B. Project Objectives The objective of the EU/IPA Energy Sector Technical Assistance Program is the achievement of a secure, liberal and transparent Turkish energy market in line with the EU Acquis and Europe 2020 energy sustainability targets. The Phase 1 Project is focused on the natural gas market, renewable energy and energy efficiency - areas 2 and 4 on the five-point EU-Turkey energy agenda. The objective of the Phase 2 Project is to develop the administrative and technical capacity of relevant institutions in the areas of energy efficiency, electricity and gas market, and long-term energy planning and modelling - areas 1, 2, and 4 on the five-point EU-Turkey energy agenda. C. Project Description Public Disclosure Copy The following components have been formulated for the IPA 2013 program and would be supported under the EU/IPA-financed WB-administered trust fund for the Phase 2 Project: I. Energy Efficiency - review of the network investment plans of TEIAS and BOTAS and energy efficiency of selected power plants of EUAS and feasibility studies of projects to improve energy efficiency in electricity transmission and generation and gas transmission (in TEIAS and BOTAS networks and EUAS generation plants); II. Electricity and Gas Market Development - continuation of work on electricity and gas market development from the Phase 1 Project and from other projects/programs including those supported by the Bank under TEIAS investment projects, the ESES DPL series and the energy component of the ongoing Shared Growth DPL series; III. Long-term Energy Scenarios, Capacity Building and Establishment of an Energy Data Center - under the Phase 1 Project MENR's statistics and energy planning functions will be reviewed and gaps and needs will be defined. Based on the findings and recommendation, under the Phase 2 Project planning and forecasting models will be procured and used for long term energy planning. This component will enable MENR to collect all energy related data in one center and provide capacity building to develop long-term energy scenarios; and IV. Visibility and Public Awareness - awareness raising among stakeholders through the organization of fora, seminars and workshops and media awareness campaigns about EU’s energy objectives and strategies particularly in energy efficiency and renewable energy. As is the case with the Phase 1 Project, the Phase 2 Project will be established as a free-standing, single donor, hybrid (Bank and Recipient-Executed) Trust Fund. D. Project location and salient physical characteristics relevant to the safeguard Public Disclosure Copy analysis (if known) This is a technical assistance project and the tasks will be carried out in Turkey - mostly in Ankara in the offices of Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources (MENR) and other participating agencies. The project does not foresee any activity which will have a footprint. E. Borrowers Institutional Capacity for Safeguard Policies The main counterpart of the project will be MENR. There will be consultancy services provided to MENR with the TA sources. In the terms of references of the consultants the WB operational policies on safeguards will be mentioned and the outputs of the consultants will be expected to be in line with them. F. Environmental and Social Safeguards Specialists on the Team Zeynep Durnev Darendeliler (GSURR) Esra Arikan (GENDR) II. SAFEGUARD POLICIES THAT MIGHT APPLY Safeguard Policies Triggered? Explanation (Optional) Environmental Assessment OP/ Yes The environmental category of the project is BP 4.01 expected to be set as B, in view of the fact that feasibility studies of projects to improve the efficiency of electricity transmission and generation and gas transmission will be Public Disclosure Copy prepared under the energy efficiency component of the project. The consultants’ terms of reference will specify that they will carry out their analysis and prepare the needs assessments and feasibility reports with reference to WB’s safeguards policies including 4.01 on Environmental Impact Assessment and 4.12 on Involuntary Resettlement. However, the final specification of the Environmental Assessment documents for the possible subsequent implementation projects will depend on the finance source selected for the actual implementation projects. The scope of the Phase 2 Project includes awareness building fora, seminars and workshops on various aspects of the Project. These will be organized by MENR with the assistance of consultants it will engage under the Project. The Bank will use the opportunity provided by these events to present on the environmental and social aspects of energy development, including Bank work on hydro and wind and social impacts of electricity distribution privatization.
