I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION

A. Objectives, Rationale and Scope

1. Objectives

1. The Project was designed to provide additional power generation capacityto meet the projected demand of the power system of Myaninar from 1983/84. Itwas determined to be the least-cost alternative and the only available hydro-resource capable of implementation by the set deadline, taking into considerationthe status of preparedness of other potential hydro schemes. The Project wasalso intended to provide improved reliability of power supply to the Nandalayarea, which was supplied solely by the Lawpita hydropower station through a 400km transmission line. This line passes through hilly and forest areas and isexposed to frequent damage, especially during the rainy season.

2. Rationale

2. The Government's Third Four-Year Plan (FY1978/79-1981/82) gave highpriority to the construction of power generation and transmission facilities.The Project, which is the power component of the Sedawgyi Multi-PurposeDevelopment Scheme, is an integral part of EPC's power development plan, and wasconsidered important for the economic and social development of the Project areaand also for contributing to the development needs of the country's power systembeyond 1983/84.

3. The Project was designed to permit the generation of power at a lowercost when compared with meeting the same demand through the construction ofalternative diesel or oil-fired thermal power stations. It was also to providea much needed power supply to the Mandalay area, which was considered essentialto support the steady growth of industrialization in the area and for meetingthe considerable suppressed demand of consumers for domestic, commercial,industrial and other purposes.

3. Scope

4. The Project primarily consisted of the construction of a hydropowerstation of 25 MW (2 x 12.5 MW) capacity at the toe of the Sedawgyi Dam, on theright bank of the Chaungmagyi River, complete with an associated step-upsubstation (See Map 1). The Project also included the construction of a 132 kVsingle-circuit transmission line from the power station to the existing Mandalaysubstation; distribution equipment for reinforcement of the distribution systemin Mandalay; and the provision of office equipment, accounting machines andconsulting services.

B. Implementation Arrangements

1. Financing

5. The Government approached the Bank and the OPEC Special Fund (OSF)to finance the major part of the foreign exchange cost of the Project. OSF agreedto co-finance $2.0 million needed to meet part of the foreign exchange cost ofthe Project with the Bank.

Page 12: R ES I RICT ED PCR : MYA 12004 ASIAN DEVELOPMENT BANK … · PCR : MYA 12004 ASIAN DEVELOPMENT BANK se for PROJECT COMPLETION REPORT OF THE SEDAWGYI HYDROPOWER PROJECT [LOAN NO. 395

6. The Bank's loan of $14.6 million from the Special Funds resourceswas granted for a period of 40 years, including a grace period of 10 years, andwith a service charge of 1 per cent per annum. The Borrower was the Union ofMyanmar. The Borrower agreed to provide the Electric Power Corporation (EPC)the local currency funds needed for the Project, facilities, services, land andother resources on a timely basis and as required to ensure the successfulcompletion of the Project.

7. The proceeds of the loan were relent to EPC, which was the majorExecuting Agency, 1/ at a 6 per cent rate of interest and a 25 years repaymentperiod, including a grace period of 5 years.

2. Consulting Service

8. The Irrigation Department (ID) 2/ was responsible for the designand construction supervision of the civil works for the dam and the power stationfoundation. ID engaged an Indian firm of consultants to provide the design andconstruction supervision services following the Bank's Guidelines on the Use ofConsultants. EPC which was responsible for the construction of the power stationengaged the same consultants to: (i) prepare designs and bid documents for theelectrical and mechanical works in the power station and substation; (ii)evaluate bids; and (iii) provide engineering supervision and technical assistanceduring construction, equipment installation and commissioning tests at the worksite. The design and construction of the transmission lines and distributionsystem were undertaken by EPC and no consulting services were involved.

3. Procurement

9. The Electric Power Corporation was responsible for the procurementof all goods and services for the Project, with the exception of the civil worksfor the power station, which was undertaken by ID on force account. Procurementof goods financed out of the loan was undertaken in accordance with the Bank'sGuidelines for Procurement. Wherever feasible, bid packages were grouped intoa size appropriate for international competitive bidding and each contractestimated to cost $150,000 equivalent, or more, was awarded on the basis ofinternational competitive bidding. Contracts involving less than $150,000equivalent were awarded on the basis of international shopping.

4. Project Implementation Organization

10. The Electric Power Corporation was primarily responsible forimplementation of the Project excepting the civil works of the power station,which were constructed by ID along with the construction of the Sedawgyi damunder the Irrigation Project.

1/ The funds required by Irrigation Department (ID) - the other Executing Agency- for power station civil works were provided by the Government throughbudgetary allocation.

2/ Loan Agreement, Side Letter No. 4, para 3 of Loan No. 266-BUR(SF): SedawgyiMultipurpose Dam and Irrigation Project, approved in June 1976.

11. In order to ensure coordination of action between EPC, ID and otherGovernment agencies involved in the implementation of the Multi-Purpose Scheme,a high-level Technical Implementation Committee ( TIC )!! was established. Sincethe Project and the Irrigation Project were interrelated, and because themajority of works at the Sedawgyi Dam were being undertaken by ID on forceaccount, the original organization for Project implementation under theIrrigation Project was essentially continued with respect to the Project.Accordingly, ID retained responsibility for both Projects, and directresponsibility for construction of the civil works at the dam, includingresponsibility for construction of the civil works for the power station. Forthis purpose, a Project Director had been appointed by ID. To ensuresatisfactory implementation of the power station civil works by ID however, EPCprovided experienced engineers at the Project site to assist, coordinate andsupervise such works.

