partners established the Asia Alternative Energy Program (ASTAE) to support the transition to environmentally sustainable energy use in developing countries in Asia. ASTAE’s strategic objective during the past decade has been to mainstream alternative energy in World Bank energy sector activities, with the aim of achieving a 10 percent share of renewable energy and energy efficiency components in World Bank energy sector projects in Asia. This strategic objective has been achieved; during the period FY98 –2000 more than 12 percent of the Bank’s power sector lending in Asia was for alternative energy components and projects. With this milestone achieved, ASTAE reviewed its program strategy to ensure that its overall objectives and individual country strategies were in line with the larger business strategies of the East Asia Energy and Mining Sector Development Unit (EASEG), the new East Asia Infrastructure Unit (EASIN), and the Bank as a whole. A management review of the program was initiated in FY02 and finalized in FY03. This status report describes the outcomes of this review. Another important event that took place in this reporting period was the World Summit on Sustainable Development, held in Johannesburg in August/September 2002. The outcomes, specifically relevant to ASTAE, are also described. Both developments will have a profound impact on shaping the future direction of ASTAE. The Consultative Group (CG) of the Energy Trust Funded Programs, which met in Berlin in April 2003, approved the conclusions of the reviewers and asked ASTAE to update its strategy. The ASTAE strategy will be finalized following the 2004 CG meeting. As described in the last status report, FY02 was a very good year for ASTAE with four projects approved by the World Bank Board of Directors with a total alternative energy investment of $228 million, of which the World Bank/Global Environment Facility (GEF) would contribute $171 million. This was 20.6 percent of total energy sector lending for the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) and the International Development Association (IDA) to Asia in FY02. In FY03 the World Bank Board of Directors approved three projects that received ASTAE support. The total alternative energy investment of these three projects together is expected to be $348 million, of which the World Bank/GEF will contribute $81 million. This accounts for 19.9 percent of the total energy sector lending in Asia. Further statistical data for FY02 and FY03 is provided in Annex 1. The updated list of projects supported by ASTAE includes 6 closed projects, 20 projects under implementation, and 9 projects in the pipeline (see Annex 2 for details).1 1 Only projects that are listed as pilot projects in the World Bank “Project Portal” and which consequently have a project identification number are included in the pipeline. Two projects in India have been deleted from the pipeline. As a result of both, the number of projects in the pipeline is reduced. 2 ______________________________________________________________________________________ The funding situation of ASTAE is still healthy. In FY03 the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) approved $2.8 million in funding for ASTAE, of which the first tranche of $1.7 million was transferred. The U.K. Department for International Development (DfID) transferred tranches 4 and 5 of the DfID Trust Fund for ASTAE. To carry out the FY03 work program, ASTAE disbursed $2.2 million for project and program development, implementation of alternative energy projects, and capacity building. Further details are provided in this status report. ASTAE program managers and donors have been considering the need for a new strategy since the ninth donor meeting in April 2000. The ASTAE Management Review and the World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD), both of which took place in the second half of 2002, have reactivated and revitalized this ongoing discussion, as described below. Management Review A management review was first proposed by the EASEG following the 2002 meeting of the Consultative Group on Energy Trust Funded Programs and initiated after a new Infrastructure Department was established in the East Asia and Pacific Region. The objective of the management review was to develop a vision statement and medium-term strategy and business plan, consistent with the Bank’s corporate priorities and budget constraints. The main conclusions of the management review were as follows:  That the ASTAE program undoubtedly enabled the World Bank to promote the introduction of renewable energy and energy efficiency applications in Asia. The partnership with donors has helped increase alternative energy applications to an extent that would not have been possible within the Bank budget alone;  That alternative energy has been mainstreamed in the Asia Region within the Bank, especially in EASEG. However, within the client countries, alternative energy applications are in general still only a fraction of the potential;  That renewable energy and energy efficiency projects are indeed in general more expensive and that they take longer to prepare. First-time renewable energy and energy efficiency projects were in general more expensive and took longer to prepare than conventional projects because these projects required a substantial amount of capacity building across various stakeholder groups, including the private sector. ASTAE resources and, to a much greater extent, GEF resources were invaluable in meeting this critical need. When moving to more standard or routine alternative energy projects, building on earlier projects, this is not necessarily the case, as shown in the case of Sri Lanka2;  That ASTAE should revisit the definition of alternative energy to include a wider range of clean energy services for environmental, health, and poverty alleviation objectives, in order to enhance the impact, especially on the poor; 2 The first project was expensive to prepare and took a long time because preparation also included a vast amount of capacity building. The follow-up Renewable Energy for Rural Development Project (RERED) project, which is very similar to its predecessor, was much cheaper to prepare and took only six months to prepare. 