN have defined the reporting mechanisms to share the investigations’ findings and ensure that timely and appropriate action to address any fraud and corruption cases and prevent their recurrence. PLN also agreed to monitor and abide by the Bank’s list of debarred/suspended firms and to cooperate in any inquiry that may be conducted by the Bank into allegations or other indications of fraud and corruption in connection with the Program. PLN will report quarterly on its compliance with the ACG. 89. Based on fiduciary assessment, the following areas have been agreed for compliance/institutional strengthening of the Program: a. To post procurement regulations on PLN’s website b. To implement the upgraded e-procurement system and announce award details through the portal as per PLN’s regulations c. To follow the open book method for the procurement of MDUs only when the number of qualified manufacturers is less than three and no additional items beyond the existing 16 MDU items shall be procured using open book method under this Program. d. No Direct Procurement/Direct Appointment of SOEs or PLN’s subsidiaries, joint ventures, affiliates under this Program. e. No direct procurement or direct appointment of small or micro industries under this Program for contracts above IDR 300 million. f. Comprehensively assess the capacity of local manufacturers for MDU items g. Procurement audits conducted by SPI of 15 percent of contracts awarded by each procuring unit under the Program and sharing the findings of the procurement audits with the Bank annually 27 h. Develop a Procurement Performance Monitoring Framework and report performance as per the Framework i. Improve the accountability of SPKK reports by including verification by regional operations head. j. Strengthen SPKK and SPI’s reporting functions through capacity building activities offered by the independent verification agency. k. Expedite the release of the budget effectiveness document at Wilayah level immediately following the Shareholders’ General Meeting l. Linkage of budget application with ERP in a pilot Wilayah and expanded thereafter to remaining Wilayahs in Sumatra m. Carry out the Program in accordance with the provisions of the Anti-Corruption Guidelines n. No contracts to be awarded to firms on the Bank’s list of debarred/temporarily suspended firms –PLN’s blacklist to be uploaded on to its website and electronic portal as per PLN regulation 166/2012 o. PLN to prepare a roadmap to strengthen existing whistle blower regulations and system C. Environmental and Social 90. The Bank with support from PLN carried out an environmental and social system assessment (ESSA) to gauge the environmental and social management systems applicable to the Program which include among others, potential risks and impacts of the proposed program, compliance with environmental and social management regulations, harmonization with GOI’s environmental and social risk management systems, and capacity for effective management in light of PLN’s current performance. The Bank and PLN have conducted public consultations with stakeholders on the Draft ESSA in five Wilayahs: Lampung City in Lampung, Banda Aceh City in Aceh, in Tanjung Pandan in Bangka-Belitung, Belitung Island, Palembang City in South Sumatra, and Padang City in West Sumatra. The draft ESSA was disclosed on PLN’s website on October 16, 2015 prior to the first public consultation, and in the Infoshop. The final ESSA was disclosed on March 29, and March 30, 2016 in the Infoshop and on PLN’s website respectively. 91. PLN already has a set of procedures on environmental and social safeguards systems that are aligned with the Indonesian legal framework and with Bank policies. The Wilayahs have been carrying out similar distribution programs over the years and are experienced in and capable of managing distribution construction envisaged under the program. The environmental impact of the proposed distribution activities is small and temporary i.e. during construction. The operation of distribution activities does not trigger any requirements under GOI’s environmental regulations due to their low potential impacts. 92. From a social perspective, Program activities normally occur within the right of way of existing roads. When Program activities occur on private land, PLN’s practice is to minimize the siting of concrete poles on private lands, and to avoid disturbance of non-land assets to the maximum extent possible. Land acquisition would be needed for switching substations (around 6x8 m2) and it is paid for prior to construction under the norm of willing buyer, willing seller. However, the number of switching substations to be built under the Program are expected to be 28 limited. Since land acquisition is limited, and there is no physical or economic displacement of individuals, impacts on affected persons is expected to be minor. 93. PLN has a well-established management system for handling any grievance/complaint from the public throughout the country, namely through their Call Center 123 and through front- line customer services representatives. Through Call Center 123 which can be accessed by anyone, anywhere in Indonesia through PLN’s website, email, telephone, and social media (e.g. Facebook, Twitter); Wilayahs immediately act on community complaints including those related to construction impacts, environment, community health and safety, and social issues, by deploying PLN’s technical service responders. The role of the Wilayah is to verify the issues and resolve the grievances/complaints within 24 hours by referring to their standard operating procedures. 94. A monthly report from the Call Center 123 summarizes complaint handling performance (e.g. number of power outages, resolution of complaints, outstanding issues, etc.) that become the source data for calculating SAIDI and SAIFI of the Wilayahs. Once compiled, the information is uploaded into the management information system (SILM). One of the sections in SILM covers environmental and social management performance. 95. During Program implementation, the Bank will review environmental and social aspects as well as the grievance redress resolution record based on the SILM report, the Call Center 123 report, and land transaction documentation if any. The review will be based on random sampling and field visits to selected Wilayahs. 96. The assessments undertaken are of the view that the environment and social systems currently in place through the GOI’s environmental and land acquisition laws/regulations as well as PLN’s internal guidelines (PLN Decrees) are sufficient to comply with the Bank’s Operational Policy (OP) 9.00. 97. The Bank will coordinate with the ADB on environmental and social requirements under the Program. The Bank and ADB have shared our respective environmental and social assessments. Both institutions’ programs have similar environmental and social safeguards filters and actions, e.g. the ADB’s requirements for screening out high-risk projects are similar to those of the Bank’s as are its recommendations for building capacity in the Program Wilayahs on environmental health and safety. The Bank and the ADB have also agreed to jointly coordinate with PLN during Program implementation in order to avoid duplication of effort, and promote efficient utilization of Program resources. D. Integrated Risk Assessment Summary Risk  Rating  Technical  Moderate  Fiduciary Substantial  Environmental and Social Moderate 29 Disbursement Linked Indicator Moderate Overall Risk Substantial Risk Rating Explanation 98. The key identified risks and related management measures are detailed in Annex 7. Based on this risk analysis the overall risk rating is assessed to be substantial. This is because of fiduciary risks which are rated substantial. The Program risks are described below. A number of key management measures are proposed. a. Timely availability of adequate generation and transmission capacity: Delays in completion of upstream generation and transmission line investments could lead to the under-utilization of the distribution infrastructure created by the Program and to the delayed realization of its expected benefits. The Bank and PLN teams’ extensive reviews of the planned generation, transmission and distribution investments showed that the risk of inadequate generation and transmission capacity is moderate because: (a) about 9 GW is planned to come on stream during the period to 2016-2019; (b) out of this total planned generation 3.5 GW comprising 2.1 GW under construction and 1.4 GW gas fired generation under procurement will be commissioned by 2017; (c) even without additional generation capacity the current reserve margins of about 40% would provide sufficient generation capacity to sustain the distribution expansion program; and (d) a 275kV transmission line under construction to connect the power surplus South Sumatra to the power deficit North Sumatra will be commissioned in 2017. During implementation the Bank will review annual work and expenditure plans for generation, transmission, and distribution investments for the region to identify any risks and management measures. b. Construction delays for distribution program investments could arise for several reasons such as the institutional capacity for program management at the Wilayah levels, including capacity for processing procurement, for contract management and for program monitoring. Constraints could also arise from the capacity of the contracting industry to supply required goods, services and works. An analysis of the Wilayahs’ program implementation capacity has been carried out under the assessments. As a result staff training will be undertaken in distribution planning and procurement. Other risk management measures will include annual work plans and budgets to be prepared by PLN for each Wilayah and reviewed by the Bank on an annual basis and close monitoring of the progress of works will be undertaken during implementation by Bank supervision missions. Bank implementation support will need to be strategically designed to be effective given the scattered nature of the program works across the whole