Lesson
Well-developed monitoring framework with logically defined target indicators can assist the project in measuring its achievements and results objectively. Under the project, an indicator about the share of e-trikes in the operation of 3-wheelers or the number of local government units adopting electric mobility options for public transport would have been more appropriate outcome indicators. Furthermore, the e-trikes’ operating costs and drivers’ income could have been included to assess the financial suitability of the new technology.

Technical support in the preparation of bidding documents and evaluation of bids is critical to streamline the implementation of these investments and make necessary and timely adjustments. ADB can provide technical capacity support to executing agencies with no previous experience in new specialized technology during project design.

Introduction of new technologies, particularly those involving more than a like-for-like replacement of the ones already in use, requires collaboration with experts and private suppliers throughout the design, testing, and repeated price discovery stages.

A multitranche financing facility (MFF) that initially focuses on piloting, capacity building, behavioral and technology change management, and the establishment of a more robust financial intermediation mechanism may have been more appropriate for this project.

Reassessment and careful choice of independent marker operator. The government should look carefully again at the need for an independent market operator (IMO). As far as the evaluation could ascertain, use of the Philippine Electricity Market Corporation (PEMC), which is not an IMO, has had no obvious adverse repercussions to date. This finding suggests that it could be counterproductive to force the pace of change to establish the IMO that the Electric Power Industry Reform Act and project design called for, and the government undertook to create but did not.

Time needed to deal with rights-of-way. Projects such as this one need to allow sufficient time to assess and address the issues in acquiring right-of-way. The project’s compensation and resettlement problems could have been resolved more quickly if those affected had been made better aware of the property valuation process and the impact the project would have on them. The project could have established a mechanism to deal with disputes, and local government institutions could have been engaged to help resolve them.

Projects implemented in a period when a change in government is foreseeable will undergo reevaluation and review by the new administration. If the core PMU (project management unit) team has a strong foundation and capacity to implement the project, and is seen to be politically impartial, the risk of changes to leadership and possibly even decisions can be mitigated. To have an efficient PMU, project monitoring needs to be programmed and reviewed regularly during implementation to ensure that the executing agency has sufficient staff and counterpart budget.

Stakeholder analysis and detailed consultation are very important for pioneering projects like this one. Ownership by stakeholders is at risk if project implementation requirements are insufficiently analyzed, and if the institutional environment and human resource capacity is inadequate. This was the first ADB loan to be implemented by DOE (Department of Energy), and it became apparent early on that it was not familiar with ADB procedures, especially on procurement matters and engagement of consultants, which led to project delays.

The time provided to establish and operationalize the Super ESCO (energy service company) was not sufficient. The existing policy environment, particularly for government budgeting and accounting, does not support the ESCO concept of an energy performance contract (EPC). The environment needs to be adjusted first to enable implementation of ESCO projects in the public sector.
