Financing Plan for Proposed Project to be Supported by JFPR Financier Amount ($) JFPR 1,500, Government 239, Other Sources (Please identify) 3. Genesis Total 1,978, , (contributions from private sector and civil society) The Government of the Philippines, through the Department of Energy (DOE), aims to achieve 100% electrification at barangay level by the year However, it is expected that not all households can be electrified within the said period due to technical as well as financial constraints to on-grid expansion and connections. It is anticipated that some households, especially those located in island and upland communities will remain unelectrified due to their remoteness and economic non-viability. Interest in exploring and developing the application of renewable energy sources for off-grid electrification is therefore growing. But the technical, managerial, and financial sustainability of such off-grid electrification programs remains an issue, considering that the poorest of the poor live in those areas. The challenge therefore is how to build up local capacity for developing and implementing development programs that link poverty reduction, sustainable energy development, and livelihood activities promotion with the active participation of key stakeholders.
8 5 The Government requested the Asian Development Bank (ADB) to prepare, through the Japan Fund for Poverty Reduction (JFPR), an innovative poverty reduction project to pilot renewable energy and livelihood development in poor off-grid rural communities in Negros Occidental. The Renewable Energy and Livelihood Development for the Poor in Negros Occidental (the JFPR Project) was prepared through a participatory process involving various stakeholders. The proposal is based on the findings of the Appraisal Mission and understanding reached during local and national consultations with representatives from central, provincial, and district government agencies; key agencies and companies in the energy sector; relevant aid agencies; nongovernment organizations (NGOs); and other civil society groups. The JFPR Project will target the low-income groups in eight off-grid villages in Negros Occidental, who depend mainly on the use of kerosene, batteries, and candles for their current energy requirements. The expected household beneficiaries total about 2,480, around 35% of whom live below the regional poverty threshold. 4. Innovation The JFPR Project highlights the innovation of sustaining rural electrification through the community participator approach by (i) providing renewable energy sources in poor off-grid communities; (ii) mobilizing communities; (iii) promoting the communities understanding of the project and stimulating their sense of ownership; (iv) promoting income-generating activities to reduce poverty in the areas; (v) building local capacities to manage, maintain, and operate the JFPR Project; and (vi) supporting publicprivate-community partnership essential for implementation success. 5. Sustainability For technical sustainability, local stakeholders (local government units [LGUs], beneficiary communities, and existing or newly formed BAPAs/VPAs) will be involved in project design, implementation, and management throughout the Project s life. Central to the sustainability of the Project are the commitment and readiness of the beneficiary communities to operate, maintain, use, and expand the renewable energy systems installed and livelihood activities developed under the Project. The Project will cultivate a sense of ownership among its beneficiary communities through focused information, education, and communication programs; and intensively prepare the beneficiary communities to sustain the renewable energy systems and livelihood activities themselves through technical and administrative skills development, funds build up, and promotion of renewable energy applications in village-based livelihood opportunities. After the assistance period ends, the Project will be turned over to the beneficiary communities who will then take responsibility for operating and maintaining the renewable energy systems, and promoting livelihood development. For financial sustainability, the Project will be sustained by the beneficiaries willingness to pay arising from the additional income that will be realized at the household level due to (i) productivity improvements and increased production value with the availability of electricity; (ii) creation of livelihood opportunities in the areas; and (iii) savings from forgone fossil-fuel consumption, hauling and transportation cost. An energy service charge will therefore be recommended for cost recovery, comparable with current alternative energy costs that the targeted households pay. The recommended fee, varying for subprojects in the range of P10-35 per kilowatt-hour (kwh) or about $ per kwh, is much lower than the existing expenditures incurred by the target beneficiaries for their energy consumption, which are about P60-75 per kwh or about $ per kwh. In addition, the Project can tap contributions from the universal charge 2 imposed under the Energy Power Industry Reform Act (EPIRA) to support missionary electrification, 3 since it could be 2 Universal charge is a charge embedded in the power rates imposed to all electricity end-users, and is dedicated to recover stranded costs and finance electrification efforts in financially nonviable areas. 3 Missionary electrification refers to government-private partnership electrification initiatives in financially nonviable villages and barangays in the Philippines.