of Sumatra. c. Sustainability of Program Investments. Shortfalls in the operation and maintenance of program investments could arise from financial and/or technical constraints, including organizational deficiencies in PLN. However, a review of the historical allocations for O&M shows that PLN expenditures are in line with best industry practices at 3- 30 5% of capital expenditures. Further the Bank’s technical assessment confirmed that the distribution assets are well maintained and in good condition. Future allocations will be assured through the recently introduced Performance-based Regulation which allows for adequate maintenance in tariff setting thus assuring PLN of adequate revenues to cover O&M costs. d. Fiduciary risks: Procurement and contract management. First, there is the risk that the capacity of local manufacturers may not be adequate to meet the needs of the PDDP for the five “Main Distribution Items”. During the initial stages of program implementation PLN will assess the capacity of the local manufacturers. Risk management measures may involve inclusion of more manufacturers in the bidding process. Second there is a risk of low transparency due to procurement through manual reverse auctions instead of through the e-procurement system, and due to non-disclosure of award details. To mitigate this risk, PLN has agreed to implement an upgraded e-procurement system by June 2016 and to announce award details through their portal as per PLN’s regulations. PLN has also agreed to post PLN’s Procurement Regulation on its website. Third, inadequate monitoring of contracts and absence of data on contract management for performance measurement may also contribute to implementation difficulties and delays. To mitigate this risk, PLN has agreed to develop a procurement performance monitoring framework and to provide a quarterly report on key procurement performance indicators throughout the duration of the Program. Fourth there is a risk of including items (other than the sixteen MDU items) in the open book method and of PLN’s continuing with the open book method for MDUs even if the number of qualified manufacturers exceeds two. In this regard, PLN has agreed that no additional items beyond the existing sixteen MDU items will be procured using the open book method under this Program and that PLN will follow the open book method for MDU items only when number of qualified suppliers in the DPT is less than three. Fifth, there is the risk related to the perception of fairness, transparency, and economy in the procurement process related to the Direct Appointment/Direct Procurement of SOEs, PLN’s/SOEs’ Subsidiaries or PLN’s/SOEs’ Affiliated Companies. In this regard, PLN has agreed that there will be no Direct Appointment/Direct Procurement of any SOEs/PLN’s subsidiaries under the Program. Sixth, there is the risk related to a lack of oversight due to inadequate samples of contracts chosen for SPI’s procurement audit. To this effect, PLN has agreed that its SPI will carry out a procurement audit of fifteen percent of contracts awarded by each procuring unit and share the findings of the audit with the Bank annually under the Program. e. Fiduciary risks – Financial Management FM risks include delays resulting from cumbersome internal procedures, reviews and approvals, absence of clear delegations of authority for contracts and variations signing; delays in budget effectiveness; and semi-manual preparation of financial records and report consolidation. 31 E. Program Action Plan 99. Program assessments have identified a number of potential improvements that could be carried out to improve the development effectiveness of PLN’s distribution expenditure program. These relate primarily to the technical, procurement and financial management areas. The environmental and social assessments have revealed relatively minor issues. The Bank and PLN have agreed on measures to be taken to improve program management with regard to the identified weaknesses and these are summarized below. Detailed presentation of the actions to be taken by PLN are available in the Program Action Plan in Annex 8. 100. Technical Aspects: The assessments have recommended: (a) strengthening the capabilities of the distribution system planning units at Wilayah and Area levels by enhancing technical planning tools and providing adequate training to staff; (b) improving the use of GIS data, not only for planning, but also for managing customer outages, transformer loading and asset management; (c) reviewing distribution planning concepts to promote greater use of more efficient concepts such as increasing the MV/LV ratio of the system; (d) reviewing loss evaluation techniques that are currently in use by PLN to better estimating technical losses and implementing more targeted loss reduction programs; and (e) undertaking an assessment of the need for SCADA facilities and implementing adequate facilities in all Wilayahs to facilitate monitoring of feeders and restoration of customer services when failures occur. Annex 8 details the specific actions to be undertaken under the program Action Plan including the time frames. 101. Procurement and contract management: The assessments have identified a number risks related to: (a) perceptions of lack of transparency due to non-disclosure of procurement regulations and of details of contract awards; (b) direct appointment of SOEs, PLN’s/SOE subsidiaries or PLN’s/SOE’s Affiliated Companies; (c) potential inadequacy of the local manufacturing capacity to meet PLN’s requirements for main distribution materials procured through Limited Bidding as the distribution program expands; and (d) risk of delays and cost overruns due to lack of systemic collection of procurement and contract implementation data and reporting and performance monitoring. Proposed measures to address these risks are detailed in the Program Action Plan presented in Annex 8. 102. Financial Management: With regard to financial management the fiduciary assessment has identified weaknesses related to: (a) budget monitoring and control; (b) risks of inaccuracy in the preparation and consolidation of semi-annual financial reports; and (c) the inadequacy of the current reporting done by the SPKK to serve as the basis for verification of DLIs. Under the Program Action Plan (Annex 8), PLN will start integrating the budget application with ERP and tailoring ERP to support generation of financial reports. The risk related to the verification of DLIs will be addressed through the use of an external party (IVA) to conduct an independent verification of the DLIs and to support SPKK and SPI in establishing an approach and verification methodology and in building required capacity within PLN. 103. Fraud and Corruption: The F/C assessment identified a series of potential fraud and corruption risks for the implementation of this Program as follows: (a) an ineffective whistle blower mechanism to file and handle complaints in PLN; (b) limited knowledge on the gratification control program leading to low gratification reporting rates; and (c) evolving 32 institutional capacity in PLN to guarantee the right of access to information for citizens e.g. pending disclosure of PLN’s blacklist of individuals and companies on its website, pending disclosure of PLN’s procurement regulations on its website and others. The Bank suggested specific measures that PLN can take to address and mitigate these potential risks, which are detailed in Annex 8 104. Environmental and Social: PLN’s Wilayahs have been carrying out similar distribution activities over the years and are therefore experienced and capable of managing environmental and social issues for the Program. Nevertheless, the Wilayahs’ capacity to manage environmental and social issues will need to be maintained through regular monitoring and training by PLN headquarters. The Bank will annually review the environmental and social monitoring conducted by PLN Headquarters and Wilayahs. The review will also support PLN with remedial action to improve PLN’s environmental and social systems as described in Annex 6. F. Grievance Redress Program Action Plan 105. Communities and individuals who believe that they are adversely affected as a result of a Bank supported PforR operation, as defined by the applicable policy and procedures, may submit complaints to the existing program grievance redress mechanism or the WB’s Grievance Redress Service (GRS). The GRS ensures that complaints received are promptly reviewed in order to address pertinent concerns. Affected communities and individuals may submit their complaint to the WB’s independent Inspection Panel which determines whether harm occurred, or could occur, as a result of WB non-compliance with its policies and procedures. Complaints may be submitted at any time after concerns have been brought directly to the World Bank's attention, and Bank Management has been given an opportunity to respond. For information on how to submit complaints to the World Bank’s corporate Grievance Redress Service (GRS), please visit http://www.worldbank.org/GRS. For information on how to submit complaints to the World Bank Inspection Panel, please visit www.inspectionpanel.org. 33 Annex 1: Detailed Program Description Program development objective 1. The program’s development objective is to increase access to electricity supply and to improve the efficiency and reliability of its delivery in selected areas of Indonesia. The Government’s Program 2. PLN’s current power expansion plan comprising generation, transmission and distribution investment requirements (the “Rencana Usaha Penyediaan Tenaga Listrik” or RUPTL) covers the period 2015-2024. The broader context for the RUPTL is the Rencana Umum Ketenagalistrikan Nasional (RUKN) which is a 20-year national policy document approved by Parliament. The RUKN provides the GoI’s policy guidance for preparation of the RUPTL. This guidance is related primarily to the projected energy demand and desired targets for electrification and the energy mix of production. The current RUKN was approved by Parliament in 2008 and covers the period up to 2027. 