INTRODUCTION 1. The Safeguard Policy Statement (2009) of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) is grounded in ADB’s Poverty Reduction Strategy and long-term strategic framework. The Poverty Reduction Strategy recognizes that environmental sustainability is a prerequisite for pro-poor economic growth and efforts to reduce poverty. 2. ADB requires environmental assessment of all project loans, program loans, sector loans, sector development program loans, financial intermediation loans, and private sector investment operations. Environmental assessment is a process rather than a one-time report, and includes necessary environmental analyses and environmental management planning that take place throughout the project cycle. 3. In accordance with ADB's Safeguard Policy Statement (2009), this document represents the Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) Report prepared by the National Electric Grid of Kyrgyzstan (NEGK), the executing agency (EA) of the proposed Power Sector Improvement Project (the Project). The IEE was prepared, with the assistance of ADB's Small-scale technical assistance (TA 7368-KGZ), through the following steps. • Collection, review and analysis of existing baseline data (including all available environmental legislation and guidelines) and relevant reports from previous similar projects; • Discussions with experts from NEGK’s Head Office, NEGK regional offices, personnel of substations, etc. • Revision of engineering data, designs, field notes and photographs to identify the various environmental issued involved; • Field trips to examine existing environmental conditions and understand the type and magnitude of expected impacts; • Assessment of possible environmental impacts and mitigation measures for each step of the planning, design, construction and operation; and • Preparation of an environmental monitoring and management plan. 4. The Government of the Kyrgyz Republic (the Government) requested ADB to provide assistance in implementation of the Project in November 2009. B. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT 1. Project Description 5. Project's impact is improved reliability of national and regional power supply in the Kyrgyz Republic and Central Asia. The outcome is the improved operational efficiency of the power companies. 6. Project's physical outputs are: (i) Installation of wholesale digital meters and automated data acquisition equipment at existing grid substations to measure input/output between NEGK, generation companies, distribution companies and import/export boundaries, as well as at large industrial consumers; 2 (ii) Installation of a communications loop and basic components of a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition system (SCADA) linking six major substations in the northern transmission system, with interconnection to the national dispatch centre, to facilitate automated metering and commercial data acquisition and provide basic SCADA (iii) Upgrading of selected NEGK substations with replacement circuit breakers (CBs), current transformers (CTs) and voltage transformers (VTs). 7. The Project has two executing agencies (EAs): Ministry of Energy, and the National Electric Grid of Kyrgyzstan (NEGK). NEGK is responsible for all physical investments under the Project. 8. The specific types of works involved are as follows. a. Automated Metering and Data Acquisition 9. Establishment of the Automated Metering and Data Acquisition system (AMDA) requires about 2,700 modern solid-state meters to be installed in the 190 high-voltage (HV; 110 kV, 220 kV, 500 kV) substations through out the national HV transmission grid. Some defective or low accuracy current transformers (CTs) and/or voltage transformers (VTs) will also be replaced. The meters are connected to the data aggregator and then to a modem. Commercial metering data are transmitted to the National Control Center (NCC) by Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM). Substations that are outside the GSM coverage will transmit data through microwave radio and power line carrier (PLC). All equipment installation will take place within the compound of existing substations. HV Transmission Grid System 3 b. SCADA and Communications 10. The SCADA links the seven northern substations and three control centers with optical fiber. Of the 560 km of optical fibers, 510 km will be in the form of optical ground wire (OPGW) and 50 km will be underground optical fiber cable. OPGW will be string on existing transmission towers along the existing transmission line route. Underground fiber cables will be laid beneath public roads utilizing existing underground ducts, or where these do not exist through directional drilling to minimize the disruption to road and pedestrian traffic. OPGW and Underground Cable Link Location of Underground Fiber Cable Installation 4 c. Substation Rehabilitation 11. Substation rehabilitation involves the replacement of CTs and circuit breakers (CBs). All installation will take place within existing transmission substations. 