9 6 considered a government-private partnership for electrification in nonviable areas. Further, since some of the subproject sites are located in an energy resource development zone in Negros Occidental, as stated in DOE Regulation 1-94, 4 these subprojects can source financial support of P0.01 per kwh from electricity generators. Such financial support will contribute much to the sustainability of the Project. 6. Participatory Approach The Project emphasizes close stakeholder cooperation among central government, LGUs, NGOs, private sector, and communities. The community-based approach has been applied from the very start of project design and preparation. The eight subproject sites were selected through stakeholder consultations involving LGUs, NGOs, private sector, and communities, where the selection criteria were developed. During implementation, the implementing agency is to promote the community s understanding of the project, stimulate the sense of ownership, and encourage participation. The communities will contribute to renewable energy installation, and community-based cooperatives will be established for livelihood development. The BAPAs/VPAs will be established where no such association exists, and the capacity to operate and manage the renewable energy systems as well as the revolving fund for electrifying poor households will be built up. DOE, in cooperation with LGUs, will oversee project implementation and provide guidance. Primary Beneficiaries and Other Affected Groups and Relevant Description Unelectrified communities of eight off-grid villages in Negros Occidental, which rural electric cooperatives considered technically and financially nonviable, with more than 100 households and about 2,480 beneficiaries, most of whom live below the regional poverty threshold (average per capita income of $0.27 per day) Sitio Cabayabasan, Montilla, Moises Padilla Sitio Bais, Yubo, La Carlota City Barangay Bunga, Don Salvador Benedicto Barangay Gawahon, Victorias City Refugio Island, San Carlos City Lakawon Island, Cadiz City Molocaboc Island, Sagay City Sitio Tabadiang, Minoyan, Murcia Other Key Stakeholders and Brief Description National government represented by National Economic Development Authority (NEDA), DOE, and Technology Livelihood Resource Center under Department of Science and Technology (DOST) Provincial government of Negros Occidental Local government units of Bacolod City, Victorias, San Carlos City, Sagay City, Don Salvador Benedicto, La Carlota City, Moises Padilla, Bago City, Minoyan, Gawahon, Cauayan Philippines National Oil Company Energy Development Corporation (PNOC-EDC), government-owned energy corporation with energy exploration activities in Negros Occidental Existing community organizations and BAPAs/VPAs based in the target communities Beneficiary communities NGOs to be involved in project implementation 7. Coordination The JFPR Project was developed in close consultation with other multilateral and bilateral assistance agencies including the World Bank, the Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC), and the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). The World Bank is preparing a rural power project in the Philippines focusing on policy reform and strengthening of rural electric cooperatives. JBIC has an ongoing initiative on geothermal development in the Philippines. JICA is active in supporting renewable energy for rural electrification in the Philippines. During project preparation, the JFPR Project concept 4 DOE Regulation 1-94 imposes on power producers and energy resource developers a one-centavo per kilowatt-hour of the electricity sales to recompense the LGUs or regions hosting such energy undertakings. The fund can be used in the area for electrification, development and livelihood, reforestation, watershed management, health and/or environment enhancement.
10 7 was shared with the concerned staff of the World Bank, JBIC, and JICA. All showed interest in the Project, particularly the innovation of sustaining rural electrification by providing renewable energy sources, promoting income-generating activities, building the capacity of the private sector and community, as well as supporting public-private-community partnership. The Project will continue information exchange with the agencies during project implementation. During project preparation, other ongoing rural electrification and livelihood development programs were consulted, including the sustainable rural enterprise program in Visayas in partnership with the United States; the Alliance for Mindanao off-grid renewable energy in Mindanao funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID); and the renewable energy program in Palawan funded by Pilipinas Shell Foundation. The experiences as well as lessons learned were considered in designing and preparing the Project. 8. Detailed Cost Table Please refer to Appendix 1 for the detailed cost estimates. C.

Linkage to ADB Strategy and Relevant Technical Assistance Document Country Strategy and Program Update ( ) Poverty Partnership Agreement TA 3422-PHI: Rural Electrification Institutional Strengthening (TA Completion Report) TA 4151-PHI: Promotion of Good Governance in the Restructured Power Sector Document Number Date of Last Discussion Objective(s) Sec.M October 2002 ADB supports rural infrastructure including power and assists in accelerating development in rural areas by focusing on improvement of rural livelihood, using a community-based, demanddriven participatory approach (which the JFPR Project has complied with). October 2001 ADB supports the Philippine Government s development priorities emphasizing infrastructure development and comprehensive human development, and recognizes the high quality of participation of civil society in the development of the principles of poverty reduction (which the JFPR Project has complied with). IN February The TA aims to upgrade, develop and strengthen 2003 institutional capabilities in rural energy planning, policy and program formulation, and project implementation. The TA recommends major changes to the rural electrification approach in the Philippines, among them, developing capacities of new and renewable energy technologies as well as testing integration of livelihood programs into the rural electrification program to help reduce poverty and enhance the sustainability of projects (which the JFPR Project has complied with). July 2003 One of the main components of the TA will develop a 5-year missionary electrification development plan (which supports the JFPR Project providing policy, regulatory framework, and incentive structure to promote missionary electrification development).