12. The Electric Power Corporation was directly responsible for themechanical and electrical works at the power station including the installationof the generating plant and equipment and the step-up substation (with theassistance and under the supervision of the equipment suppliers), theconstruction of the transmission line, and the augmentation of the distributionfacilities at Mandalay. EPC established a Project Office 2/ at the Project site,headed by a full-time Project Manager. The Project Manager had directresponsibility for those components of the Project for which EPC was responsibleand was assisted by a number of full-time qualified staff.

1/ Membership of the TIC comprised eight Director Generals of GovernmentDepartments and four Managing Directors of Government corporations andenterprises, including EPC.

II. PROJECT HISTORY

A. Preparation and Appraisal

1. Preparation

13. The Sedawgyi Hydropower Project is an integral part of the SedawgyiMulti-Purpose Development Scheme which envisioned irrigation, agriculture, watersupply and power development, utilizing the waters of the Chaungmagyi River byconstruction of a storage dam and related facilities. The preparatory work forthe Multi-Purpose Scheme was carried out in 1969 by a team of Russian engineers.This was updated in 1974 by the Irrigation Department (ID) within the Ministryof Agriculture and Forests (MAF). Following a Government request for Bankfinancing, a Fact-Finding Mission to Myanmar in early 1975 concluded that whilethe Scheme was technically sound and economically viable, the designs and costestimates required review. Accordingly, a technical assistance grant wasapproved in April 1975 1/ for such a review by a consulting firm.

14. The review was completed by the Consultants in August 1975 andtheir recommendations - which included changes in the layout and design of thedam and spillway, design of the power station and assessment of the Irrigationand power benefits - were accepted by the Government and the Bank. These formedthe basis for appraisal of the Multi-Purpose Scheme by the Bank in September1975. At that time, the Government requested Bank financing for the entireforeign currency requirements of the Scheme. However, in view of the size offinancing required in relation to the Bank's lending for Myanmar for that year,Bank financing was restricted to the foreign currency cost of the irrigation andagricultural components of the Scheme. A loan of $45.9 million was approved bythe Bank on 22 June 1976 for the Sedawgyi Multi-Purpose Dam and IrrigationProject,2/ which included the dam, powerhouse foundation, irrigation works andagricultural development. It was the Government's intention at that time to seekfinancing for the power component of the Multi-Purpose Scheme - which constitutesthe SedawgyI Hydropower Proj ect3/ from other sources and to undertake itsconstruction simultaneously with the construction of the dam.

2.

15. Despite its efforts, the Government was not able to obtainassistance from multilateral or bilateral sources for the entire foreign currencyfinancing needed for the Project. In April 1978, the Government requested theBank to consider financing the hydropower component of the Project, which wasincluded in the Third Four-Year Plan (FY1978/79 to FY1981/82) a d was accordedthe highest priority. In response to this request, a Fact-Finding Missionvisited Myanmar from 24 October to 3 November 1978 and determined that theProject was well suited for Bank financing but some changes in the scope and

B. Implementation

16. The proposed Bank loan of $14.6 million was approved by the Bankon 24 April 1979. Loan signing took place on 19 June 1979. The loan becameeffective on 2 October 1979 which was about two weeks after the due date of 17September 1979 provided for in the Loan Agreement.

17. Following the approval of the Bank loan, the Project's co-financier,the OPEC Special Funds (OSF) approved a loan (Opec Loan 135-P) for $2.00 millionon 25 June 1979. The Loan Agreement was signed on 27 July 1979.

18. The promising pace of this start was unfortunately not sustainedand a four-year period of relative inactivity followed before the award, on 26May 1983, of the first contract (Lot I) for major plant and equipment coveringthe turbine generator and auxiliaries.

19. The original loan closing date was set for 30 June 1984 and as itbecame obvious that the Project could not be completed before that date, theGovernment applied on 22 March 1984 for the loan closing date to be extended bytwo years to 30 June 1986.

20. Another two years of painfully slow progress followed the firstaward of contract and the final major contract (Lot II) for electrical equipmentfor substations was awarded only on 5 June 1985. In the meantime the closingdate of the loan was extended for the second time at the request of the Borrowerto 31 December 1987.

21. On 7 December 1987 the Bank again extended the closing date of theloan at the request of the Borrower for the third and final time to 30 June 1988,making this loan one of the longest under implementation (nine years and twomonths from loan approval and eight years nine months from loan effectiveness).In spite of the extended loan closing, the Project was in fact not physicallycompleted before the last loan closing date of 30 June 1988.

22. Physical completion was achieved only a year later in June 1989 butthe project account was closed with the final disbursement on 11 July 1988through the expediency of payment of retention monies due to contractors againstirrevocable Bank guarantees. A chronology of events is shown in Appendix 1.

23. The final loan amount disbursed was $14,009,891 and the undisbursedbalance of $590,109 was cancelled.

1/ Two-and-a-half years after Loan 266-BUR(SF) was approved for the SedawgyiMultipurpose and Irrigation Project.

