Implementation Status and Key Decisions
A restructuring was recently carried out for the project to extend the closing date of the project. The Bank granted a final extension of the project closing date to December 31, 2018 to allow for the completion of the 161kV Onigbolo-Parakou transmission line which has been progressing despite initial delay. The completion of the Onigbolo-Parakou transmission line, together with the reinforcement of substations already completed under the project, would increase the reliability of transmission networks in Benin and reduce the transmission power losses. As a result, power import interruptions linked to transmission networks defaults would be reduced and Benin’s ability to import reliable, efficient and cheaper generation from neighboring countries would be improved in the medium and long run. This is in line with the World Bank’s support to promote regional integration in West Africa. Project Disbursement Overall, the implementation progress of the project is estimated at 99 percent provided the construction of the Onigbolo-Parakou 161 kV transmission line of 280 km would be completed as expected. As of June 30, 2018, the project disbursed a total amount of US$50 million equivalent which represents about 94 percent of the total financing. The project commitment ratio for the same period is about 99 percent. With the commissioning of the Onigbolo-Parakou 161 kV transmission line by August 2018 and the completion of other ongoing activities, the project would disburse about 99 percent of the total funding

Date 28-May-2009 12-Jan-2018 26-Jul-2018 31-Dec-2018
Comments This indicator is measured annually. The losses on the Beninese transmission network in 2010 was 51GWh for an energy flow of 937 GWh which is equivalent to a loss rate of 5.44%. In 2014, the energy loss represented 58 GWh for a total energy flow of 1,170 GWh which is equivalent to a loss rate of 4.96%. In 2016, losses represented 50.7 GWh for an energy flow of 1,101.5 GWh which is equivalent to a rate of 4.6%. The data for 2017 is provisional and not yet validated. These preliminary data indicate a loss rate of about 5% (62.55GWh) for an energy flow of 1,251 GWh. The loss rate is higher that the one for 2016 because of (i) poor quality of supply voltage from TCN (Nigeria) which resulted in voltage drops in the network; and (ii) the logging of the Bohicon-Onigbolo line necessary for the construction of the Sakété-Onigbolo line. In fact, the energy coming from Nigeria which was increasing had to go through the only Sakété-Cotonou line, thus inducing overload.

Comments The level of electrical energy losses today is due to the extent of non-technical (commercial) losses. This situation led the Government of Benin to put in place a plan to improve the management of SBEE. The ongoing Energy Services Improvement Project (ESIP-P161015) funded by IDA will improve SBEE's operational performance.

Initially, the length of the Onigbolo-Parakou line was estimated at 280 km. During the design review / finalization induding the right-of-way of the line, the final length of the line became 254.7 km.The Sakété-Tanzoun line has been commissioned (thus 30 km of built line) and 192.3 km of the Onigbolo-Parakou line was completed. That gives a total of 222.3 km of built lines.

Comments The information provided for July 2018 came from the final evaluation of the Energy Efficiency sub-component, which looked at the calculation of the indicators.The December 2016 data came from an estimate based on the basic assumptions of "the replacement of 60W incandescent bulbs by compact fluorescents".But in practice, because there were not many incande scent bulbs in Benin, economic bulbs of 40 W were also replaced by compact fluorescents . This situation has lowered the level of achieved energy savings.