3 ______________________________________________________________________________________  That ASTAE should be continued as an integral part of EASEG. ASTAE is necessary to enable the Bank to pursue alternative energy in Asia and to achieve the scale-up objectives. This will provide maximum flexibility, quick response capacity, and regional focus, which were the main elements of success of ASTAE in the first eight years; and  That the new objectives of ASTAE should be (a) the scale-up of the impact of alternative energy over the next five years using MW of installed electric power capacity equivalent or MW of “less clean” options avoided, and (b) the proactive introduction of energy services delivery to underserved rural and urban poor, measured in poor reached. The conclusions and recommendations were presented and endorsed at the meeting of the Consultative Group of Energy Trust Funded Programs, which met in Berlin in April 2003. World Summit on Sustainable Development The WSSD, held in Johannesburg in August and September 2002, gave new impetus to global action to fight poverty and protect the environment. The agenda for sustainable development was broadened and strengthened, emphasizing particularly the linkages between poverty, the environment, and the use of natural resources. Energy was central to the negotiations and outcomes, although in the end no energy targets were adopted. The key commitments made at the summit related to energy were as follows:  Access to Energy. Improve access to reliable, affordable, economically viable, socially acceptable, and environmentally sound energy services and resources, sufficient to achieve the Millennium Development Goals, including the goal of halving the proportion of people in poverty by 2015;  Renewable Energy. Diversify the energy supply and substantially increase the global share of renewable energy sources in order to increase its contribution to total energy supply;  Energy Efficiency. Establish domestic programs for energy efficiency with the support of the international community. Accelerate the development and dissemination of energy efficiency and energy conservation technologies, including the promotion of research and development; and  Energy Markets. Remove market distortions, including the restructuring of taxes and the phasing out of harmful subsidies. Support efforts to improve the functioning, transparency, and information about energy markets with respect to both supply and demand, with the aim of achieving greater stability and ensuring consumer access to energy services. New ASTAE Strategy The conclusions of the management review, together with the recommendations of the WSSD, will largely form the basis for the new ASTAE strategy. Key features of the new ASTAE strategy will be (a) to extend the definition of alternative energy to include technologies addressing energy poverty in addition to renewable energy and energy efficiency; generically termed sustainable energy technologies; and (b) to scale up sustainable energy implementation by focusing on program development. Including technologies to address energy poverty will enable ASTAE to reach a far greater number of energy-poor households than previously possible, creating a greater synergy with the poverty reduction agenda. It will also avoid the perception that ASTAE is pushing alternative energy options because they were the only options ASTAE could support. Focusing 4 ______________________________________________________________________________________ on program development to create an enabling environment for sustainable energy investments will result in the large-scale impact required to achieve significant contributions of sustainable energy to satisfy energy needs. In FY04 the new ASTAE strategy will be formulated, distributed widely for comments, presented at the meeting of the Consultative Group of the Energy Trust Funded Programs, and finalized. 5 ______________________________________________________________________________________ In FY03 one project that received ASTAE support was closed, bringing the number of closed projects to six (two in South Asia and four in East Asia). During FY03 the World Bank Board approved 3 ASTAE-supported projects, increasing the number of ASTAE-supported projects under implementation to 20 (12 in East Asia and 8 in South Asia). After critically reviewing the pipeline of projects under reconnaissance or preparation, a decision was made to drop a total of three projects (two in South Asia and one in East Asia), leaving just nine projects, all in East Asia, in the pipeline. The two, SASEI pipeline projects, were dropped because there was no indication that SASEI would request ASTAE support to develop these projects.3 The pipeline project in East Asia was dropped because this project eventually had no alternative energy component. The ASTAE Manager has initiated discussions with SASEI on modalities of cooperation. As a result of these discussions, it is expected that beginning in FY04 ASTAE will recommence its support to SASEI projects. Table 1 summarizes changes in FY03 and the situation at the end of FY03. A detailed discussion is provided in the following sections. For details on the implementation status of the projects under implementation see Annex 3 and for details of the status of the projects under preparation see Annex 4. The financial details for projects in East Asia are provided in Annex 5 and for projects in South Asia in Annex 6.