III. EVALUATION OF IMPLEMENTATION

A. Project Coniponents

24. The Project consisted of : -(1) Construction of a hydropower station of 25 MW (2 x 12.5 MW) capacity at

the toe of the Sedawgyi Dam, on the right bank of the Chaunginagyi River;(ii) Construction of an 11 kV to 132 kV step-up substation (switchyard);(iii) Construction of a 65 km long, 132 kV single- circuit transmission line

from the power station to the existing Mandalay substation;(iv) Provision of distribution equipment for reinforcement of the distribution

system in Mandalay; and(v) Provision of office equipment, accounting machines and consulting

services.

25. The Project was implemented without any substantial change inproject components, except for the deletion of the electronic data processingsystem. Appendix 2 shows the salient technical features of the Project as built.Figure 1 of Appendix 3 shows the general layout of the dam and appurtenances,while Figure 2 shows a cross section of the power house.

B. Project Costs

26. According to EPC's record the total cost of the Project was$26,241,000 made up of $15,748,000 in foreign currency costs and $10,493,000 inlocal currency costs 1/, well within and close to the appraisal estimates of$28,500,000, $16,600,000 and $11,900,000 respectively. EPC however did notinclude an amount of 21,789,000 Kyats (equivalent to $2,889,000) local costexpended by ID in undertaking the civil works for the power station. If thisamount is taken into account, the local cost would increase to $13,382,000 andthe total cost to $29,130,000 which represents a cost overrun of 2.21 per cent.

27. A detailed comparison of the appraisal cost estimates against theactual expenditures is shown in Appendix 4. It will be seen that the actual costof individual items did not tally very well with the appraisal estimates. Theestimated costs of civil works, switchyard, and distribution equipment weresubstantially exceeded. Custom duties and taxes for the power station componentand the cost of the transmission line were however very much below appraisalestimates.

28. Overall, the actual total project cost agrees ell with theappraisal estimate in spite of the substantial delay in project implementation.The inferences are that the appraisal estimate was very much on the high sideand had the Project been implemented on schedule there would have been asubstantial cost underrun.

C. Project Schedule

30. The Sedawgyi Hydropower Project [Loan 395-BUR(SF)] is an integralpart of the Sedawgyi Multi-Purpose Development Scheme which combines the SedawgyiMulti-Purpose Dam and Irrigation Project (Loan 266-BUR(SF)] as the complementarycomponent. The project schedule of one is interwoven with the other and inparticular the construction progress of the power station component is entirelydependent on the construction progress of the dam and the power stationfoundation. In reviewing the construction progress of the Project, it isnecessary therefore to go back to review the construction progress of the damin order to understand how the latter affected the schedule.

31. Appendix 5 shows part of the implementation schedule 1/ of Loan 266-BUR(SF) superimposed on that of Loan 395-BUR(SF) [The Project]. An examinationof the schedule of Loan 266-BUR(SF) will show the following significant initialdelays.

DATES Delay inActivity Projected Actual Months

1. Consultants commence Nov 76 Nov 77 12work

2. Award of contract for Dec 76 Jul 78 19construction equipment

3. Commencement of Nov 77 Feb 79 16construction of dam

32. The delays in the engagement of consultants and the procurement ofconstruction equipment were largely due to ID's lack of experience in therecruitment of international consultants, as well as lengthy and cumbersomeGovernment procedures in approving procurement.

33. Apart from the initial delays, during the preparation of detaildesigns based on data from extensive geological investigations and topographicalmapping carried out after appraisal, the consultants found it necessary topropose certain essential major design changes2/ involving the height andcomposition of the main dam as well as realignment of its axis. Changes werealso necessary to the design of the spillway, the number of saddle dams and thelocation and elevation of the power station with consequent increase in thelength and diameter of the penstocks. These changes, which resulted in asubstantial increase in the quantities of works and the need for additionalconstruction equipment, contributed to the delay in finalizing designs as wellas in commencement and progression of construction works. As a result of thesedelays commencement of work on the dam was delayed by about 16 months and workon the power station foundation did not start until January 1981.

34. The same pattern of initial delay and inordinately lengthyprocurement procedure was also evident under Loan 395- BUR(SF). Although theBank allowed the same consultants for Loan 266-BUR(SF) to be engaged for the

Project; nonetheless the consultancy contract was signed only in March 1980 about9 months behind the original target of June 1979.

35. In the meantime a country-wide shortage of construction materialsincluding diesel fuel, cement and reinforcing steel, occurred between 1980 and1984. Preference for supply of whatever limited quantities of such materialsavailable was given to the contractor of another dam project 1/ who could payforeign exchange for such materials. This had the debilitating effect of slowingdown construction progress on the Sedawgyi dam and stretching out theconstruction period beyond all estimates made during appraisal. Thus, the Multi-Purpose Scheme which envisioned a construction period of 7 years (June 1976 -June 1983) was in fact not completed until March 1988 over a construction periodof nearly 12 years.

36. Because of the slow progress on the construction of the dam andpower station, EPC appeared to have also correspondingly slowed down theimplementation of the power component of the Project. Thus the tender documentsfor Lot I: Electrical and Mechanical Equipment for Power Station were notfinalized and issued until 27 January 1982 some 22 months after the appointmentof consultants and the contract was not awarded until another 16 months lateron 26 May 1983. On the average tenders were floated some three years behindschedule and took 18 months from the start to award of contract.