11 8 2. Linkage to Specific ADB-Financed Operation Project Name Project Number Power Sector Restructuring Program (PSRP) ADB Loan 1662-PHI Date of Board Approval 24 November 1998 Loan Amount ($ million) State the above-mentioned project s development objective The principal objective of the PSRP is to create competitive electricity markets by unbundling generation and transmission, and providing open and equal access to transmission and distribution. The PSRP will achieve operational improvements and increased efficiencies in distribution operations. The program loan will help finance the adjustment costs associated with power sector restructuring. Actions under the PSRP will support the objectives: (i) creating an enabling legal and regulatory environment to support competitive markets in electricity; and (ii) unbundling and corporatizing the operations of National Power Corporation (NPC) to facilitate the introduction of competitive markets in electricity. Recognizing that potential rural consumers are inaccessible to economically viable electrification, the PSRP promotes sustained rural electrification. In this connection, the JFPR Project will be conceptually linked to the PSRP through a pro-poor equitable energy distribution mechanism and use of renewable energy in nonelectrified off-grid areas to encourage livelihood and sustained rural development. The JFPR Project will complement the ongoing power sector reform by promoting renewable energy for off-grid applications in nonelectrified areas, specifically targeting the rural poor households in these areas. 4. List the project s main components 5 No. Component Name Brief Description 1. Create an enabling legal and regulatory framework 2. Unbundle and corporatize NPC s operations 5. Rationale for Grant Funding versus ADB Lending The component aims to implement policy reforms including the enactment of EPIRA, which extends assistance to financially and technically nonviable areas for grid connection, as well as the application of renewable energy sources for electricity generation. This component aims to unbundle NPC s operations and strengthen the Strategic Power Utilities Group (SPUG) in undertaking missionary electrification, especially in off-grid poor communities. The JFPR Project is expected to integrate livelihood development in the application of renewable energy systems in off-grid areas. It will demonstrate poverty reduction in remote communities through promotion of public-private-community partnership, enhancement of local capacities, and development of livelihood activities. Such an intervention is a new area for the Government to invest in. Familiarization in operation and management of such activities is necessary through pilot testing using grant funds. 5 The components related to the JFPR Project are highlighted.
12 9 D. Implementation of the Proposed Grant 1. Provide the Name of the Implementing Agency Winrock will be recruited by ADB under direct selection procedures in accordance with ADB s Guidelines on the Use of Consultants, and it will be responsible for the dayto-day implementation of the project components. Established in 1985, Winrock is a recognized NGO in promoting clean and reliable energy services, using renewable energy technologies, improving livelihoods, and enhancing economic and social development. In the past few years alone, Winrock, in coordination with its network of Renewable Energy Project Support Offices, has been instrumental in bringing on-line more than 720 megawatts (MW) of biomass, wind, and hydropower capacity, and in installing more than 10,000 off-grid solar photovoltaic (PV), wind, and small hydro systems. The Alliance for Mindanao Off-Grid Renewable Energy (AMORE) Program in Mindanao highlights Winrock s performance in promoting renewable energy and sustainable development in the Philippines. AMORE is an ongoing program of $8.0 million funded by USAID. It aims to electrify remote rural communities in western and central Mindanao and the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao by installing renewable energy systems in the chosen communities, and preparing the communities to continually run, maintain, and benefit from these systems as full owners. After over 1-year of implementation since April 2002, renewable systems have been installed in 94 barangays, while installation is still ongoing in additional 59 barangays. In all the target barangays, livelihood opportunities have already been identified and skills development is being undertaken. Winrock's major sources of international financial support include, among others, (i) multilateral financial institutions such as the World Bank and ADB; (ii) governments, foundations, and/or international NGOs of Denmark, Netherlands, and United States; and (iii) United Nations agencies including UN Foundation. The major local financial sources in the Philippines include, among others, the DOE, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), and the Department of Agriculture (DA). For the year 2002, Winrock had total net assets amounting to $74,642,436, and generated a total revenue of $39,000,275.