3. To close the power infrastructure gap which is constraining economic growth the current administration is focusing on implementation of the 5-year time slice of the RUPTL covering the period 2015-2019. Consistent with both the RUKN and the RUPTL the key objectives of the 5- year time slice are to increase access to electricity for household consumers and to meet the economy’s power needs while improving efficiency and reliability of supply. Its specific key targets are to increase generation capacity by 35 MW and increase access to electricity from 85%, to 97% by 2019. Further, PLN’s detailed implementation plan envisages improvements in efficiency (system losses) and reliability indicators (SAIDI and SAIFI) as detailed in Annex 4. The estimated total costs of the RUPTL for 2015-2019 are US$83.4 billion of which US$58.9 billion is for generation, US$17.1 billion for transmission and US$7.4 billion for distribution. The Government’s program on which the proposed PforR is based is the distribution component of the 2015-2019 time slice of the RUPTL which entails activities to improve distribution system planning capabilities, connect new customers, improve existing distribution networks, and increase the quality of services. Bank Financed Program-for-Results 4. The PforR Program to be supported by the Bank is a geographic slice of the distribution component of the RUPTL covering Indonesia’s Sumatra region for the period 2015-2019. The estimated cost of the Sumatra distribution program is US$1.45 billion or about 20% of the total national distribution program over the first five years of the 2015-2024 RUPTL. PLN has selected the Sumatra region for coverage under the proposed program based on several specific criteria. First, Sumatra has the largest population center outside Java Bali with about 54 million people, of which 9 million have no access to electricity and is an important economic growth center for Indonesia. Second, there are substantial existing and planned generation and transmission investments in Sumatra that require complementary investment in distribution in order to enable the power produced when these investments are commissioned to be delivered to 34 the regional economy. Third, a focus on Sumatra offers the best prospect for fast progress towards achieving the RUPTL’s national ER target of 99.4 percent by 2024. Up to about 3.32 million customers could be added to the grid in the 5 year period to 2019 resulting in an increase in the regional electrification ratio from 85 percent to about 90 percent. Fourth, the region offers the best opportunity for “piloting” the use of the IFI’s performance-based lending instruments, learning lessons, and improving effectiveness of its program expenditure management before attempting to use them in the more difficult terrain of Eastern Indonesia. Thus, PLN’s strategy is to mobilize multilateral funding to complement its own and fill the financing gap for the Sumatra distribution program. 5. Overall, Sumatra has a total of 11,504,195 consumers (as of end 2014) and has a maximum demand of 5,791 MW. Wilayah North Sumatra and Wilayah S2JB (South Sumatra-Jambi- Bengkulu) constitute the largest units with around 27% and 22% respectively of the consumers. Wilayah West Sumatra (10%), Riau & Riau Archipelago (12%) and Distribution unit Lampung (15%) are of medium size. Wilayah Aceh (11%) and Bangka/Belitung islands (3%) are substantially smaller than the rest. 6. There are 29,721 villages in Sumatra of which 29,658 already have access to electricity either from PLN (78%) or local utilities (21%). There are only 63 villages that currently have no supply at all. Some of these can be at very long distances (even up to 200 km) from the grid and also have a very low population thus making grid extension economically unviable. Off-grid solutions (both local generation and standalone systems such as Solar Home Systems) need to be pursued for these areas. Other unsupplied areas (say within 50 km or so), could be supplied with grid extensions. Overall, the prospects of achieving the planned targets by the year 2019 are fairly good. Program governance structure 7. The development program is well structured and built up in a number of stages with the participation of PLN’s various units at headquarters and regional levels. First, the development of the power distribution sector is established in the RUPTL (10 Year Planning of Power System Development) which provides an identification of stakeholder expectations and PLN’s own mission and goals. The RUPTL is developed by PLN Pusat (Headquarters) and approved by MEMR. The next stage deals with the formulation of a strategy by analyzing the village electrification road map which is carried out at the level of PLN’s decentralized regional offices (Wilayahs). PLN’s short and long term goals, operational issues, key performance indicators and strategic initiatives and leads to the preparation of a five year investment plan which is called the Rencana Jangka Panjang (RJP). The Corporate RJP is prepared by PLN Pusat, and each Wilayah develops their RJP in conformity with the Corporate RJP. The RJP includes a detailed review of performance over the past 5 years (Kriteria Penilaian Kinerja Unggul or KPKU assessment) and a SWOT analysis to assist in developing a more focused approach for meeting the goals set for the next five years. The proposals in the RJP are next translated into an annual implementation plan and budget which is called the Rencana Kerja Anggaran Perusahaan (RKAP). The RKAP spells out the details of network expansion and improvements to be carried out in each year along with the related budgetary costs. 35 8. For operation, the Sumatra power distribution system is managed by 6 Wilayahs and 1 distribution unit of PLN. Each Wilayah is responsible for both the power distribution network and the generation plant feeding into the 20 kV distribution system while the distribution unit is responsible only for the distribution system. Each Wilayah/distribution unit manages one or more provinces in Sumatra. 9. Since September 1, 2015, PLN has restructured its organizational structure according to which the Sumatra power system is overseen by the Directorate of Sumatra Region for Wilayahs Aceh – Sumut – Sumbar – RKR – S2JB - Babel, while the Directorate of Western Jawa Region is responsible for the Distribution Unit in Lampung. Within the Directorates there are 3 (three) divisions i.e. for Development, Construction, and Operation. These divisions will assist the Director to supervise the Wilayahs and the distribution unit with respect to operation & maintenance and construction activities as well as for overseeing KPI targets, development planning, and budgeting. 10. For program monitoring purposes a specialized performance monitoring unit (Satuan Pemantau Kinerja Korporat - SPKK) collects and consolidates data from the Wilayahs and prepares a performance monitoring report every six months. SPKK reports to PLN’s President Director on corporate performance against the agreed key performance indicators. Program Activities, Costs and Financing Plan 11. To achieve its objectives over the 5-year period to 2019 the Program consists of three types of activities and targets that are listed below and summarized in Table A1. 12. The Program goals consistent with RUPTL targets and supported by these activities can be broken down into 5 components parts as follows: a. Construction/rehabilitation/upgrading of 19,487 circuit-km of MV distribution lines; b. Construction/rehabilitation/upgrading of 23,594 circuit-km of LV distribution lines; and c. Installation of 28,327 transformer units with a total MVA capacity of 2,895.

At a total cost of around US$1.45 billion, financing of the Program is expected to be provided by IBRD and ADB loans of US$500 million and US$420 million respectively and PLN’s internal financing (including GoI equity) of US$530 million. 14. An analysis of historical budget allocations and execution performance is shown in Table A2. This shows that disbursements of under the Program are carried out effectively and exceed 80% each year. Undisbursed amounts are carried over to next year’s budget. Over the Program period budget allocations will be higher than for the last 4 years by about 20% annually on an average basis. However, the Wilayahs have the capacity to implement the higher volume of work satisfactorily. Allocations of funding for operation and maintenance are covered from PLN’s internal resources. The technical assessments confirmed that Sumatra’s distribution assets are adequately maintained and satisfactorily operated.

The Program will be administered by a central Project Management Unit (PMU) located at PLN’s headquarters, but the physical implementation activities will be carried out by PLN’s Wilayahs. The Wilayahs have been carrying out similar programs over the years and are 37 experienced and capable of managing the distribution construction work envisaged under the Program. Most material requirements will be requisitioned from approved suppliers under PLN’s Supply Chain Management (SCM) system and the balance of items will be procured locally by the Wilayahs. The construction works contracts will be procured by the Wilayahs. All implementation activities will be carried out by the respective contracts divisions within each Wilayah and overseen by the distribution systems manager under the Wilayah General Manager. The PMU supported by the Wilayahs will bear overall responsibility for the work program, quality and timeliness of the program works, and its satisfactory completion. 16. The Wilayahs are responsible for environmental and social management of the activities which they implement with guidance and support from PLN Headquarters. They have been carrying out similar distribution programs over the years and are experienced in and capable of managing distribution construction envisaged under the project. 38   Annex 2: Results Framework and Monitoring   Program Development Objective: The program’s development objective is to increase access to electricity services and to improve the efficiency and reliability of its delivery in selected areas of Indonesia.