SASEI could still request ASTAE support on an “as needed” bas is, like other units in nonenergy sectors. 6 ______________________________________________________________________________________ In FY03 the World Bank Board of Directors approved the projects China Energy Conservation II, Nepal Power Development, and Vietnam Demand-Side Management. These three projects are described in detail below. China Energy Conservation II (P067337) The board approved the GEF stand-alone China Energy Conservation II Project on October 24, 2002. This project is part of the larger China Energy Conservation Program, which includes the China Energy Conservation I project (P003606/P037859) and a number of technical assistance (TA) activities. China Energy Conservation I was successful in introducing and adapting energy performance contracting to Chinese conditions, developing a viable business model in the three energy management companies (EMCs), and developing an initial market among client enterprises. The objective of this project is to expand domestic investment in energy efficiency projects through the aggressive development of China’s nascent EMC industry. The EMCs undertake energy conservation investment projects in other “host” enterprises based on “energy performance contracts.” EMCs are responsible for project design, procurement, installation, financing, and energy conservation performance. Host enterprises are obliged to pay EMCs a portion of the energy savings realized (typically about 80 percent) over the tenor of the contract (typically 1–3 years) as payment for the project package. The key performance indicators for this project are (a) total energy efficiency investments generated by the EMCs, (b) the revenue paid to EMCs by host enterprises derived from and proportional to actual reductions in energy cost, and (c) reductions in carbon dioxide emissions. The project comprises three components: (a) an EMC Service Component, designed primarily to provide TA to new and emerging EMCs on setting up and developing their businesses; (b) a Project Monitoring, Reporting, and Evaluation Component to support the coordination and evaluation work of the Project Management Office; and (c) an EMC Loan Guarantee Program, designed to provide new and emerging EMCs with enhanced opportunities to receive loans from domestic banks, and to engage banks in the development of a sustainable EMC Industry. This project is expected to generate $384 million equivalent energy efficiency investments over the duration of the project. Over the lifetime of the equipment (9.2 years) this is expected to save 35.3 million tce and reduce carbon emissions by 23.5 million tons. The total project cost is $243 million, of which the GEF provides $26 million. No World Bank loan is involved. The GEF contribution will be used for the EMC guarantee programs ($24 million), TA ($6.2 million), and project management and monitoring ($2.3 million). ASTAE supports the larger China Energy Conservation Program through a major TA program for the EMCs. The total budget for this support is about $2.5 million. Financial support for ASTAE to carry out this program comes from the DfID (TF027746). Initial major activities included (a) development and initial delivery of a massive and sophisticated training program for new EMCs, including an introductory course, and advanced, interactive workshops on EMC corporate development and business strategy, EMC project development and management, EMC financial management, and new and emerging business opportunities; (b) definition of the optimal long-term institutional arrangement for EMC Service Association, based in part on the operational experiences of energy service company (ESCO) associations internationally; and (c) a series of activities to raise awareness concerning the EMC industry in local banks, to help bank 7 ______________________________________________________________________________________ officials to understand the details of the business, and to provide EMCs with customized TA in their preparation of applications for loan finance. The Task Team Leader of this program considers the ASTAE support a vital part of the overall program. Nepal Power Development (P043311) The Nepal Power Development Project was approved on May 22, 2003. Its objectives are to: (a) develop Nepal’s hydropower potential; (b) improve access of rural areas to electricity services; and (c) promote private participation in the power sector as a way to improve sector efficiency and to mobilize financing for the sector’s investment requirements. The project consists of three components, namely (a) establishment of a Power Development Fund (PDF) to finance private development of small and medium-sized hydro schemes; (b) community-based village electrification through construction of microhydro systems (sizes of up to 100 kW); and (c) grid transmission and distribution improvements. Total project cost is estimated at $133 million, of which IDA provides $76 million, $50 million as a credit, and $25 million as a grant. The estimated total alternative energy investment is $87 million, of which an estimated $49 million comes from IDA. The Power Development Fund will be a financing facility to be established by the government under the project. The fund will be wholly owned and operated by the government, but with administrative management contracted out to a commercial bank. The PDF will finance small hydro schemes with