The first disbursement was made in September 2019, signifying an important milestone. The WB team was pleased to note the contract signing in the presence of the Honorable Chief Minister for the Distributed Solar Building Survey and Household Energy Survey relating to Components 2 and 3 respectively, an important milestone for the project. The WB team also participated in kick-off meetings with both consultancy firms, a private sector consultation workshop opened by the Minister for Energy and the Secretary, visited the proposed site in Jamshoro District in relation to Component 1, carried out visits to three prospective sites for installation of distributed solar in Karachi in relation to Component 2, and held a number of other meetings. The team notes that despite substantial progress on many fronts, the full- 12/11/2019 Page 1 of 6 The World Bank Implementation Status & Results Report Sindh Solar Energy Project (P159712) time Project Management Unit (PMU) is still not in place, but has received assurances that this process will be completed very soon. It is essential for the speedy implementation of the project for the eight selected PMU staff to be appointed, for the remaining four unfilled posts to be re- advertised, and for the move to dedicated office space to be completed. The Transaction Advisor relating to Component 1 is expected to be under contract in a matter of days, enabling work to start on the first 50 MW site. Sindh Energy Department is now considering options for the remaining 350 MW to be facilitated under the project, including development of a solar park. A number of other critical procurement activities are ongoing or about to start, not least the procurement of a firm for "design, supply, install and operation" of around 1 MW of distributed solar under Component 2. The intention is to run an accelerated procurement process for this initial 1 MW at a single site, with the target of having a functioning solar system installed on at least one building by May 2020. Procurement of the remaining 19 MW of capacity would proceed in parallel.