Project year for measuring DLRs will be on a calendar year basis, i.e. from January through December, except for a) Prior Results: The period for measuring prior results will be from September 2015 through expected signing date (about April 2016); b) First project year: Will begin from the project signing date (about May 2016) through December 2016. 2. Bank disbursements will be made to a bank account designated by PLN and acceptable to the Bank. No advance will be made and Bank disbursements will be on a reimbursement basis, contingent upon achievement of DLRs. 3. DLIs and associated annual indicative targets and amounts of financing are described in the Disbursement Linked Indicator Matrix. The Program has ten (10) DLIs, and all are measured through the achievement of the Program results. The Matrix shows indicative annual results for each DLI and all DLIs are scalable, except for DLIs 6, 7, 8 and 9. Disbursement for each DLI is not linked and disbursed amount in any given project year will depend on the extent of achievement made in that given year. This means that disbursements for any of the DLIs (except for DLIs 6, 7,8 and 9) in a given year will be equal to the product of ‘unit price’ (calculated as total allocation for the DLI divided by the maximum target set for the same DLI, with proper rounding) and target achieved in that given year. 4. DLIs 6, 7, 8 and 9 are not scalable. If DLR for a given project year is not achieved, allocation for that year will be held until the year in which such DLR is achieved. 5. During implementation, if certain DLI (or DLIs) is determined to be un-achievable, the associated allocation may be reallocated to i) other DLI or replacement DLI; ii) or cancelled. 6. DLIs 6 and 7 are for prior results and there are also imbedded prior results in DLIs 1 through 5. Allocated amounts for prior results will be disbursed upon project effectiveness, subject to successful verification of related DLRs. 48   Annex 4: Summary Technical Assessment Program Description 1. The Government has developed an overall program to address the goal of increasing economic growth to 7% or above in the medium term in order to reduce inequality and poverty in the country. A crucial component of this program is the role of infrastructure development, in particular electrical energy. Overall, the Government’s target is to achieve near complete electrification of the country by 2024 and improve performance of the sector’s operations. 2. The objective of the Power Distribution Development Program is to increase access to electricity services and to improve the efficiency and reliability of their delivery in Sumatra Island, the second biggest and populated area in Indonesia. Increasing access to the un-electrified areas will address the infrastructure shortcomings that hamper growth and development. Improving the efficiency of supply and enhanced reliability will support growth and prosperity by improving the conditions under which industrial and commercial establishments operate resulting in lower costs, increased competitiveness in the international exports and related businesses and better services performed. Retail consumers will also benefit from the better quality of service and reduced outages resulting in better quality of life. Benefits of the program will also include reduce migration away from undeveloped areas, thus reducing urbanization pressures. 3. The Sumatra Island selected for the Program is also of particular relevance due to a number of factors. It is the second biggest island in Indonesia representing 25% of the country’s total area. Around 20% of the country’s population is on this island. It has 10 of Indonesia’s 34 provinces and is one of the fastest developing areas second only to Java-Bali in terms of economic significance. Due to the highly saturated conditions prevailing in the Java-Bali Island there is a growing demand for better conditions in adjacent areas and Sumatra is the logical extension of the development of the Java region. The Government has instituted various programs to assist this development. In addition, a large scale generation and transmission investment program that is underway in Sumatra will require, for its effective utilization, se facilities an upgraded distribution network. 4. According to the RUPTL (2015 – 2024), an estimated US$1.45 billion is needed to develop the distribution network in Sumatra to meet PLN’s medium-term objectives of increasing access, efficiency and reliability. The proposed Program will contribute US$500 Million to the total financing plan and the balance will be provided by ADB: US$420 Million, and PLN: US$530 Million. Overall characteristics and Organizational Structure 5. The overall access rate for Sumatra is estimated at 85%. As the population of Sumatra is around 55 million, it is estimated that 8 million people do not have access to electricity. Of the 29,721 villages in Sumatra 29,658 already have access to electricity either from PLN (78%) or from local utilities (21%). Of the 63 villages that are currently not connected to power supply 49 some are located at very long distances (even up to 200 km) from the grid and have very low populations, thus making their connection by grid extension economically unviable. Off-grid solutions (both local generation and standalone systems such as Solar Home Systems) need to be pursued for these areas. Other unconnected villages that are nearer to the grid (say within 50 km or so), could be supplied with grid extensions. Overall, the prospects of achieving the planned electricity access target rate of 90 percent by the year 2019 are fairly good. 6. The Sumatra power distribution system is managed by PLN’s 6 Wilayahs and 1 Distribution Unit. Each Wilayah is responsible for both the power distribution network and the generation plant feeding into the 20 kV distribution system while the Distribution Unit is responsible only the distribution system. Each Wilayah/Distribution Unit manages one or more provinces in Sumatra. 7. The Wilayah/Distribution Unit is the central point of control that manages all budgetary allocations in consultation with the Distribution Division at PLN HQ (PLN Pusat) and supervises the activities of the Areas and Rayons (geographically-based sub units of the Wilayahs). The Area units manage construction activities and also handle the operation and maintenance work, where necessary through the Rayon units. The Rayons basically function as sub units of the Areas. 8. Since September 1, 2015, PLN has restructured its organization so that the Sumatra power system is overseen by the Directorate of Sumatra Region for all the 6 Wilayahs (Aceh, Sumut, Sumbar, RKR, S2JB, and Babel) and by the Directorate of Western Java Region for the Distribution Unit, Lampung. Within the Directorate of Sumatra Region there are three divisions for Development, Construction and Operation. These divisions will assist the Director to supervise the Wilayahs and the distribution unit with respect to operation & maintenance and construction activities as well as overseeing KPI targets, development planning and budgeting. 9. Overall, Sumatra has a total of 11,504,195 consumers (as of end 2014) and has a maximum demand of 5,791 MW. Wilayah North Sumatra and Wilayah S2JB (South Sumatra-Jambi- Bengkulu) constitutes the largest units with around 27% and 22% respectively of the consumers. Wilayah West Sumatra (10%), Riau & Riau Archipelago (12%) and Distribution unit Lampung (15%) are medium-sized. The Wilayah Aceh (11%) and Bangka/Belitung islands (3%) are substantially smaller than the rest. Technical Soundness 10. Distribution operations in Sumatra are carried out to appropriate standards and adequate facilities exists for carrying out the intended development Program. There are also numerous levels of oversight as well as a regular review of the performance of each unit against pre- determined KPIs to ensure that performance levels are maintained and improved. The current practice of outsourcing some activities (e.g. breakdown service restoration, wayleave clearance, meter reading and construction activities) to private contractors will be continued and thus, will help to keep PLNs staff at optimum levels. 50 11. Sales Growth Rate: Over the past 5 years, there has been substantial load growth at an average annual rate of about 8.8%. In recent years the load growth rate has been substantially suppressed in in a number of areas due to supply constraints. Thus, when supply constraints are removed load growth may reach double digits. Table A3.