an aggregated capacity of about 25 MW and one medium-sized scheme of about 30 MW. In parallel with the PDF project, several TA activities have been provided by the GTZ under its Small Hydro Promotion Project, including assistance to local entrepreneurs to ensure that their investment proposals are bankable. The Microhydro Village Electrification component will support scaling-up of community-based microhydro village electrification by developing about 2.5 to 3.0 MW of new microhydropower systems to serve some 30,000 new consumers. The component will build on the successes achieved under the Rural Energy Development Program financed by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). The Grid Transmission and Distribution component will support grid reinforcement and construction. ASTAE supported the Nepal Power Development Project in its initial stage by providing inputs on Rural Electrification for the Nepal Power Sector Development Study. In addition ASTAE established the cooperation between the project and GTZ. Support provided by ASTAE was financed from the Swiss and Netherlands Trust Funds for ASTAE. Vietnam Demand-Side Management (P071019) This stand-alone GEF project was approved by the board on June 24, 2003, and is associated with the project Vietnam System Efficiency Improvement, Equitization and Renewables Project approved in FY02. The objectives of the project are (a) to develop and expand demand-side management (DSM) business programs and test new market transformation efforts within the national electric utility; and (b) develop sustainable business models and mechanisms to support energy efficiency (EE) retrofit investments in commercial and industrial facilities. This project represents the second phase of a 3- to 4–phase program covering 12 years (1998–2010). The first phase under the DSM program—supported by IDA and the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida) under the Transmission, Distribution and Disaster Reconstruction Project—is now complete. The second phase comprises two components—a DSM component and a pilot commercial EE program. The DSM component 8 ______________________________________________________________________________________ includes: (a) expanded time-of-use metering; (b) a pilot direct load control program; (c) the promotion of compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs); (d) Fluorescent Tube Lamp (FTL) market transformation; and (e) supporting programs and TA. The pilot commercial EE program seeks to test appropriate business models and mechanisms to catalyze a small and sustainable service market to support EE investments in Vietnam. This will be achieved by supporting a small group of commercial service providers in all phases of EE project identification, development, and implementation. The program will initially focus on private commercial buildings, hotels, other office buildings, and selected creditworthy industries capable of accessing financing on their own. Total project cost is $19 million, of which IDA provides $5.2 million and the GEF $5.5 million. The project is expected to reduce peak capacity demand by 120 MW and save 798 GWh of energy. The energy savings are to be achieved, among other ways, through the sales of 1 million CFLs and 6 million fluorescent tube lamps. ASTAE supported preparation of this project by providing consultants and by conducting specific supporting studies. In FY03 the Sri Lanka Energy Services Delivery (ESD) project was closed. The Sri Lanka Energy Services Delivery Project was successful, although it had a slow start. A summary from the Implementation Completion Reports is given below: Sri Lanka Energy Services Delivery (P010498/P039965) The Sri Lanka Energy Services Delivery project received a large amount of ASTAE support during the identification, preparation, and implementation phases. The project was designed as a $55 million project with a $24 million IDA credit and $5.9 million GEF grant. The project supported the establishment of 26MW renewable electricity generating capacity and provide electricity to 32,000 households using photovoltaics. At the beginning of the project, the minihydro industry was virtually nonexistent. Only about 1 MW of privately owned minihydro capacity was available in 1997. As part of the ESD project, 31 MW of minihydro capacity has been installed through 15 subprojects. Six serious private sector minihydro developers are now active in Sri Lanka. As a result of the ESD, the cost of minihydro has come down from $1,030 per kW of installed capacity to an average $964 per kW. At the start of the project, three photovoltaic (PV) companies were selling 20 to 30 PV systems per month. At the end of the project, sales were up to 850 systems per month. In total, about 21,000 systems were sold during the project implementation period. Although this is less than the original target, a sustainable market for PV systems has been established. The cost came down slightly from $11 per Wp to $10 per Wp at the end of the project. The ESD project also supported the installation of 350 kW of village hydro systems, serving 1,732 beneficiary households. The pilot grid-connected wind farm component installed five 600 kW wind turbines. Capacity building under the ESD included institutional strengthening of a number of institutions in Sri Lanka involved in the project. Capacity building in the Ceylon Electricity Board DSM branch included implementation of a Load Research Program and a DSM strategy, along with the design and implementation of a Code of Practice for Energy Efficient Commercial Buildings. 