DO Electricity Distribution Rehabilitation Project

Abstract*

The objective of the Electricity Distribution Rehabilitation Project for Dominican Republic is to: (a) increase the cash recovery index of the three electricity distribution companies in selected areas; and (b) improve the quality of electricity service. There are three components to the project. The first component is the rehabilitation and upgrading of medium and low voltage circuits in selected areas of state-owned Empresas Distribuidoras de Electricidad... Show More

Development Objective

Notes
1. Total project cost includes funding from World Bank and non-bank sources in US$ millions. Active and Closed projects show current commitments. Proposed (pipeline) and dropped projects show the forecast amount. The commitment amount for projects in the pipeline is indicative and may be modified during the project preparation.
2. Borrower refers to the Borrower of a Loan or Recipient of a Grant.
3. ”Fiscal Year” is the fiscal year in which the project was approved (or dropped if the status is dropped). The World Bank's fiscal year is from July 1 - June 30. For example, a fiscal year of 1996 corresponds to July 1, 1995 - June 30, 1996.