System Losses: A Distribution system loss is a key barometer of the performance of a power utility. Until 2012 distribution losses remained at single digits in three of the Wilayahs, North Sumatra, West Sumatra and Bangka & Belitung. In West Sumatra and Bangka & Belitung the reasonable level of losses also continued in 2013 and 2014. However, system losses increased considerably in 2013 in all Wilayahs with the average losses increasing by as much as 2 percentage points. In 2014 there was a marginal improvement in losses in almost all Wilayahs but the levels still remained above the pre-2013 figures. Further the first half of 2015 saw increased losses in all the Wilayahs except in S2JB which recorded a slight reduction. The overall deterioration of the loss performance is a matter of concern and it is recommended that PLN carries out a detailed evaluation of the causes of the increases in losses. Table A4: Sumatra Distribution Losses 2010 – 2015 (Mid) Losses 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 Mid 2015 Aceh 9.3% 9.7% 11.2% 14.7% 13.4% 14.4% Sumut 9.2% 8.9% 9.4% 12.5% 12.1% 12.9% Sumbar 6.0% 6.4% 6.0% 7.4% 7.5% 8.3% RKR 9.9% 10.5% 11.8% 13.1% 11.6% 11.9% S2JB 9.3% 13.4% 11.6% 12.6% 12.9% 12.5% Babel 9.5% 8.0% 6.7% 8.3% 8.9% 9.8% Lampung 11.0% 13.1% 11.1% 12.9% 13.6% 12.9% Sumatra 9.2% 10.3% 10.1% 12.2% 11.9% 12.8% 13. Some of the increases in system losses are probably attributable to the lack of commissioning of new grid substations in the recent past. The lack of such supply injections to the distribution network results in (a) increased loadings on existing lines (with technical losses increasing by a square of the growth rate) and (b) extension of the medium voltage lines over long distances to feed new supply areas. Both factors lead to increases in technical losses. In many Wilayahs the feeder lengths of the 20 kV medium voltage lines have exceeded 100 km and instances of lines exceeding 300 km have occurred. The planned addition of about 80 grid 51 substations to the system by 2017 alongside the complementary 20 kV medium voltage development will reduce the current level of technical losses in the MV network. 14. The ratio of LV to MV investments also indicates that substantial losses may come from poorly planned LV networks. Accordingly, the Technical Assessment report recommended that PLN should carry out a detailed loss analysis in each Wilayah that has above single digits. When expanding networks the most appropriate and efficient technique is to transmit the power as much as possible on the MV network and limit the LV line lengths. This requires a greater use of step down transformers of smaller capacity as opposed to large capacity transformer stations and long LV lines. 15. SAIDI & SAIFI: Reliability of Distribution services are measured by SAIDI (System Average Interruption Duration Index) and SAIFI (System Average Interruption Frequency Index). In 2014 SAIDI and SAIFI were 8.21 hours/customer-year and 8.36 incident/customer- year respectively. PLN’s procedures for measuring network reliability by SAIFI and SAIDI standards have improved considerably since 2013 with the development of special application program (APKT) for their computation. The accuracy of the system will be further improved when (a) all the Distribution Control Center are uprated to Supervisory and Control Data Acquisition (SCADA) functionality, and (b) when the GIS data base used to compute SAIDI/SAIFI is completed in each Wilayah. At present the system should be treated as ‘under development’ (though a substantial improvement to the earlier practice) and will be capable of producing accurate data in a couple of years.

The organizational arrangements and methodology for PLN’s network development program is well structured and built up in a number of stages. The overall framework for the development of the power distribution sector is established in the RUPTL (10 Years Planning of Power System Development) which provides an identification of stakeholder expectations and PLN’s own mission and goals. RUPTL is developed by PLN Pusat (Head Quarter) and approved by MEMR. This program lays out the broad framework indicating developmental goals and objectives to be achieved. The next stage deals with the formulation of a strategy by analyzing the village electrification road map, PLN’s short and long term goals, operational issues, key performance indicators and strategic initiatives and leads to the preparation of a five year investment plan which is called the Rencana Jangka Panjang (RJP). Corporate RJP is prepared by PLN Pusat, and each Wilayah will develop their RJP, based on the corporate RJP. RJP will include a detailed review of the performance over the past 5 years (Kriteria Penilaian Kinerja Unggul (KPKU) assessment) and a SWOT analysis to assist in developing a more focused approach to meeting the goals set for the next five years. The proposals in the RJP are next translated into an annual implementation plan and budget which is called the Rencana Kerja Anggaran Perusahaan (RKAP). The RKAP spells out the details of network expansion and improvements to be carried out in each year. The annual budgets are prepared on the basis of the RKAPs for each Wilayah. 17. At each of the stages above there is consultation between the Pusat and the peripheral operating units. The directorate of Corporate Planning and the Distribution Directorate (responsible for a defined geographic area) are the principle units in Pusat. In addition the System Planning Directorate (which is more focused on transmission development) is also involved in the development of the multi-year and annual plans. The distribution directorate is also supported by the distribution division at Pusat. This division is responsible for more ‘hands- on’ support and review of the Wilayah activities. At the operational level the Wilayahs are the principle organizational and control unit. They are supported by Area units which are sub units of the Wilayahs. While the overall strategy, framework and budget levels are determined more at the Pusat level the individual plans for network development originate at the Area units and are reviewed and processed by the Wilayahs before transmission to the Pusat. A number of discussions and consultations between the parties are carried out before a particular plan or budget is approved. Feeder load flows needed to support specific network developments are carried out by the Area units under the direction and guidance of the Wilayahs. 18. The key program objectives may be broken down to its key components (identified as ‘baskets’) as follows: a. Improve access to electricity. b. Improve quality of service. c. Improve distribution efficiency. d. Increase supply of electricity for local development. e. Institutional development. 19. Each of the proposals submitted for the Annual Budget (RAPK) has to be supported by a description and a quantitative analysis (where relevant) under each of the above baskets. As 53 examples, the proposals for improved access will identify the prospective consumers that can be connected, the proposals for improved reliability will indicate its impact on SAIDI/SAIFI and the proposals improved efficiency will provide the expected loss reduction benefits. In view of the structuring and evaluation of the existing program items in line with the development goals it is very convenient to keep track of the achievement of the selected DLIs in each yearly development program. 20. System Planning: As discussed above the detailed planning of network development for the Annual Budget (RAPK) is essentially carried out by the planning engineers in the Area units under the supervision of the Wilayah and subsequent review by the Pusat Distribution unit. Usually the developments are planned using a software program to compute the load flows in the system. However, the program is not linked to the GIS system which has now been developed to cover most of the networks in Sumatra. Another disadvantage is the limitations on the number of users possible at each location and the lack of and high turnover of trained staff. To overcome these limitations the Project has developed a number of improvements to the planning procedures as described in the ‘Program Action Plan’ below. Program’s Expenditure Framework 21. Distribution development in Indonesia is usually funded through state budget (APBN) and PLN budget (APLN). APBN will finance rural electrification, and PLN will finance Distribution expansion. Both are coordinated by each Wilayah. Starting from 2016 Annual Budget, the funding of rural electrification will be determined by PLN with a corresponding equity provision by government. The annual disbursements of Distribution development are carried out effectively and more than 80% of the budget is disbursed. Undisbursed amounts are carried over to next year’s budget.

It is observed that in respect of PLN’s budgeted work program over 83% of the approved works are completed each year. Overall the progress on planned distribution works is considered to be satisfactory. 23. According to RUPTL 2015 – 2024, Sumatra Distribution need additional network facilities around 20 thousand circuit km of MV Network, 23 thousand circuit km of LV Network and 2895 MVA or 28 thousand unit of distribution transformer. Table A8 shows detail of additional distribution asset needed during 2015 – 2019. With the proposed new planning guidelines to be introduced it is anticipated that the ratio of MV to LV line additions will be improved with more MV investments and less on the LV.

The objective of the program is to increase access to electricity supply and to improve the efficiency and reliability of its delivery in Sumatra Island. The key components to meet these objectives have already formulated by PLN in structuring its investment program to the five point ‘baskets’ described in para 18 above. While there are multiple benefits in relation to the five point baskets the principle outcome related to each of the five baskets are as follows: a. Improved access to electricity to result in the addition of new consumers; b. Improve quality of service to result in reduced interruptions; c. Improve distribution efficiency result in reduced losses; d. Increase supply of electricity for local development to result in added sales; and e. Institutional development to result in the improved use of modern technology and trained and competent personnel. 26. The proposed Disbursement Linked Indicators (DLIs) will be related to these principle outcomes of the 5 key program objectives and have been selected in consultation with PLN as shown in the table below. The table also provides the base value for 2014 and the target values to be achieved each year.

