| Description | The TA aims at preparing a feasibility study for the ensuing project that will further support sustainable development of the power sector of Sri Lanka in line with the national and sector priorities, and ADB's CPS (2009-2011). | ||||
| Project Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy | The proposed TA and ensuing project are consistent with Sri Lanka's national and sector priorities. The 2006 10-Year Development Framework of Sri Lanka, focusing on infrastructure development to accelerate economic growth and narrow regional disparities, and the National Energy Policy and Strategies (NEPS), a ten year plan for the energy sector, envision sustainable development of energy resources, conversion facilities and delivery systems to enable access to and use of energy services by the entire population, and the safe, reliable delivery of such energy services at a competitive price. As such, the NEPS provides a comprehensive road map for the sector, includes a long-term investment program and specific policy and reform measures, and aims to (i) supply electricity to 86% of households by 2010 and 98% by 2016, and (ii) ensure electricity tariffs are competitive with those in other countries and sufficient for utilities to be viable. The Government's main goals are to improve the quantity, quality, and cost of service delivery, and to increase electricity connections in rural areas. The proposed TA and ensuing project are also consistent with ADB's Sri Lanka Country Partnership Strategy (CPS). To help the Government achieve the above-mentioned main goals, CPS focuses, among others, on (i) mitigating climate change through financing individual clean energy projects, including small and medium-scale hydro, (ii) funding transmission projects to remove grid constraints on absorbing additional capacity from renewable energy sources and to achieve energy-efficiency improvements through strengthening of the transmission network, and (iii) improving connectivity for the poor. |
||||
| Impact | The anticipated impact of the TA (and outcome of the ensuing loan) is widening the access to electricity services from 80% (2008) to 98% of the national population by 2016. The TA will contribute to ensuring a sustainable, cleaner, affordable and reliable power supply in the country to meet a growing demand. | ||||
| Project Outcome | |
|---|---|
| Description of Outcome | The outcome of the TA is to develop a least-cost project design and comprehensive feasibility studies agreed between the Government of Sri Lanka and ADB for the project components. |
| Progress Toward Outcome | |
| Implementation Progress | |
| Description of Project Outputs | The output of the PPTA will include a feasibility report for the following components to prepare the ensuing project: (i) transmission suystem strengthening to further improve its energy efficiency and enable rural electrification; (ii) rural distribution system improvement in the Eastern Province and possibly other lagging regions to expand access for the poor and rural household connection; and (iii) energy efficiency and renewable energy component. |
