Outcome: increased hydropower generation capacity and transmission and medium voltage network efficiency.

Outputs: Hydropower generation developed in the Central Province. Transmission infrastructure capacity enhanced. Efficiency of medium voltage network improved. Demand-side management for energy efficiency improved. Capacity development support provided to CEB.

Implementation Arrangements: The Ministry of Power and Energy (MOPE) will be the executing agency; Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB) will be the implementing agency. A steering committee, chaired by the MOPE secretary, will guide CEB and review progress and results. CEB will set up project implementation units. The units will oversee procurement, disbursement, financial management and accounting, quality assurance, social, and environmental issues; and will coordinate with the procurement committee, appointed by the cabinet or MOPE, depending on the contract size. Full-time managers will supervise each project component under the MFF.

Implementation Status: A review mission was fielded on 18-25 October 2015. Implementation is ongoing according to schedule. Tranche 1 is on track.


234



Minor Change 15 Dec 2015 It was originally envisaged that for Tranche 1, the OCR loan will finance construction of Moragolla hydropower plant and a portion of transmission infrastructure while ADF loan will finance medium-voltage network efficiency improvement, demand-side management pilots, consulting services, and a portion of transmission infrastructure.

Upon completion of evaluation and contract award approval, it became clear that transmission infrastructure can be financed fully from OCR loan due to a lower contract value as a result of competitive bidding and depreciation of the Sri Lankan Rupee for local currency financing portion.

As such, ADF loan will finance 100% of the medium-voltage network efficiency improvement, demand-side management pilots, consulting services, excluding local taxes and duties while OCR loan will finance 100% of construction of Moragolla hydropower plant and the transmission infrastructure, except Lots B1 and B2 of Package 2 originally proposed for AFD financing, excluding local taxes and duties.

Tranche 1 (Loan 3048) is a loan of $400.00 million from Ordinary Capital Resources (OCR), which was approved on 21 October 2013 and declared effective on 21 February 2014. Tranche 1 is rated as On Track.

Progress: As of 31 December 2015, contract awards and disbursements under Tranche 1 have reached $395.63 million (100.0%) and $364.90 million (100.0%), respectively. The strong disbursements under L3048 contributed to financing: (a) seven greenfield road subprojects, one power transmission project and one solar power generation project; and (ii) takeout financing transactions of 6 subprojects (i.e., three state roads, two solar projects, and the international airport in Hyderabad).

Scope Change: There was a minor scope change for this tranche in 2015.

Undertaking and Covenants: With regard to IIFCL's compliance with conditions set forth in the loan agreement, IIFCL has complied with the quarterly risk management reporting to its board risk committee. With regard to the additional covenants to implement an integrated management information system to replace the current manual systems, IIFCL retained a system provider to manage the implementation but is not satisfied with the vendor 's delivery. Consequently, IIFCL is issuing a fresh request for proposal to retain a new vendor. With this delay, IIFCL is not expected to have an integrated management information system until 2016. In the meantime, it will continue to rely on platforms that offer a mix of automated and manual solutions. While ADB has provided a waiver for this covenant under the first tranche, the covenant has been maintained with a revised completion date in the second tranche. Re-submission of audit requirements for FYE 31 March 2015, IIFCL was reminded to submit the acceptable project level audit report (Statutory Auditor's Opinion) of the statement of subprojects which was due last 30 September 2015.

FACILITY UPDATE

possible cancellation; poor performance (red rating) on account of 2 parameters will indicate potential problems and would require RDs to draw an action plan to rectify the facility‘s performance.

MFF Delays - Contributors to MFF Delays are:(i) Substantial delays in tranche processing, and/or (ii) Substantial delays in tranche implementation.

Timeliness in Tranche processing will be evaluated against the tranche sequencing program forecasted in the RRP. Tranches processed …

(i) within one year of the forecasted period will be given an ‘on track‘ (green) rating;(ii) between 1 and 2 years of the forecasted date will be given a ‘Potential problem‘ (yellow) rating, and (iii) beyond 2 years of the forecasted date will be given an ‘at risk‘ (red) rating.

For MFFs where a time-bound tranche sequencing program was not forecasted in the RRP, only, MFF delays will be determined on the following grounds:

(i) if less than 2 years have passed since approval of the previous tranche (up to the stage where the entire MFF has been turned into tranches), a green rating is granted,(ii) if more than 2 years but less than 3 years have elapsed, a yellow rating is given; and(iii) if more than 3 years have elapsed, a red rating applies.

Compliance with MFF undertaking

- The assessment should include compliance with Safeguards and PCP requirements, as well as any timely Reform implementation targets.

(i) Non-compliance with more than 3 undertaking will place the facility in ‘red‘ (unsatisfactory).(ii) Non-compliance with any ‘safeguards‘, ‘PCP‘ and/or ‘reform implementation‘ undertakings will place the MFF in ‘red‘ (unsatisfactory).(iii) Non-compliance with 2 undertakings (other than those outlined in the preceding sentence), will place the facility as ‘partly satisfactory‘. (iv) Compliance with all undertakings with a maximum of one exception (other than those outlined before), will signify a ‘satisfactory‘ criteria.

Tranche Performance - (i) Poor performance (‘at risk‘) on 33% or more of the MFF tranches (by number) would place the MFF ‘at risk‘ (red).(ii) ‘Potential problem‘ rating on 33% or more of the MFF tranches (by number) would categorize the MFF as ‘potential problem‘ (yellow), unless a red rating is triggered.(iii) Other ratings will result ‘on track‘ (green)