PLN Headquarters monitors Wilayah performance against the achievement of a number of key performance indicators (KPIs). These indicators cover a wider range of results than the DLIs selected for the Program. Monitoring of KPIs is undertaken through a review and oversight by the internal audit (SPI), and corporate performance monitoring (SPKK) divisions of PLN. The SPI staff monitoring the results are based both at headquarters and at the Wilayahs and operate on an independent basis. SPKK’s monitoring is mostly done by computerized program which has a data entry system to capture various operations at the time of occurrence. As an example each tripping of a feeder is logged on to the system as it happens and the consumers affected computed based on a GIS data base16 which has a record of each consumer related to the network. When the feeder is restored a similar entry is made at the time of the operation. The program collects all such entries and computes values for SAIDI and SAIFI. Similarly for a service connection application an entry is made to the system at time of application and time of completion thus providing the response time for the request. Thus many of the KPI indices are computed by the program without manual interface except for the initial operational entry. In view of the very limited manual interface the monitoring carried out by SKPP is of a higher reliability than systems practiced in many utilities. SKPP also carries out video conferences on a quarterly and monthly basis to appraise the Wilayahs of their performance. This arrangement provides a good methodology for managers to establish controls and corrective measures on an ongoing basis rather than wait for the annual results. The DLIs selected for the project is part of the KPIs that are being monitored by SKPP. It may be noted that PLN has an established procedure for performance bonuses and penalties for a selected number of KPIs. 28. An example of the application of the KPIs for a particular Wilayah is presented below:                                                              16 This data base is completed to over 80% of consumers in each Wilayah and work is ongoing to complete the data base. 57 Table A11: KPI performance and targets for Wilayah S2JB 29. The monitoring and verification on DLIs needed for disbursements will utilize the SKPP system due to its versatility and limited opportunities for tampering with the results. However, an external verification agent will be retained by PLN to monitor and report on the achievement of the DLIs. The agent will provide support to SPKK for further enhancement of its approaches and methodologies for monitoring evaluation and reporting on results. Technical Risks 30. Implementation of the Program shall be done in a timely and cost effective manner. Some uncertainties may arise from Program preparation up to implementation. The identified risks that may arise need to be anticipated and mitigated. Risk that have been identified are described below. 31. Delays in the completion of upstream generation and transmission: Generation and transmission capacity required to meet the demand in the distribution system at the required locations may not be available due to implementation delays. Such delays would lead to under- utilization of investment and delayed benefits of additions to the distribution system. 32. During Program preparation the Bank team conducted a detailed assessment of the status of generation and transmission investments and their linkage to the distribution program. The 58 conclusion of the analysis was that the combination of existing generation reserves and planned generation and transmission additions to the system during the Program period are adequate to match planned distribution system development. Therefore the risk of inadequate generation and transmission capacity is moderate. Nevertheless, during implementation the Bank team will closely monitor progress of the associated upstream developments through the mechanism of annual work and budget plans to be prepared by PLN. 33. Construction delays may be encountered in the implementation of the distribution program: Past implementation of the program, unlike those of the generation and transmission programs has been generally good using PLN’s budget (> 80% budget execution) and less so for the Government budget funded activities. Commencing from 2016 PLN has arranged to eliminate the use of the Government’s budget given the complex procedures involved that lead to implementation delays and hence this deficiency is not expected to be encountered. 34. Implementation of identified improvement measures will be supported under the program including the strengthening monitoring systems. Annual work plans will be prepared by PLN and reviewed by the Bank on an annual basis. Close monitoring of the progress of works during implementation will be carried out. Bank supervision support will be strategically designed to effectively monitor the implementation of the program of works scattered across the whole of Sumatra. In addition the use of advanced program monitoring techniques will be explored. 35. Staff at some Wilayahs are not sufficiently trained in network analysis and planning: An action plan program for technical training has already been commenced for PLN staff. This program shall be enhanced to provide a better technical knowledge for the relevant staff. 36. Delays in procurement of planning software and development of new planning guidelines: There can be delays and setbacks in securing the proposed new planning software as well as establishing the new planning guidelines for investment decisions. These will be redressed by regular supervision and technical support provided to PLN. Program Action Plan 37. Based on the findings during Appraisal, the following action plan shall be carried out to address current shortcomings and improve the realization of the program objectives. Each of the activities described below will be accompanied with a corresponding capacity building program involving both theoretical class room training as well as practical training. 38. Improvements to the distribution planning process: It is very important to strengthen the capabilities of the distribution system planning units at Wilayahs and Area units by (a) enhancing the technical tools required to carry out the work and (b) provide the necessary training to staff engaged in the planning function. In respect to (a) the current software used, ETAP, is by individual single user licenses to the different Wilayahs, often with outdated versions. They have no capability of linking with the GIS data base that is established for most of the distribution network. The network data input is therefore done manually and geographic presentation is not possible to efficiently develop new proposals. Multiple use at the planning units of the Areas and the Wilayahs is not possible limiting the discussions needed to fine tune proposals and consider 59 alternatives. The distribution units have also been developing a good GIS data base on its assets, medium voltage lines, distribution transformers and connected consumers. This data base is used for limited purposes including the APKT program which computes SAIDI and SAIFI but is not effectively used in the planning process. The greatest benefit of a GIS data base in distribution systems is in its application for planning network development. Hence immediate action is needed to obtain a linkage between the planning software and the GIS data base. Current modules of ETAP as well as other commercially available software have this capability and it can be established at minimal costs. Once such a linkage is established the planning process becomes user friendly and efficient. Development proposals can also be presented with geographic diagrams by ‘the click of a button’ facilitating review and discussion on alternatives. In fact major network development proposals should not be considered without the accompanying geographic maps that illustrate the effectiveness of the proposal. Furthermore, network data also becomes ‘current’ as new lines are added to the GIS data base and estimated loads on feeders made easier by the consumer data base linked to the GIS. Accordingly, it is proposed that an unlimited corporate license be obtained for ETAP or equivalent software which will include linkage to the existing GIS database. 39. In addition to improve the software program and linkage with GIS, the planning units need to have good size plotters which can be used to plot the networks and facilitate a planning discussion on alternatives etc. The plotting facility can also be used to identify new grid substation locations and for presentation of plans for review by senior management. 40. A large number of personnel (in approximately 32 Area offices and Wilayahs) are engaged in the distribution planning process and there is considerable staff turnover as people move to other departments. Hence it is very necessary to keep the planning engineers well trained at all times. Much of the efficiency of capital investments being made will depend on the capabilities of these planning engineers. Hence their training is a very important and requires the attention of PLN management. In addition to local training provided at the PLN Training University it is proposed that international exposure be also arranged. This is readily possible by participating in ‘user group’ workshops regularly arranged by software suppliers (including ETAP). 