Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? Yes Board Approved Revised Project Development Objective (If project is formally restructured)HRPDODELs Increase access to clean energy through renewable energy in rural areas.

The initial target of 10/22/2019 Page 1 of 7 Public Disclosure Copy The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Rural Electrification and Renewable Energy Development II (RERED II) Project (P131263) reaching 1.664 million households, farmers, and businesses with access to clean energy services by June 2017 had been exceeded by September 2016.The project has reached 2.6 million households and 6.87 million beneficiaries by June 2019. A total of 26 solar mini-grid projects are approved, out of which 23 are currently in operation. Over 965 solar irrigation pumps are approved and verified by IDCOL to be operational. The target of implementing 1 million ICS by December 2018 was achieved in January 2017. As of May 2019, IDCOL has installed 1.2 million Solar Home Systems (SHSs) implemented through its Partner Organizations (POs) under the RERED II program. The World Bank has initiated a study, with assistance from IDCOL, to draw generalizable lessons from the SHS Program to guide the development and implementation of sustainable solar off-grid electrification programs. The specific objectives of the proposed study were three-fold: (a) Derive lessons from the SHS Program related to its organizational arrangements, business and financial model, technology, how IDCOL mitigated risks, and how new and emerging technologies and business models could be adopted to more effectively mitigate risks; (b) Assess the economic costs, benefits and distributional impacts of the SHS Program; and (c) Assess the effectiveness of measures to overcome the financial difficulties caused by the collapsing SHS market. The study is now ongoing in full swing, and IDCOL from its end is providing all documents with the World Bank team working on the study. The rapid expansion of the rural grid continues to challenge the fast development of the solar micro grid deployment at IDCOL. The Bangladesh Rural Electrification Board is expanding to over 83,000 villages across Bangladesh. Given the current grid expansion scenario, IDCOL is also pursuing government to provide viability gap fund to mini-grid project sponsors to be able to ensure minimum equity return while selling electricity at tariffs equivalent to utility tariff. IDCOL approved 24 new POs on board in April 2019 and they were given the necessary technical and management training along with a special session by the gender consultant from the World Bank to scale up gender sensitive performance. These new POs are currently conducting a field survey and started ICS production in 48 clusters. The total number of POs currently stands at 57. A total of 5,306 small-sized domestic biogas digesters (DBDs) have been constructed by IDCOL till June 2019. The implementation progress for biogas digesters has seen a robust growth in the last six months as compared to the installation of the initial six months.