37. At the beginning of 1986, during the course of construction of thepower station and the erection of the water turbine, a delay of 7 to 8 monthswas occasioned by an error in erection planning on the part of the consultants.The construction of the power house could not proceed until the spiral casingof the water turbine was welded because of inadequate spacing between the spiralcasing and the powerhouse floor beams. The seriousness of this delay wassomewhat mitigated by the fact that the construction of the dam itself was wellbehind schedule and was not completed until some two and a half years later InMarch 1988.

38. Two events which followed in late 1987 and 1988 did have a seriousimpact on the timely completion of the power plant. First, in December 1987,during the final stage of erection of the switchyard equipment, it was discoveredthat all eight insulator bushings of the step-up transformers had cracked duringtransit. Replacements took eight months to arrive. When the replacementbushings were fitted and the power plant finally made ready for testing andcommissioning, the peace and order situation in Myanmar deteriorated. Six monthswere lost before the testing and commissioning program could be resumed in March1989.

D. Engagement of Consultants and Procurement of Goods & Services

1. Engagement of Consultants

39. In consideration of: (i) the close coordination required betweenthe civil and electrical/mechanical works in the power station; (ii) theefficiency and economy in Project implementation which would be achieved; and(iii) the delay in Project implementation which would otherwise occur if theconstruction of power station civil works were not undertaken simultaneously withthe civil works of the Irrigation Project, the Government and EPC proposed to

retain the same firm of consultants which had been engaged for the ongoingIrrigation Project to provide the services for the hydropower component as well.

40. The Bank approved this proposal and accordingly a contract with theconsultants was negotiated and signed on 3 March 1980. The use of the sameconsultants for the two complementary projects which were so intimately relatedwas not only desirable but necessary and probably represents one of the fewpositive features of project formulation.

41. The consultants were to provide the following services:(i) Preparation of specifications and tender documents and rendering

assistance in finalizing contract awards for procurement of allelectrical and mechanical equipment;

(ii) Preparation of detail designs and construction drawings, and(iii) Provision of construction supervision and assistance in all technical

matters.

2. Procurement of Goods and Services

42. Goods and services under the Project were procured by internationalcompetitive bidding under five groups viz:-

1. Lot 1 - Electrical and Mechanical Works for the Power Station. ThisContract, awarded to a contractor from Japan, was for the supply,erection, supervision and commissioning of power station equipment.

2. Lot II - Substation Equipment and Installation.This Contract for supply, erection and testing of auxiliaryequipment for power station switchyard and Mandalay substation wasawarded to a contractor from the Federal Republic of Germany.

3. Materials for 132 kV Sedawgyi-Mandalay Transmission Line.Three contracts for the supply of:(i) lattice steel towers and accessories (ii) A.C.S.R. conductorsand accessories and (iii) insulators and accessories were awardedunder this group.

4. Distribution Equipment.Under this group three contracts were also awarded for the supplyof: (i) three complete substations (ii) underground cables andaccessories and (iii) overhead lines and accessories.

5. Office Equipment and Accounting Machines.This group resulted in eight relatively minor contracts for cashreceipting machines, drafting machine, instruments andstationery, and other office equipment.Details of these contracts are shown in Appendix 7.

43. The proposed acquisition of an electronic data processing systemwas abandoned due to the tendered price greatly exceeding the appraisal estimateand also because the Bank could not approve EPC's recommendation to award thecontract to the second lowest evaluated bidder.

E. Performance of Consultants/Contractors/Suppliers

1. Performance of Consultants

44. The Appraisal Mission estimated that the total man-months ofconsulting services required for the Project was 42, of which approximately halfwould be in the field and the other half in the home office.

Page 20: R ES I RICT ED PCR : MYA 12004 ASIAN DEVELOPMENT BANK … · PCR : MYA 12004 ASIAN DEVELOPMENT BANK se for PROJECT COMPLETION REPORT OF THE SEDAWGYI HYDROPOWER PROJECT [LOAN NO. 395

10

45. The consultancy services contract, eventually negotiated and signed,called for a total of 82 man-months, almost twice the number of man-monthsoriginally estimated. Due to the long delay in project implementation theconsultancy contract was revised in January 1986 to increase the man-monthprovision to 108, consisting of 64.5 man-months of home office services and 43.5man-months in the field.

46. Up to June 89 the number of man-months expended by the consultantswere 68.6 in the home office and 55.9 in the field making a total of 124.5.The cost was however kept within the value of the contract revised in January1986.

47. The detailed engineering designs of electrical and mechanical worksfor the power station, switchyard and related structures were carried out in theconsultants' home office in Delhi. For construction supervision and co-ordination services the consultants assigned a number of personnel to the sitefor various durations, as required, to render assistance to EPC's projectengineers. EPC reported some delays in the receipt of final design/drawings fromthe consultants' home office which, to some extent caused delays in the startof works at the power station, but this failure did not cause any overall delayin the completion of the Project. The error in the planning of construction ofthe water turbine spiral casing and the power house floor beam and columns (seepara 37) did however contribute to the overall delay. Except for these lapses,the consultants carried out their obligations under the terms of referencesatisfactorily and maintained good working relationship with the Executing Agencyand the contractors. The final documentation of the Project, prepared in fivevolumes by the consultant's field manager, was comprehensive and well done.

2. Performance of Contractors and Suppliers

48. Of the two major contracts, the contract for the manufacture,supply, erection and commissioning of the main power generating plant wasexecuted well and in accordance with the terms of the contract. The thoroughnessand care with which the contractor checked and cleaned out the system prior tocommissioning the power generating units were highly commendable.