41. Improved use of GIS data base: The GIS data base of PLNs assets and consumers is a very useful and important facility which could be put to greater use in a number of applications (other than for the APKT program). Some of these possible applications are listed below: a. Identification of fault locations by call center/DCC. When calls are received on supply faults a GIS based application can indicate the locations of the respective calls to speedily identify which component of the network could be the possible cause. b. Transformer load management: The number of consumers (and their VA demand) on each distribution transformer will be an indication of the expected load which can be used to ascertain the appropriateness of the transformer rating and initiate any new proposal such as addition of new transformers or augmentation of the existing one. c. Asset management: This data base will allow classification of assets by age etc. an enable better asset management practices to be used. d. System planning: As explained above 60 42. Review of distribution planning concepts: It is recommended that some aspects of the current network plans be reviewed and policy decisions taken on the efficient planning techniques to be used. A major factor is the current excessive investment in the LV networks. Currently the ratio of LV to MV investments is of the order of 1.6 which appears to be quite high. When expanding networks the most appropriate and efficient technique is to transmit the power as much as possible on the MV network and limit the LV line lengths. This requires a greater use of step down transformers of smaller capacity as opposed to large capacity transformer stations and long LV lines. It is possible that the major push towards increasing access rates resulted in ‘quick’ solutions by extending the existing LV networks. Also associated with the recommended policy of greater MV coverage and limitation of LV lines is the possible use of single phase MV extensions and single phase transformers as used extensively in the US practice (as well as other East Asian countries such as Thailand and Philippines). It is thus recommended that PLN examines best practice solutions to the distribution network development and applies the results of studies to future investment, including those of the proposed program. 43. Loss evaluation techniques: At present a procedure is followed to assess the technical and nontechnical components of recorded system losses in a Wilayah by using an ‘asset based’ model for computing technical losses. This model does not appear to give an accurate presentation of the technical losses of a system. The main parameters of the technical losses of a system are the load of each feeder in relation to the characteristics of the conductor used and the line length. A much more accurate estimation of technical losses of a system is possible by applying the software used to study the system. For the purpose of this assessment it is proposed that the MV feeder load flow results of the ETAP or other software program be used together with estimation of representative samples of the LV network losses. A more accurate determination of technical losses of a system will provide a better yardstick to gauge the efficiency of the performance of the Wilayahs in (a) planning the networks and (b) controlling the non-technical losses of the system. By controlling these two factors the Wilayahs should aim to achieve system losses at single digit levels. 44. Focused program to address the long MV lines: Currently the distribution system has a fair number of substantial long MV lines. Feeder line lengths exceeding 100 km appears to be a common feature and feeder lines of 300 km or more are also present in the system. Many of these long lines may have arisen due to successive unplanned extensions to cater to the RE program demands. These long lines will contribute significantly to system losses and longer and more frequent interruptions. Hence a focused attempt at improving the networks associated with these long lines need to be carried out on a priority basis. 45. Evacuation plans from new Grid substations: A number of new Grid substations are expected to be commissioned in Sumatra over the next five years. Efficient plans need to be made for the evacuation of power from these grid substations and to optimize the distribution networks supplied. Focused attention of PLN will be drawn to this aspect. Furthermore Bank supervision will also focus on ensuring efficient planning in this area. 46. Improvement of the Distribution Control Centers: Currently speedy restoration of system failures and improvement of the SAIDI/SAIFI norms are hampered by the deficiencies in the 61 SCADA facilities in the Wilayahs. Three of the Wilayahs have no remote monitoring of the feeders while in the others the SCADA facilities have various limitations. While PLN is making attempts to improve SCADA facilities in each DCC it is recommended that a more comprehensive proposal be developed to include all deficiencies in each Wilayah. For this purpose a study will be undertaken to assess all the requirements at each Wilayah, substation and switching station. The best arrangement would be to issue a single tender to include all the required work for the upgrading of all DCCs in Sumatra. This will allow competitive bids and also ensure a common application program for all DCCs. 62   Annex 5: Summary Fiduciary Systems Assessment 1. A Fiduciary Systems Assessment (FSA) was carried out to evaluate the arrangements relevant to the Program and to determine whether they provide reasonable assurance that the Program funds will be used for their intended purpose. Taking into account the improvements required and the agreement on the actions required to strengthen the systems (which are reflected in the PAP), the overall fiduciary framework is considered adequate to support the Program management and to achieve the desired results. The Assessment of Program fiduciary systems integrates findings in three areas: a. The procurement systems were assessed to determine the degree to which the planning, bidding, evaluation, contract award and contract administration arrangements and practices provide a reasonable assurance that the Program will achieve intended results through its procurement processes and procedures b. The financial management systems were assessed to determine the degree to which the relevant planning, budgeting, accounting, internal controls, funds flow, financial reporting and auditing arrangements provide a reasonable assurance on the appropriate use of Program funds and safeguarding of its assets; and c. The Program was also assessed how PLN’s governance systems handle the risks of fraud and corruption, including the use of complaint mechanisms, and how such risks are managed and mitigated in light of the government’s commitments under the Guidelines on Preventing and Combating Fraud and Corruption in Program for-Results Financing (Anti-Corruption Guidelines or ACGs). 2. Brief Background and Summary of Institutional Arrangements: The PDDP would be funded through direct lending to PT PLN with a sovereign guarantee. This is a relatively new financing arrangement with most prior bilateral and multilateral loans having been on-lent through the Ministry of Finance to state-owned enterprises. The underlying enabling Presidential decree for direct lending has been signed. The related Government regulations have been issued with the institutional mechanisms for project identification, due diligence and recommendation to the Ministry of Finance for guarantee issue are included in the regulation. The program will be administered by a central Project Management Unit (PMU), but the physical implementation activities will be carried out by PLN’s regional offices called “Wilayahs”. The Wilayahs have been carrying out similar programs over the years and are experienced and capable of managing the distribution construction work envisaged under the program. There are several area units under each Wilayah responsible for implementing the program. 3. Planning and Budgeting: Distribution investment is part of PLN’s regular budget and is part of the Government’s general plan on national electricity (RUKN). PLN uses RUKN as a basis to prepare the RUPTL, a10-year plan to fulfill electricity demand in its business area. The RUPTL is prepared through a process which involves the consolidation of investment requirements as determined by PLN’s Units and Wilayahs, and in discussion with various Departments at PLN. 63 4. The proposed program for Bank support would cover the power distribution program of the 5 year time slice of the 2015-2024 RUPTL in the Sumatra region. The proposed program would be US$1.45 billion. PLN is planning to finance the program with an ADB Loan of US$420 million, an IBRD Loan of US$500 million and its own resources for the balance of US$530 million. The Bank’s PforR Loan would finance expenditures for this subprogram of the RUPTL, and disbursements would be made for agreed results achieved during 2015-2019, including prior results from the date of the approval of the Program Concept Note (PCN) by the Bank’s management to effectiveness of the Loan. The Government’s capital injection of IDR 10 trillion is being planned for PLN of which IDR5.6 trillion is planned for Distribution investments. This proposed equity infusion shall be agreed upon with Parliament during the FY 16 budget discussions. PLN plans to use part of this amount to cover this Program. The next step would entail the Government issuing a Government decree (Peraturan Pemerintah) and relevant Government regulations (Peraturan Menteri Keuangan) outlining the details of the proposed equity infusion. The Government’s fund for capital injection would need to be included in the government budget document (DIPA). 5. The RUPTL is a basis for preparing the five-year Corporate Long Term Plan (Rencana Jangka Panjang Perusahaan - RJPP) and a guidance for annual investment decisions in PLN’s Corporate Budget Work Plan (Rencana Kerja Anggaran Perusahaan – RKAP). The budget is prepared and compiled by PLN’s Wilayah offices which are then consolidated at PLN Headquarters. The budget is allocated to recipient Wilayahs following a review, prioritization, and approval process during a stakeholders’ meeting at PLN Headquarters. The entire budget planning through effectiveness process could take up to nine months to complete. Though the budget becomes available later in February at the Wilayah level, PLN starts the procurement process earlier in December of the preceding year and in January PLN can use the budget carried-forward to make contract payments. . 6. Control over budget availability is done manually by the Finance Unit at Wilayahs, since the budgeting system application is not linked to ERP. PLN is developing a new comprehensive budgeting application system called Budget Planning and Monitoring Information System (SIP2A) that will be linked to ERP. This application is still under development and is currently at the user testing phase. 