13 10 2. Risks Affecting Grant Implementation Type of Risk Brief Description Measure to Mitigate the Risk Institutional The scheduled national election in mid- DOE underwent an institutional 2004 and consequent likely reshuffling reorganization in 2002 and dedicated of government agencies that may result an Electric Power Industry in undesirable delays in project Management Bureau (EPIMB) to implementation ensure proper implementation of missionary electrification. The relatively stable positioning of the working-level staff will ensure continuity of project implementation. Governance Political will and commitment of national government and LGUs to support the JFPR Project Uneasiness of individuals and residents working with NGOs Limited community understanding that may affect the effective mobilization and organization of residents in the area Duplication and overlapping of functions among LGUs, communities, and NGOs Transparency and accountability of the implementing agency in undertaking the JFPR Project Effectiveness and efficiency of the implementing agency in implementing the JFPR Project Level of acceptance and participation of household beneficiaries that may not be strong enough in the initial stages of Foster government, particularly LGUs, participation in project design, preparation, and implementation, and encourage their contribution Good track record of the implementing agency working in the subproject areas, and its effectiveness in communicating with local residents Engage communities in project design, preparation, and implementation for a sense of ownership Clearly defined project organizational structure and cooperation of all parties Regular reviews and monitoring of project progress and performance Approval of annual work programs and financial plans by Project Steering Committee. Submission of monthly financial reports, annual audited financial reports, quarterly progress reports, and semiannual/ annual project review reports. Review of accomplishment performance Set up of Project Steering Committee and Project Advisory Committee that will advise and guide the project implementation unit for efficient and effective project implementation Engage communities, particularly targeted beneficiaries, in project design, preparation, and
14 11 Infrastructure project implementation, particularly during rainy season Bad road condition may delay transport of equipment and machineries Peace and order situation implementation for a sense of ownership Develop local resources that can be used as alternatives Encourage local volunteers in the delivery and transport of hardware Central and local governments assured security stability in the project area. JFPR appraisal mission further verified through field visits. The implementing agency s experience in Mindanao attests to its credibility in mitigating unexpected situations related to peace and order. 3. Incremental ADB Costs Component Incremental Bank Cost Amount requested $75,000 Justification While the JFPR Project is linked to the counterpart loan (Loan 1662-PHI), the nature of implementation is different, and the project areas are not necessarily bound to the same geographic areas (the counterpart loan is a Program Loan, and is managed from the capital Manila, while the proposed JFPR project is located in Negros Occidental, an island province). The incremental costs are deemed necessary to cover (i) a staff consultant in the inception phase to expedite project start (3 person-months), and (ii) a JFPR liaison officer during project implementation to assist in coordinating and monitoring (10 person-months intermittently over 4 years). Type of work to be rendered by ADB A staff consultant is to be hired by ADB under ADB s Guidelines on the Use of Consultants in the inception phase, to assist the responsible project officer in (i) developing a project implementation manual (PIM); (ii) developing a work plan and implementation schedule; (iii) setting up the project implementation unit (PIU) based in Negros Occidental Province; (iv) guiding the implementing agency and the targeted community based organizations and groups in familiarization with relevant ADB guidelines and procedures; and (v) conducting consultation and information workshops. A JFPR liaison officer is to be hired by ADB under ADB s Guidelines on the Use of Consultants during the project implementation period, to assist the implementing agency in facilitating community participation and NGO collaboration following the relevant ADB guidelines and procedures, and assist the responsible ADB project officer in (i) coordinating
15 12 project implementation among ADB, DOE, and PIU; (ii) monitoring project performance; (iii) supervising implementation progress; (iv) reviewing the project progress; and (v) undertaking semiannual/ annual review missions with ADB and DOE. The ADB project officer, in collaboration with DOE, will conduct the JFPR inception mission byaround 3 months after the Project starts. JFPR annual review missions will be conducted by the ADB project officer, in collaboration with DOE. 4.

25 22 Appendix 3 FUND FLOW ARRANGEMENTS To facilitate day-to-day local expenditures of the JFPR Project, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) will channel the JFPR funds directly to a JFPR imprest account, which will be opened and maintained by the project implementation unit (PIU) in Bacolod City, Negros Occidental, at a bank endorsed by the Department of Energy (DOE) and acceptable to ADB. DOE and DOF will be kept informed by the PIU about all transactions and will receive copies of all financial statements and audit reports. The imprest account, which will be managed by the PIU on the principles of cosignatory arrangement with the chairman of the Project Steering Committee (PSC), will be based initially on the first 6-month activity plan and related budget, and afterwards on the approved annual work plan and budget. ADB will initially channel $100,000 to the imprest account as advance for day-to-day project implementation during the inception period, and will replenish the funds every 3-6 months, based on replenishment requests from the PIU through DOE and in accordance with ADB s statement of expenditures procedure. The replenishment will be based on the fund release criteria to be specified in the project implementation manual (PIM), which will be prepared after project approval, and consistent with the target implementation schedule. The statement of expenditures procedure will apply for all payments and transactions under $10,000 to ensure speedy project implementation. Detailed implementation arrangements, such as the flow, replenishment, and administrative procedures, will be established by ADB and the Government through the JFPR Letter of Agreement, and detailed in the PIM. The schematic fund flow for the Project is shown in Figure A2. Figure A2.