49. In the case of the contract for the supply, installation and testingof equipment for the power station switchyard and the Mandalaysubstation, there were some delays in the supply of goods to match the executionof works at site, especially the replacement of the damaged transformer bushingswhich took an excessively long time to accomplish (see para 38).

50. Considering how badly the implementation of the Proje t was delayed,it is to the credit of all the contractors involved, especially the maincontractors, that they all honored their contractual obligations and contributedtowards bringing the Project to a successful, though belated, conclusion.

F. Conditions and Covenants

51. The Borrower and the Executing Agency have generally complied(albeit late in many cases) with most of the conditions and covenants, with theexception of two. The first concerns a convenant requiring the Borrower to causeEPC and the Irrigation Department to enter into an agreement acceptable to theBorrower and the Bank, prior to the commissioning of the power station, toprovide for the utilization of the water of the reservoir for irrigation andpower purposes, for the sharing of the costs of the operation and maintenanceof the dam and for the compensation by EPC to the Irrigation Department for a

Page 21: R ES I RICT ED PCR : MYA 12004 ASIAN DEVELOPMENT BANK … · PCR : MYA 12004 ASIAN DEVELOPMENT BANK se for PROJECT COMPLETION REPORT OF THE SEDAWGYI HYDROPOWER PROJECT [LOAN NO. 395

11

reasonable share of the construction cost of the dam. 1/ No such agreement hadbeen entered into. The Irrigation Department is currently bearing the fulloperation and maintenance costs of the dam and no decision has been taken, norlikely to be taken, on sharing the construction cost of the dam by EPC.

52. The second area of non-compliance 2/ was the inadequate tariff whichwas in force until November 1988. The level of tariff until that time providedless than one half the agreed level of self-financing of new investment and forFY1985/86 did not cover even the financing of debt service. In addition, thetariff studies as required by the Project Agreement, which were conducted by EPCprior to the tariff increases and structural changes in 1981 and 1988, were notentirely satisfactory in that they did not: i) incorporate progressive tariffsto encourage energy conservation; ii) give consideration to the marginal costof supply when setting the demand charge; and iii) provide a lifeline tariff forthe lowest level of consumers. The average tariff level was increased by 50per cent form K0.3 to K0.47 at the same time as the new tariff structure wasintroduced on 1 November 1988. (see Appendix 13). This new tariff level whichis about $0.07 at the official rate of exchange 3/ is projected as adequate tocover operating expenses, debt service and to finance about 24 per cent ofestimated investment during the next two years.

53. The status of compliance with the various loan covenants is givenin Appendix 8.

G. Disbursement

54. At appraisal it was envisaged that the loan amount of $14.6 millionwould be disbursed by the third quarter of 1983 over a period of about four anda half years. As it turned out, disbursement covered a period of about eightyears from the first quarter of 1983 to early 1989. Practically no disbursementwas made in the first five years between 1979 and 1983, apart from a small amountof some $62,500 to the consultants. The last Iisbursement was made on 11 July1988. The total amount disbursed was $14.01 million and the unutilized balanceof $0.59 million was cancelled. The portions of disbursements as envisagedduring appraisal are shown against actual in Appendix 9.

55. The manner in which the loan proceeds were allocated and the actualutilization under the various categories are shown in Appendix 10. It will benoted that the loan proceeds were reallocated once during the course of projectimplementation, on 22 July 1985, to better cater for the pattern of actualutilization.

H. Environmental Impacts

56. The construction and operation of the hydropower plant and itsassociated switchyard have had little, or no, impact on the environment. It isthe construction of the associated dam and the consequential creation of thereservoir which has the potential to cause environmental effects. The keyenvironmental aspects 4/ investigated by the PCR Mission on Loan 266 BUR(SF):Sedawgyi Multipurpose Dam and Irrigation Project were: (i) land use/erosion!sedimentation due to encroachment on watershed forests; (ii) fisheries

1/ Loan Agreement, Schedule 6, para 3.2/ Project Agreement, Schedule 1, paras 2 and 3.3/ Approximately $0.01 at the exchange rates in the parallel market.4/ Suggested for investigation by the Bank's Environmental Unit.

12

development and reduction of downstream fisheries; (iii) difficulties ofresettlement of farmers displaced from the reservoir; and (iv) soilsalinizationm, or water logging.

57. The PCR Mission on Loan 266-BUR(SF) reviewed these aspects with theofficials of the Government and was advised that: Ci) encroachment on thewatershed (and related impacts) was not a problem as the area had been designatedreserved forest; (ii) the impact on downstream fisheries was insignificant; and(iii) all displaced farmers from the reservoir were resettled in the Projectarea.

58. The Mission reviewed the design of the dam and appurtenances andfound that the dead storage of the reservoir had been carefully designed takinginto account the siltation over the life of the Project. Fishery developmentin the reservoir has started and fishing rights will be auctioned, which meansthat the reservoir fishery will be well managed. The Mission also found thatthere were no soil salinization or water logging problems.!! in summary, thePCR Mission for Loan 266-BUR(SF) concluded that any adverse impacts of the damand reservoir on the environment were relatively insignificant.2/

59. The other component of the Project that would have some impact onthe environment is the 132 kV transmission line from the power station toMandalay. This line covers a relatively short distance of 65 km and is strungacross relatively flat terrain which, for most of the way, is used foragricultural purposes, especially rice cultivation. No clearance of forest wasinvolved and the farmers are allowed to continue with their rice cultivationalong and under the power line and the towers. Thus no loss of livelihood 3/anda very minimum encroachment on natural systems were brought about by theconstruction of the transmission line.