7. Until recently for the distribution network, in addition to its procurement systems under PLN’s budget (APLN) PLN also followed national procedures as set forth in the Presidential Regulation (Perpres 54/2010 as amended from time to time) that apply to budgetary support from the Government (APBN). As PLN’s future investments for the distribution program are expected to be through equity infusion and not through budgetary support, PLN will follow only one set of regulations, i.e. PLN’s procurement regulations and not Perpres. Accordingly only PLN’s procurement systems were assessed for the Program. 8. Procurement Profile of the Program: The Program does not envisage any large value contracts that could exceed the OPRC Threshold. Annual expenditures for the procurement of goods and works in year 2015 are of the order of US$200 million. Major procurement under the Program consists of sixteen Main Distribution Unit (MDU) procured through framework contracts for achieving value for money through economies of scale, reduced number of 64 transactions, and faster procurement. Out of these sixteen MDU items, nine items (i.e. Distribution Transformers; Single Phase Meters; Cables; Conductors; Cubicles; MCB; Isolators; Fuse Cutout; and Lightning Arrestors), representing about 50 percent of the total annual expenditure are procured by PLN’s Supply Chain Management (SCM) division at PLN Pusat (Head Office). Seven MDU items (i.e. Concrete and Steel Poles, Load Break Switch, LV and MV Panels, Current Transformers & Potential Transformers), representing about 25-30 percent of the total annual procurement expenditure are also procured for the whole of Indonesia (called Joint Procurement) by procuring units in some of PLN’s Regional Offices (Wilayahs). Based on the framework contracts for the whole of Indonesia for these sixteen MDUs for 2015, the size of the contracts for Sumatra in 2015 is between US$10,000 to US$10 million. 9. Procurement Regulatory Framework: PLN’s revised Procurement Regulation 620, effective since January 2015, is based on modern procurement concepts. The Regulation embodies general principles of Public procurement, i.e. efficiency, effectiveness, competition, transparency, and fairness; and includes several features of the World Bank’s new Procurement Policy framework. The regulation requires Procurement to follow the “Value-for-Money” (VfM) principle i.e. an optimum combination of 6 (six) rights (6 Rs) right quality, right quantity, right time, right place, right socioeconomic goal and right price and not necessarily the lowest initial price. Under the 6 Rs concept, the right price is given the last position because it is dependent on the other 5 Rs. The socio-economic goal may be social, environmental and other strategic goals such as promoting the use of domestic products. The new procurement regulations are in the initial stages of implementation and as such the effectiveness of the procurement system is yet to be fully ascertained. However, assessment from the initial stages of implementation of the new regulation provides reasonable assurance that procurement systems under the PDDP will achieve the intended results. PLN’s Procurement regulations are presently not publicly disclosed. PLN has agreed to make its procurement regulations available on its website by early 2016. Procurement Methods followed by PLN under the Program are: a. Open/Limited Competitive Bidding: Eleven of the MDU items which constitute about 70-75 percent of procurement expenditure are procured first by qualifying the manufacturers against pre-disclosed criteria (through press advertisement). Bids are then invited from the qualified (registered or DPT) manufacturers which in PLN’s regulation is termed as “Limited Bidding” even though this is equivalent to national competitive bidding. There are between 3 to 19 registered manufacturers for eleven MDU items procured through a competitive process. For the procurement of construction works and maintenance services procured by the Wilayahs/areas (around 240 procuring units) which constitutes approximately 20-25 percent of the procurement expenditure, PLN normally follows open national competitive bidding except for some small value items that are procured using Direct Procurement. Thus over 90 percent of total procurement expenditure is through national competitive bidding. b. Open book method (Direct Contracting/Direct Appointment): Five MDU items (plus one variant of MV panels) comprising around 6-8 percent of total expenditures have only two qualified manufacturers for which PLN enters into Direct Contracting (or Direct Appointment) with each of the two manufacturers through an “open book 65 method”. Though the unit prices of such items procured under open book method are low (normally varying between US$2 to 60), these items have high impact on the reliability of the distribution network and hence the strategic sourcing with the two qualified manufacturers is with the objective of ensuring quality, timely delivery and reasonableness of prices. Under this method both manufacturers, through a confidentiality arrangement with PLN, are required to share their cost structure, overhead and profit percentages which are reviewed and verified by an international consulting firm, Accenture hired by PLN. The open book method appears to be an improved procedure of Direct Appointment and is being followed in PLN since 2012 for Power Transformers. For Distribution, PLN started following the open book method since 2015 in instances when the number of registered/qualified manufacturers is less than 3. However, there are no regulatory boundaries to the use of the open book method. For Power Transformers (which are not part of the Distribution Program) PLN is still continuing to follow the open book method even when the number of registered manufacturers was recently increased from two to four. PLN has agreed that no additional items under the Program will be included under open book method and that PLN will follow this method only for those MDUs where the number of qualified manufacturers is less than three. 10. While under the Distribution Program PLN normally follows a competitive method of procurement or open book order or Direct Procurement, PLN’s regulation also envisages Direct Appointment of SOEs, PLN’s/SOEs’ Subsidiaries or PLN’s/SOEs’ Affiliated Companies and/or small and micro enterprises. Although the possibility of PLN entering into Direct Appointment with SOEs and/or PLN’s affiliate under the Distribution Program appears to be low, this practice, if used under the Program, could be perceived as a Conflict of Interest and of compromising on fairness, transparency and economy in the procurement process. As part of Program Action Plan, PLN has agreed to exclude Direct Procurement/Direct Appointment of SOEs and/or PLN’s subsidiaries, Joint Ventures, affiliates under this Program. 11. Direct Procurement: Direct Procurement is meant to meet the operational needs of simple and low risk goods with a value 80% budget execution) and less so for the the progress of works during implementation.

Substantial inputs will be required by the Bank to support PLN’s implementation of the Program for several reasons: (a) as the first PforR in the traditional electricity sector and the first PforR for Indonesia in any sector there will be a significant learning curve for both the Bank and PLN; (b) a decentralized implementation structure with PLN’s seven Sumatra branch offices which have no previous experience working with the Bank handling the planning, procurement, implementation and reporting; (c) a high degree of geographic dispersion of activities; (d) a scale up of activities to be carried out simultaneously with efforts to strengthen distribution planning and procurement and contract management; (e) modification/strengthening of the program performance verification procedures given that the Loan disbursement will be based on DLIs; and (f) coordination of implementation support and assessments of outcomes with the Asian Development Bank which will be parallel financing broadly the same Program with the Bank and PLN. 2. Specifically Bank implementation support will be needed in the following areas: 3. Technical: The Bank team has reviewed the program systems related to planning of the distribution activities, efficient operation of facilities and provision of quality services. The identified areas for improvement have been agreed with PLN and incorporated in the PAP or used as DLIs. PLN will require continued Bank inputs and advice during the introduction of new systems, tools and techniques. 4. Procurement: The Bank’s procurement team has carried out an extensive review of PLN’s systems for procurement and contract arrangement and has recommended a number of actions. During implementation substantial focus will be needed to support implementation of the road map for increased transparency in procurement and contract management, implementation of new procurement regulations; staff training and certification arrangements. 5. Financial management support will focus on advising PLN on improvements to budget monitoring and control, integration of budget modules with ERP and modifying ERP to provide more data needed for financial reporting. Attention will also be needed on operation of internal audit and SPKK verification of performance to support improvements in approaches and methodologies and to strengthen these functions. The adequacy of PLN’s resources to cover its share of the Program costs will be a recurrent theme on which the Banks’ support will be needed. 6. Environmental and Social: The E& S team will focus on ensuring that PLN’s guidelines and standards on E&S screening are applied in the selection of activities. In addition the team will help to ensure that capacity to manage E&S matters is maintained by the Wilayahs and at PLN Headquarters through training and other activities. 87 7. Support Plan: The majority of the Bank team will be based in Indonesia as is the case during program preparation. A limited number of experts will participate to bring in specialized and international experience. The table below shows the input requirements.
