Lesson
The programmatic approach taken in the TA—including upstream policy reforms, midstream transaction advisory support, and downstream funding support—along with the One ADB collaboration model for energy transition, has been well-recognized and is being replicated in other developing member countries. This type of TA is instrumental in supporting the government during times of significant changes. The analytical studies in support of policy dialogues and reform measures have been critical in firming up ADB’s leading role in the sector and in leveraging reforms through investments.

Lesson
The program provided the environment for private sector participation (PSP) in the sector, although this should only be seen as the start and not the conclusion. Further, independent power producers need to be contracted whenever possible, while carefully monitoring contingent liability risks. More PSP could be encouraged in water and wastewater operations,perhaps adopting franchise or concession arrangements, viability gap financing, or availability payments.

Lesson
A holistic approach, including an exit strategy, helps improve the design of long-term support for the power sector. Therefore, the supervision of the investment program needs to closely track the capital works being implemented by the executing agencies using their own funds, and the assistance provided by other agencies, including complementary programs initiated by the government. Any gaps should be then filled by utilizing loan savings. ADB started supporting the Madhya Pradesh power sector over 20 years ago and the approved loans add up to $1,720 million.