60. The last component, reinforcement of the distribution system inMandalay, involves the augmentation of existing facilities in an urbanizedsetting. As such, even less encroachment on the environment has been caused bythe work undertaken.

I. Project Benefits

61. Unit No. 1 was put into commercial operation on 24 May 1989 and UnitNo. 2 on 12 June 1989. Both the units have been tested to ten per cent overloadand have performed very satisfactorily, without any problems, sincecommissioning.

62. The two units now consistently generate in excess £ 20 MW, mostof it being supplied via the 132 kV transmission line to the load centre inMandalay (see Map 2). Apart from supplying Mandalay, the power station alsosupplies about 1 MW to 1.5 MW via a 33 kV line to Shwebo, a township of about400,000 people located some 70 km north of Sedawgyi. In addition, two coloniesof about 450 families of ID and EPC employees engaged in the operation of thedam and the power station are also supplied with power by the Project.

1/ However, considering the time lag in the environmental effects/response ofsuch problems, further attention has to be paid to the environment around theProject area.

2/ Ref. para 74 of PCR on Loan 266-BUR(SF), October 1988.3/ In fact, the Project has provided employment as well as housing at the power

station for 76 local inhabitants.

Page 23: R ES I RICT ED PCR : MYA 12004 ASIAN DEVELOPMENT BANK … · PCR : MYA 12004 ASIAN DEVELOPMENT BANK se for PROJECT COMPLETION REPORT OF THE SEDAWGYI HYDROPOWER PROJECT [LOAN NO. 395

13

63. Appendix 11 is a summary of the operation record of the Sedawgyipower station for June 1989. It is significant to note that in spite of theirnewness the two generating units were in operation for 86.4 per cent of the time,giving a station plant factor of 56.7 per cent and a load factor of 48.8 percent. These are commendable figures, although it is too early to conclude fromone month's operating record whether the Project will consistently achieve theannual output and hence confer the benefits envisaged during appraisal.

64. However, on a qualitative basis, the commissioning of the Projecthas already brought about a number of discernable benefits as related in thefollowing paragraphs.

65. Mandalay formerly suffered from load shedding of 6 MW to 8 MW overthe evening peak period and the quality of supply in terms of frequency andvoltage regulation was poor. With the commissioning of the Sedawgyi plant, loadshedding has been eliminated and the quality of supply has vastly improved. TheSedawgyi units were able to operate on full load and supply Mandalay on theirown when the other source of supply to Mandalay, from the Thazi substation inthe south, was completely disrupted on the 12th and 15th of June 1989 due to amajor fault in the transmission system.

66. With the supply available from Sedawgyi, EPC has resumed consumerconnections from a waiting list of 43,000 consumers in Mandalay. It programmed4,200 new consumers for connection by the end of FY1990. Similarly it isenvisaged that the number of consumers given supply via the 33 kV Shwebo linewill shortly be increased from some 3,500 to 7,000 and ultimately 10,500.

67. It is also noted that another 132 kV transmission line is beingconstructed with Yugoslavian aid to supply about 10 NW to a gold mine at Kawlimsome 210 km north of Sedawgyi (See Map 2).

68. A financial internal rate of return has been recalculated by thePCR Mission for the Project at 12.7 per cent. (Appendix 12). This return isslightly less than the 13.6 per cent calculated at the time of appraisal. Thelower FIRR was mainly caused by the longer than expected construction period.No economic Intended rate of return has been calculated as the price distortionsincluded in the cost of the major local components i.e. cement, steel and fuel,over the twelve-year construction period, makes the use of the standardconversion factor impractical.i/

J. Performance of Borrower and Executing Agency

69. This Project suffered a serious Implementation delay of five years.The Executing Agency (EPC) was not responsible for the initial delays in theappointment of consultants and procurement of construction equipment for thecommencement of work on the dam and the power house foundation, which were theresponsibilities of the Irrigation Department (ID). However, EPC took an equallylong time to appoint its own consultants and was tardy in initiating tendersand deciding on award of contracts.

1/ The Standard Conversion factor used by the World Bank is 0.8.

Page 24: R ES I RICT ED PCR : MYA 12004 ASIAN DEVELOPMENT BANK … · PCR : MYA 12004 ASIAN DEVELOPMENT BANK se for PROJECT COMPLETION REPORT OF THE SEDAWGYI HYDROPOWER PROJECT [LOAN NO. 395

14

70. One of the main causes of the delay seemed to be the way the Projectwas managed from a centralized and relatively high level of the Borrower. TheExecuting Agencies appeared to have been subject to extremely cumbersome andtime-consuming approval procedures in their effort to implement the Project.Failure to take actions to avert the shortage of essential construction materialssuch as diesel fuel, cement and reinforcing steel dealt a severe blow to theprogress of the Project. Not only was import of these materials in short supplynot permitted by the Borrower; the greatly reduced/curtailed supplies availablein the country were diverted to another project for extraneous reasons. (Seepara 35).

