1.0 Introduction 1. The Government of India and Government of Assam have requested Asian Development Bank (ADB) to provideUS$200 million loan funding via a Multi-tranche Financing Facility (MFF) to support continued investment in power sector in the state of Assam. 2. The project is implemented in 3 Tranches viz. Tranche 1, Tranche 2 and Tranche 3. The original Loan Agreement (LOAN NUMBER 2592 - IND) for Tranche 1 was signed on 15February 2010 between Government of India and Asian Development Bank (ADB). While the Loan Agreement (LOAN NUMBER 2677 - IND) for Tranche 2 was signed on 17 January 2011 and Loan Agreement (LOAN NUMBER 2800 - IND) for Tranche 3 was signed on 27 February2012 between Government of India and ADB. 3. As per the original Loan Agreement ADB has agreed to make to the Government of India, GOI (Borrower) the loan on the terms and conditions set forth in the Loan Agreement, but only on the condition that the proceeds of the Loan be made available to the State and through the State (Government of Assam, GOA) to Assam State Electricity Board (ASEB). ASEB was the Executing Agency (EA) for all the three tranches. The Borrower in its letter of 11th June 2014has informed ADB of the dissolution of erstwhile EA for the Projects i.e., the ASEB and its place of its successive entities namely the Assam Power Generation Corporation Limited (APGCL), Assam Electricity Grid Corporation Limited (AEGCL) and Assam Power Distribution Company (APDCL). The Borrower further requested ADB to accordingly make the relevant change in the EAs as AEGCL for Tranche 1 and 2, and APDCL for Tranche 3. ADBhas approved the request and communicated to Department of Economic Affairs (DEA), Ministry of Finance, GOI on 5th August 2014 for Amendment related to Minor Change inMFF. 4. Now, as per the amendment Government of Assam (GOA) and Assam Electricity Grid Corporation Ltd. (AEGCL) are the Executing Agencies (EA) and Assam Electricity Grid Corporation Ltd. (AEGCL) is the Implementing Agency (IA) for Tranche 1 and Tranche 2.While Government of Assam (GOA) and Assam Power Distribution Company Ltd. (APDCL) are the Executing Agencies (EA) and Assam Power Distribution Company Ltd. (APDCL) is the Implementing Agency (IA) for Tranche 3. 5. The power sector investments are necessary to support continued investment in the state power sector, which is necessary for economic growth and poverty reduction. The MFF will partly finance the expansion and augmentation of the transmission and distribution (T&D) networks. The proposed investments are necessary to: (i) facilitate increased power transfers to accommodate increased demand and economic growth; (ii) improve supply-side energy efficiency by system de-bottlenecking and reducing technical losses; (iii) reduce the intensity of greenhouse gas (GHG) and other emissions via improved system efficiency; (iv) support expanded private sector participation in distribution system operations and other energy services; and (v) facilitate poverty reduction via improved electricity services and economic growth. 6. These environmental safeguard monitoring report provides information pertaining to Tranche 2 for the period January 2016 to June 2016. 1.1 Brief Project Description 7.