9 ______________________________________________________________________________________ Actual disbursements were somewhat lower than expected. Of the $24 million IDA credit, $22 million was disbursed; of the $5.9 million GEF grant, $5.7 million was disbursed. The actual total project cost is estimated at $45 million instead of the $55 million at the design stage. Of the pipeline projects included in the FY02 ASTAE Progress Report, three projects were approved (see above), and three projects were deleted (two projects in India and the China Hubei Hydropower Development in Poor Areas). The project in China was approved by the World Bank board, but in the end it did not include a small hydro component. For the two pipeline projects in India no request for ASTAE support is expected. The two main nonlending activities carried out by ASTAE in FY03 were the completion of the Energy, Poverty, and Gender Project (EnPoGen) and the production of the second version of the quality training manuals developed under the Quality Program for Photovoltaics (QuaP- PV). EnPoGen The project “Asia Alternative Energy Policy and Project Development Support: Emphasis on Poverty Alleviation and Women” (abbreviated to EnPoGen) was a stand-alone project financed from the Bank-Netherlands Partnership Program (BNPP). The objective of EnPoGen was to obtain a better understanding of the impact of energy services on poverty alleviation and gender equity. To achieve these objectives, EnPoGen carried out three detailed country studies and developed, in cooperation with Energy Sector Management Assistance Programme (ESMAP), a methodology for monitoring and evaluating rural electrification projects. The country studies were carried out in China, Indonesia, and Sri Lanka, using both qualitative and quantitative methodologies. Although the main focus was on rural electricity, the studies addressed to some extent rural energy in general. The decision to focus on rural electricity was based on the fact that the majority of projects supported by ASTAE, designed to contribute to poverty alleviation and gender equity, dealt with rural electrification. The methodology for monitoring and evaluating rural electrification projects includes participatory assessments and socioeconomic impact studies. The need for this methodology was identified in the EnPoGen kickoff workshop, conducted in January 2000. Under EnPoGen, two background reports and a synthesis report were also prepared. The full list of reports is given in Annex 8. The results of EnPoGen have been disseminated through a special issue of ENERGIA News, a newsletter for gender and sustainable energy. Further, ASTAE conducted an EnPoGen workshop in Washington in December 2002 and prepared a CD-ROM containing all the reports produced under EnPoGen. This CD-ROM has been widely distributed and is available to energy practitioners upon request or from the EnPoGen page at the ASTAE website (http://www.worldbank.org/astae/enpogen/). The EnPoGen studies and reports will contribute to improving the understanding of the linkages between rural access to electricity, poverty alleviation, and gender equity, and will enable the World Bank and ASTAE to maximize the impact of rural electrification activities on poverty alleviation and gender equity. 10 ______________________________________________________________________________________ Follow-Up on QuaP-PV Another stand-alone activity financed from the BNPP was called “Mitigating Global Climate Change through the Development of a Quality Process Infrastructure for Renewable Energy Project,” QuaP-PV for short. Under this project, which was implemented from March 1999 to March 2000, four quality training manuals were prepared:  Quality Management in Photovoltaics: Quality Control Training Manual for Manufacturers (Global Approval Program for Photovoltaics (PV GAP))  Training Manual for Quality Improvement of Photovoltaic Testing Laboratories in Developing Countries (Florida Solar Energy Center)  Certification for the PV Installation and Maintenance Practitioner: Manuals for Implementing Qualified Certification Programs (Institute for Sustainable Power)  Solar Home Systems: Manual for the Design and Modification of Solar Home System Components (Netherlands Energy Research Center) In FY03 the Quality Control Training Manual for Manufacturers was updated to reflect the changes in the newly issued International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 9001:2000 quality standard. The updated manual was also translated into French, German, and Spanish. The update and translations were funded by the European Commission, Directorate General Energy and Transport, in the framework of the Alternative Energy Program of the European Commission (ALTENER) Program, and the Swiss government. ASTAE also supported the updating and the production of the second edition CD-ROM. The manuals are also available on the ASTAE Internet site (http://www.worldbank.org/astae/). 