This developmental objective is to be achieved by: (a) implementinga WAPP Cooperation Agreement to facilitate enhanced cross-border power exchanges between the four concerned Transmission System Operators (TSOs), namely CEB, CIE, NEPA and VU; and (b) establishing and fully deploying the cross-border electricity transfer capabilities of the proposed 330kV WAPP Coastal Transmission Backbone. losure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized Outcomes The expected outcomes include: 1. Increasing cross-border electricity trade between WAPP "Zone A" Coastal States; 2. Reductions in power transfer losses in the principal transmission networks of the WAPP "Zone A" coastal states; 3. More cost efficient coverage of peak power demand through economy power exchanges between WAPP "Zone A" coastal states. The WAPP APL 1 project would be considered successful if it provides ample capacity for unconstrained cross-border electricity trade between the five ECOWAS Member States for up to at least Has the Project Development Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project? Yes No Page 1 of 5

Although this line alone cannot meet the initial objective of the project, to increase cross-border power transfer capability, the energization of the T-line has reduced the need for reactive power in the Ghana power system and has improved voltage levels and supply to greater Accra. The SCADA/EMS upgrading component has been completed and equipment installation in the new Gridco control centre was finished in February The expected outcome of this component is to improve monitoring and control of power exchanges in the WAPP system. The upgrade of the switchyards of Akosombo generation station and Volta substation is virtually completed. Delays have been experienced due to inability of the contractor to work at a sustained pace since the necessary outages were difficult to arrange at a time of national load shedding. The estimated completion date is June A small undisbursed balance of about US$1m is expected at the time of Credit closing (30 June 2013). The project completion report will be prepared once the remaining segments of the 330kV coastal backbone to Nigeria have been completed under Phase 2 of this APL.

5 Key Decisions Regarding Implementation A project restructuring is underway to reallocate the loan proceeds to finance outstanding cash compensation to project affected persons (PAPs) along the Aboadze-Volta 330 kv transmission line, and to revise the results framework to introduce new intermediate indicators that would capture benefits of the completed Ghana section of the Coastal Backbone.