71. The other major cause of delay was the construction of the dam byID on force account. Had the construction been contracted out on a competitivebasis there would have been a lot more incentive and a much greater sense ofurgency to complete the Project earlier.

72. The high-level Technical Implementation Committee (TIC) which wasset up to ensure co-ordination of action between EPC, ID and other Governmentagencies involved in the implementation of the Multipurpose Scheme appeared tohave been ineffectual even though its members were high level officials and wasreported to have met on no less than 44 occasions during the course of theProject.

73. Finally, the failure of EPC to check materials on arrival led tothe cracked insulators on the step up transformers remaining undetected forseveral months until the crucial last moment when it became impossible to avertthe delay involved in securing replacement. (See para 38).

74. Apart from the foregoing shortcomings the Project was executed bythe Executing Agencies with a high degree of technical competence as is evidentby the satisfactory operation of both the dam and the power plant sincecommissioning.

K. Performance of the Bank

75. The Appraisal Mission for Loan 395-BUR(SF) appraised the Projectin January 1979 more than two-and-a-half years after Loan 266-BUR(SF) wasapproved (on 22 June 1976) for the Sedawgyi Multipurpose Dam and IrrigationProject. At the time of appraisal of the Project, the Mission would have beenaware that there was a delay of 12 months in the appointment of consultants forLoan 266-BTJR(SF), a 19 months' delay in the award of contract for constructionequipment and, more significantly, the construction of the dam had not evenstarted when it was projected to have started more than a year nreviously, inNovember 1977. The Mission would certainly have known that the consultants forLoan 266-BUR(SF) had found it necessary to make major changes to the design ofthe dam and such changes would have obvious implications for the progress ofimplementation and the timely completion of the Project. In spite of all thesefacts, no attempt was made to change the project completion date of June 1983.This allowed barely four years for the Project to be implemented which wasobviously inadequate 1/ based on the available evidence. As it turned out theProject took 10 years to complete, more than twice as long as expected. Thescheduling of the appointment of consultants by June 1979 and the commencementof the tendering process by November of the same year both reflect unrealistic

1/ The difficulty of stipulating a completion target is recognised, given thatit depends largely on the completion of the preceeding dam project.

15

expectations on the part of the appraisal Mission. In reality the former wasnearly a year late and the latter more than two years behind schedule.

76. The number of man-months of consulting services required wasunderestimated at appraisal and the cost estimates of most of the projectcomponents were also way off the mark (although the final total project costturned out to be close to the total estimated cost). The stretched implementationperiod and the volatile equipment market during that time contributed to theensuing discrepancy.

77. The Bank monitored the physical and financial progress of theProject through regular Review Missions, of which six were mounted during thecourse of the Project.1/ It promptly acted on request of extension of loanclosing dates and rendered assistance to resolve issues whenever necessary, butit was unable to exercise any Influence to cause the Project to be implementedmore expeditiously.

IV. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS.

A. Conclusions.

78. The Project implementation was unsatisfactory insofar as timelyimplementation was concerned. However, the Project was implemented fortuitouslyclose to the cost estimated during appraisal. Technically the Project appearsto be a success as is shown by the untroubled operation of the generating units.It is too early to judge whether the Project will realize and confer the fullbenefits envisioned at appraisal, but even at this early stage indications arethat the Project will vastly improve the quality of the electricity supply toMandalay, bring about electrification to areas now not served with electricityand help to promote industrial activities in the northern provinces of Myaninar.

B. Recommendations

1. Project Related

(i) Future Monitoring

79. It is recommended that the operation of the power station and itsimpacts on the availability and quality of power supply in the Mandalay Divisionshould continue to be monitored by requiring EPC to submit annual statistics ongeneration at the Sedawgyi power station as well as statistics on distributionsystem operation and on consumers in the Mandalay Division. If necessary, afollow up Review Mission should also be mounted after a year or two.

(ii) Covenants

80. The Bank should take up with the Borrower its failure to comply withthe covenant stipulated in Paragraph 3 of Schedule 6 of the Loan Agreement whichrequires EPC and ID to enter into an agreement for the sharing of the costs ofthe construction and the operation and maintenance of the dam. This is importantin order to more truly reflect the cost of electricity generation and help insetting a more realistic tariff rate.

(iii) Further Actions or Follow-up and AdditionalAssistance

81. As the Project has just been commissioned and is operating verysatisfactorily, no further action or additional assistance appears necessary atthis stage. However, in the course of continuing monitoring of the operationof the power station and the distribution system in the Mandala' Division asoutlined in (1) above, the need for certain follow-up actions and additionalassistance may emerge. It is possible that there may be a future requirementfor assistance to provide funds for spare parts for the power station and foradditional distribution equipment to upgrade and expand the distribution systemin the Mandalay Division to enable more consumers to be served efficiently. Theupgrading of the distribution system is also important from the point of viewof reducing system losses.

(iv) Timing of PPAR Preparation

82. It is recommended that preparation of PPAR not be undertaken beforethe Project has had between three to five years of operation. This is to enablea better assessment of whether the Project is in fact capable of consistently

Page 27: R ES I RICT ED PCR : MYA 12004 ASIAN DEVELOPMENT BANK … · PCR : MYA 12004 ASIAN DEVELOPMENT BANK se for PROJECT COMPLETION REPORT OF THE SEDAWGYI HYDROPOWER PROJECT [LOAN NO. 395

17

producing the design output and conferring the benefits envisaged duringappraisal.