11 ______________________________________________________________________________________ In FY03 ASTAE continued its efforts to build strong client partnerships with a number of organizations throughout the Asia RegionThese activities are often part of project identification, preparation, and implementation, and through the nonlending activities. As an example, ASTAE strengthened its partnership with PV GAP by supporting the updating of the PV GAP quality manual and its translation into French, German, and Spanish. Other partnerships important for the work of ASTAE are the partnerships with international nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) working on alternative energy. This can happen through a contractual arrangement or directly, through providing training materials, documents, or participation. As examples, ASTAE built and strengthened its partnership with Winrock International and the Energia network under EnPoGen. Finally ASTAE continues to build donor partnerships. This not only takes place through meetings of the Consultative Group for the Energy Trust Funded Programs and bilateral meetings with donors, but also in client countries where ASTAE supports the establishment of donor coordination or donor information exchange groups. For example, ASTAE has supported the establishment of the renewable energy information exchange group in China, which meets roughly every six months to exchange information of the renewable energy projects supported by the different donors. The responsibility for organizing these meetings rotates among the different donors. Eight of these meetings have been held. ASTAE will seek to replicate this in other countries. The 2003 Consultative Group (GC) meeting for the Trust Funded Programs was held in Berlin from April 28 to 30. This meeting was of particular importance to ASTAE as the results of the ASTAE Management Review were presented and endorsement was sought for strategic changes for the operation of ASTAE. In its presentation, ASTAE presented three main issues for discussion:  Widening the definition of alternative energy to include addressing energy poverty;  Keeping ASTAE in EASEG so as to serve both East and South Asia; and  Giving ASTAE more autonomy and increase transparency in program coordination and fiduciary duties. To tap synergies with poverty and access and for further integration of ASTAE in EASEG operations, ASTAE would benefit from extending the definition of alternative energy to include activities addressing energy poverty. This would increase its relevance to the Bank’s mission, by allowing the least-cost solutions to energy issues, and would also remove the perception of technology push. Experience has shown that integrating ASTAE into EASEG strengthened ASTAE’s operational focus, which is considered one of the main success factors of ASTAE. Keeping ASTAE in EASEG provides maximum flexibility and enables quick response to requests for assistance from task team leaders. It also will enable a better focus on regional characteristics and will build greater knowledge and experience on the countries relevant to EASEG and SASEI. 12 ______________________________________________________________________________________ The CG meeting heard that, because the trust fund fiduciary requirements and complexity of projects supported by ASTAE have grown, the management requirements for ASTAE have increased. Meanwhile, EASEG has been integrated into the infrastructure department (EASIN), and bank budgets have shrunk. To provide the proper level of management support for ASTAE and to fulfill the fiduciary responsibility, additional management support is required. It was proposed to provide additional management support through appointment of a coterminous ASTAE coordinator funded by donors. This would also create more autonomy of ASTAE and transparency in program coordination while maintaining operational relevance. The management tasks are expected to require 50 percent of the coordinator’s time. In addition, one or two coterminous staff would be needed in headquarters to provide a mix of skills required to work on the extended ASTAE mandate. The CG meeting accepted these proposals and EASEG management will put them into implementation in FY04. 13 ______________________________________________________________________________________ ASTAE supports alternative energy initiatives at all stages of the project cycle, broadly identification, preparation, implementation, and evaluation. At the identification stage, support can be provided for identification studies or missions, or by supporting energy sector work to assess issues and options with respect to alternative energy. At the project implementation stage, ASTAE can support troubleshooting of alternative energy components. In the past, ASTAE has also supported project evaluation to draw out lessons learned and best practices from completed alternative energy projects or project components. The major part of ASTAE support, however, is devoted to support project preparation through capacity building and financing supporting studies. The use of donor funds by ASTAE in FY03 totaled $2.2 million (see Table 2). The use of World Bank resources, including GEF Bank Budget (BB), GEF Project Development Facility (PDF), consultant Trust Funds and the Japan Policy and Human Resources Development Fund (PHRD), totaled in FY03 $1.7 million. The total donor funds utilized by ASTAE since FY92 is $19 million. Table 3 provides details on this by fiscal year and by donor. Total World Bank resource utilization on ASTAE- supported projects since FY92 totals $13 million. Table 2 summarizes the donor and World Bank resources utilization by fiscal year. ASTAE has mobilized more than $22 million in donor resources since FY92.