2. Category of the Project 12. ADB’s environmental categorization is determined according to the likelihood and magnitude of risk associated with a project when implemented without mitigation. The Project involves installation of equipment in existing substations and on existing transmission towers. Potentially adverse impacts are foreseeable, but not significant, if implemented without mitigation. Therefore, the recommendation is that the project can have an overall environmental categorization of Category B. C. POLICY, LEGAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE FRAMEWORK 1. General 13. The Kyrgyz Republic is divided administratively into seven Oblasts (Provinces) plus the metropolitan region of Bishkek, the capital. Each oblast consists of several rayons (districts) and towns directly subordinated to the Oblast. In each of the Oblasts, there are regional councils, but the main executive authority is represented by the head of the Oblast administration, who is appointed by the Central government. 14. In the context of environmental policy, the President has specific authority on establishing rules of natural resources use, defining and announcing environmental emergencies and environmental disaster zones as well as procedures for collection and use of environmental protection funds. 15. The executive arm of central government is headed by the Prime Minister and the First Vice Prime Minister. Three additional Vice Prime Ministers are responsible for Industrial, Social and Agricultural (including Environmental) Policies and the supervision of the respective ministries and national agencies. 2. Environmental Institutions 16. At the highest level of government, the Jogorku Kenesh (Parliament) - through the Commission on Agriculture and Environment - is responsible for: (i) Defining the overall framework for nature protection policy (ii) Developing and approving laws and regulations (iii) Approving government proposals on resource charges and taxes. 17. A number of environmental responsibilities are delegated to the President’s office. The President

EXPEDITION REPORT Mountain ghosts: protecting snow leopards and other animals of the Tien Shan mountains of Kyrgyzstan Expedition dates: 9 June – 23 August 2014 Report published: June 2015 Authors: Volodymyr Tytar I.I Schmalhausen Institute of Zoology of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine Matthias Hammer Biosphere Expeditions 1 © Biosphere Expeditions, an international not-for-profit conservation organisation registered in England, Germany, France, Australia and the USA Officially accredited member of the United Nations Environment Programme's Governing Council & Global Ministerial Environment Forum Officially accredited member of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature Abstract This study was part of an expedition to the Tien Shan Mountains (Kyrgyz Ala-Too range), run by Biosphere Expeditions and NABU from 9 June to 23 August 2014 with the aim of surveying for snow leopard (Uncia uncia) and its prey species such as argali (Ovis ammon) and Siberian ibex (Capra sibirica). Using a cell methodology adopted by Biosphere Expeditions for volunteer expeditions, 77 cells of 2 x 2 km were surveyed and 22 interviews with local people were conducted. The surveys yielded no evidence of snow leopard (camera trap photos, tracks, scrapes, marking places, etc.), but the interviews indicated that snow leopard was present in the area and confirmed the importance of the area as a habitat for snow leopard. The surveys also showed that the area’s habitat is sufficiently varied and capable of sustaining a healthy prey base for the snow leopard as well as for other carnivores such as the wolf.

  • Summary Assessment of Damage and Needs
    COVID-19 Pandemic Emergency Project (RRP KGZ 54175-001) SUMMARY ASSESSMENT OF DAMAGE AND NEEDS A. The COVID-19 Pandemic 1. In December 2019, a novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) emerged and quickly spread around the world causing a surge in fatalities, especially among people with co-morbidities. The World Health Organization (WHO) declared a global COVID-19 pandemic on 11 March 2020. Initial data showed that up to 20% of symptomatic cases progressed into severe and critical cases requiring hospitalization with a global case fatality rate of 7% among all those that have formally reported as confirmed cases.1 Since then, over 6 million people had been infected globally and over 373,000 had died.2 COVID-19 mortality is much higher in the elderly and in general in persons with risk factors such as smoking, obesity and cardio-vascular diseases. 2. The Government of the Kyrgyz Republic announced the first cases of COVID-19 on 17 March 2020. On 24 March 2020, the Kyrgyz Republic declared a state of emergency in consultation with WHO. Borders were closed, followed by businesses and schools, and lockdown and social distancing were imposed. By 2 June 2020, there were 1,845 infected people (including 364 health workers), 1,219 recovered, and 17 deaths. B. Health Sector Capacity 3. The Kyrgyz Republic is particularly vulnerable to the COVID-19 pandemic. In its assessment of the country’s operational readiness for preventing, detecting and responding to a public health emergency, WHO assigned it a 2 out of 5, among the lowest in the region (footnote 2).