2. General

(v) Project Appraisal

83. The Project demonstrates very clearly the pitfall of rushing intoa hydropower project without adequate geological investigations. In fact theProject should not have been formulated at all without such basic data on whichthe cost, the implementation period and the very viability of the Project (bothtechnical and economic) depended. A substantial technical assistance or aseparate engineering loan should have been given to enable the Project to beproperly investigated, engineered and costed before appraisal. Ideally in thesecircumstances, the technical assistance should include the preparation of thebidding documents, based on the detailed design undertaken so that bidding cantake place immediately upon loan approval without any waste of time.

84. The capability of the Executing Agency (EPC) to undertake theimplementation of the Project efficiently was unfortunately masked by theoverwhelming delay on the construction of the dam under the IrrigationDepartment. There is, however, evidence to show that EPC, on its own, would havein any case suffered delays on account of cumbersome and bureaucratic procedures,especially in approving procurement. It is recommended that Appraisal Missionspay special attention to this aspect of project implementation and considerincluding as a loan covenant a limit on the time taken for appointment ofconsultants and award of key contracts. Failure to adhere to the covenant shouldresult in the suspension of the loan.

(vi) Project Implementation

85. This Project also clearly demonstrates the unsuitability ofadopting the force account method to undertake major projects except by well-organised, experienced and capable executing agencies. Had the contract for theconstruction of the dam been awarded on a competitive basis to a privatecontractor (especially a foreign contractor), the Project would almost certainlyhave been completed very much earlier. This is borne out by the KindaMultipurpose Project which was very similar to the Sedawgyi Project and was beingconstructed at about the same time. The dam construction was undertaken by aforeign contractor and was completed in five years instead of the nine yearsneeded for the Sedawgyi dam.

Appendix 12Page 1

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS

A. The following assumptions are used in the financial analysis:

1) The life of the Project is taken as 35 years conunencing June 1989.This is the same as the time of appraisal.

ii) All prices are expressed in 1989 constant US$. Local costs areconverted to US$ at the average rate prevailing during the year inwhich the expenditure was incurred. Both foreign and local costswere then converted to 1989 constant US$ using the manufacturingunit values for foreign costs and the implicit GDP deflator forlocal costs as shown on page 4 of this appendix.

iii) The Power Project cost used in the analysis included i) the directcost of the Project for generation; ii) the transmission facilitiesfrom the Project to the Mandalay substation; and iii) theexpenthture incurred by the Irrigation Department on the powerhousefoundation and the allocation of a portion of the dam cost. Thedistribution reinforcement in Mandalay is also included as a projectcomponent as it is considered necessary to economically market thepower provided by the project. In addition, the cost of connectionsfor the projected 4,200 new consumers is included.

iv) The cost of the dam allocated to the project is based on the"priority of use method". At the time of appraisal this wasestimated at 16% of the total dam cost but based on the estimatesincluded in the Project Completion Report for the SedawgyiMultipurpose Dam and Irrigation Project [Loan No. 266-BUR(SF)] ofOctober 1988, this allocation is reduced to 5%. The basic reasonfor this reduction to 5 per cent is that there was a major revisionin the design of the dam whereby the additional cost attributableto power generation was reduced as a proportion of the total cost.As the total cost of the dam tripled, the allocation in currenttenis using the 5 per cent rate ($3.26 million) was only slightlylower than the estimated $3.56 million using the 16 per centallocation rate.

v) The disbursements for the dam and powerhouse foundations wereincurred by the Irrigation Department. Details of theseexpenditures are included in the tables following the FIRR analysis.

(Reference in text: page 13, para 68)

Page 56: R ES I RICT ED PCR : MYA 12004 ASIAN DEVELOPMENT BANK … · PCR : MYA 12004 ASIAN DEVELOPMENT BANK se for PROJECT COMPLETION REPORT OF THE SEDAWGYI HYDROPOWER PROJECT [LOAN NO. 395

Appendix -Page 2

vi) Operation and maintenance of the power station and transmission lineis taken as 1% of the foreign cost and 5% of the local cost. Thehigher percentage used for the local cost is due to the majordistortions in the prices of local materials, particularly, cement,steel and fuel at. the time of construction. For distribution,operations and maintenance is calculated at 5% of total cost.

vii) Net generation is calculated at the Mandalay substation and includes1 per cent station use and 2 per cent transmission losses totiandalay.

viii) Bulk sales are to the steel mill on the transmission line to Maymgo.System losses on these sales are calculated at 4 per cent. Othersales are at low voltage and include system losses at 30 per centreducing to 20 per debt over a five year period cosnencing inFY1990

ix) The tariff benefit is based on the tariff schedule introduced on1 November 1988.

B. Based on the above assumptions, the FIRR of the project is 12.7 per centcompared to 13.6 per cent at the time of appraisal. A sensitivity analysis hasbeen done for the level of generation, system loss at the distribution level,tariff, cost of operations and maintenance and increased allocation of darn costs.As the operation and maintenance cost estimate is based on the 1989 price levelsand adjusted by a factor of five for distortions arising from controlled pricesof local inputs to the Project and the additional rainfall data gathered overthe 12-year construction period has confined the generation estimates, the majorrisk is seen as the tariff level not being maintained in real terms. The resultsof the sensitivity analysis are given in the table below.