Mr. Mohammad Farhandi, Acting Sector Director, East Asia Energy and Mining Development Sector Unit, was the ASTAE Program Manager. Supporting these individuals is a highly skilled team of alternative energy specialists, engineers, economists, and administrative staff (for further details, see Annex 10). 18 FY03 was a successful year for ASTAE with the approval of another three ASTAE- supported projects. Total alternative energy investment of these three projects is expected to be $348 million, of which the World Bank/GEF will provide $81 million. The shrinking of the project pipeline, primarily because of the absence of any ASTAE support to put South Asia energy projects in the pipeline, is a matter of major concern. The new ASTAE manager has initiated discussions with South Asia energy on this issue, with results expected next year. ASTAE is also offering its services to nonenergy units in East and South Asia, including East Asia Urban and South Asia Environment. It is expected that these cross- sectoral initiatives will also lead to additional ASTAE-supported projects in the pipeline beginning next year. 19 ______________________________________________________________________________________ Lending and GEF support (million $) FY02 FY03 World Bank lending 19,519 18,513 East Asia and the Pacific 1,774 2,311 South Asia 3,508 2,919 Asia Total 5,282 5,230 Energy lending total 1,975 1,088 East Asia and the Pacific 315 254 South Asia 505 151 Asia Total 829 405 Energy as share of World Bank lending 10.1% 5.9% East Asia and the Pacific 17.7% 11.0% South Asia 14.4% 5.2% Asia Total 15.7% 7.7% Lending for alternative energy (estimated) East Asia and the Pacific 17.2 0 South Asia 132.9 49.2 Asia 150.1 49.2 GEF support for alternative energy East Asia and the Pacific 4.5 31.5 South Asia 16 0 Asia 20.5 31.5 Lending plus GEF support for alternative energy (% of energy lending) East Asia and the Pacific 6.9% 12.4% South Asia 29.5% 32.7% Asia 20.6% 19.9% 20 Closed Loans, Credits and Grants 1. Lao PDR Provincial Grid Integration (PGI), P004197 This project included components for demand-side management (DSM) and institutional building. ASTAE coordinated a South–South twinning arrangement between Electricité du Laos (EdL) and Tenaga Nasional Berhad (the Malaysian electric utility) to provide comprehensive training in utility operations to EdL.

Closing date: January 31, 2000.5 2. India Renewable Resources Development, P010410/P0095836 ASTAE assisted in the overall design, appraisal and supervision of this project, which included PV, wind, and minihydro components totaling $284 million in investment. The Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency (IREDA) has played a direct, as well as catalytic, role in successfully commercializing renewable energy. Renewable energy share of power generation capacity in India is now growing faster than ever before. It increased from about 0.1 percent of total generation capacity in 1992 to 3 percent in 2000. Nearly 3,000 MW of wind, small hydro, biomass, and solar photovoltaic power systems were in operation by March 2001 compared with about 100 MW in 1992. IREDA has supported additions about half this capacity, whereas the balance was financed through private sector equity, Ministry of Non-Conventional Energy Sources (MNES) support, and loans from other lenders. The project financed over 113 MW of small hydro capacity in 33 projects compared with a target of 100 MW. During this period IREDA financed an additional 155 MW of small hydro using other resources. Wind farm capacity financed under the project was 87.2 MW in 27 projects compared with 85 MW envisaged at project appraisal. During this period IREDA financed an additional 184 MW of wind power using locally mobilized resources. The PV projects that were financed totaled 2.2 MWp in 78 projects, or slightly below the target of 2.5 MWp. The products financed ranged from solar lanterns, PV irrigation pumps, and village solar power schemes to a 200 kWp grid-tied system. In addition, IREDA financed an additional 4 MWp of PV irrigation pumps with MNES assistance. A $26 million GEF grant supported both the wind farm and PV market development components. Total Alternative Energy project cost was $284 million, of which $115 was provided from IBRD/IDA and $26 million from the GEF. Board approval date: December 17, 1992.

Thailand Distribution System and Energy Efficiency, P004796/P004647 This project provided support for the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand’s (EGAT’s) implementation of a five-year DSM demonstration program. The project created considerable momentum in promoting efficient electricity consumption through utility-sponsored DSM programs and public education. EGAT’s Demand-Side Management Office (DSMO) launched more than 17 efficiency programs for lighting, appliances, industrial-commercial buildings, and load management. The DSMOexceeded its savings target of 238 MW in load reduction by 238 percent, and achieved 566 MW in avoided capacity through improved efficiency gains. The energy savings from this program avoided an estimated 2.3 million tons of CO2 emissions. Total alternative energy investment was $59 million, of which the GEF provided $9.5 million, although $1.5 million of this was later allocated to the Thailand Metropolitan Distribution Reinforcement Project. Board approval date: April 27, 1993. Closing date: June 19, 2000. 4. Indonesia Second Rural Electrification (REII), P003979 This project provided support for the Indonesian State Electricity Corporation’s (PLN’s) least - cost rural electrification program, which included renewable energy generation components. Among the objectives of the project was the establishment of incentives for private sector and local cooperatives to take an increasingly larger share of rural energy distribution and renewable energy development within the framework of a least-cost rural energy master plan. ASTAE supervised the preparation, appraisal, and supervision of the small geothermal and grid-connected minihydro components. Private participation in small power generation was supported by the issuance of regulations and letters of awards, announcement of purchase tariffs, but the financial crisis in 1997 prevented further progress. The minihydro projects (7.8 MW) were commissioned at about 14 percent below estimated cost. PLN prepared additional minihydro and minigeothermal projects with an aggregate capacity of about 30 MW for future assistance, but no follow-up investment was made on account of the negative impact of the financial crisis. Total alternative energy investment was $19 million, of which IBRD/IDA provided $13 million. Board approval date: February 28, 1995. Closing date: September 11, 2000. 5. Vietnam Power Development, P042236 This project supported the development of new gas-fired generator at Phu My and augmentation of transforming capacity to meet the electricity needs of Vietnam. ASTAE assisted in the preparation of Terms of Reference for a Rural Electrification Master Plan that included renewable energy technologies and assisted in the supervision of the Master Plan’s preparation. Total alternative energy investment was $1.6 million, of which IBRD/IDA support was $0.5 million. Board approval date: February 20, 1996. Closing date: June 30, 2000. ___________________________ N.B. The portfolio of ASTAE-supported projects does not include projects that have been canceled or dropped. The Asia financial crisis had a severe impact on lending operations in Indonesia, forcing the cancellation of two projects under implementation (the Sumatra and Kalimantan Power and the Renewable Energy for Small Power Projects) and three projects under preparation (Eastern Indonesia Renewable Energy Development Project, Eastern Islands Power Sector Development Project, and the Sumatra, Kalimantan Sulawesi Rural Electrification Project). The Henan (Qinbei) Thermal Power Project in China, which included an energy efficiency component, was canceled shortly after loan approval. The Philippines Renewable Energy Isolated Grids AIJ project is no longer being implemented by the Bank. Four projects in India were also dropped in FY01. These are the Solar Thermal Project (no longer implemented by the Bank), UP Power Sector Restructuring APL, Haryana Power Sector Restructuring APL II, and Calcutta Urban Water Supply Project. 22 6.
