The project involved constructing about 1100 kilometers of new transmission lines, building four new substations, and expanding three existing ones, covering four of Turkmenistan’s five regions. This significant investment has been key in enhancing domestic power supply reliability and supporting future electricity exports, marking a major advancement in the country’s energy infrastructure.
Indonesia (2012-2015): West Kalimantan-Sarawak Cross border Transmission
The West Kalimantan Power Grid Strengthening Project in Indonesia, funded by a $150 million loan from the Asian Development Bank, aimed to enhance the region’s power infrastructure. The project included building a new transmission line and substations, reducing reliance on oil-based power generation, and lowering operational costs.
It facilitated a cross-border electricity exchange with Malaysia, promoting sustainable power supply and regional cooperation in Southeast Asia. Additionally, it emphasized environmental sustainability and expanded electricity access to local communities.
Indonesia (2010): Java-Bali Distribution Performance
The Java-Bali Electricity Distribution Performance Improvement Project in Indonesia, with an investment cost of $120 million, aimed to enhance the efficiency and reliability of the power distribution network across the Java and Bali regions.
This project was pivotal in reducing distribution losses, saving significant amounts of energy annually, and contributing to a reduction in CO2 emissions. A significant achievement was the ability to connect additional customers to the power grid, greatly improving the electricity supply in these densely populated regions
Kyrgyz Republic: Toktogul Hydropower (2015-2019)
The Toktogul Hydropower Rehabilitation Project Phase 2 in the Kyrgyz Republic, with a total investment of $250 million, aimed to modernize the country’s largest power plant. This project significantly improved the plant’s operational efficiency and reliability, enhancing its generation capacity.
Notably, it involved the rehabilitation of turbine and generator units, contributing to increased power output and efficiency. The project’s extensive scope and substantial investment marked a major advancement in the Kyrgyz Republic’s energy sector, reinforcing energy security and regional power system stability.
Philippines (2009): Philippine Energy Efficiency
The Philippine Energy Efficiency Project, with a budget of $46.5 million, was designed to enhance energy efficiency across the Philippines.
This project’s central components included retrofitting government buildings with efficient lighting, distributing 13 million compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs), and establishing a super energy service company (ESCO) for continued development. It aimed to reduce peak power demand, contribute to greenhouse gas reduction, and promote sustainable energy practices, significantly impacting the country’s energy conservation efforts.
India (2005): Power Grid Transmssion
The India Power Grid Transmission Project, valued at approximately $568 million, aimed to improve the national transmission grid’s efficiency and reliability.
This project included the enhancement of transmission lines and substations, helping reduce transmission losses and bottlenecks. It played a crucial role in ensuring the effective distribution of electricity across regions, supporting the country’s growing energy needs and economic development. The project’s scale and investment highlight its significant contribution to India’s power infrastructure.
PRC (2004): Coal Mine Methane Development Project
The Coal Mine Methane Development Project in the People’s Republic of China, with a total budget of $237 million, was focused on harnessing methane from coal mines for power generation.
Key accomplishments included improved methane capture and the establishment of a 120 MW power plant fueled by coal mine methane, contributing to both safety in mining operations and environmental benefits through reduced greenhouse gas emissions. This project represented a pioneering effort in utilizing coal mine methane efficiently, setting a precedent for similar initiatives globally.
PRC (2003): Gansu Clean Energy Development
The Gansu Clean Energy Development Project in China, with a budget of $87 million, was focused on constructing the 98-megawatt Xiaogushan Hydropower Plant and upgrading the power supply to three rural townships.
This initiative significantly improved energy efficiency, reliability, and access to clean energy in the region. It also aimed at environmental improvement and poverty reduction, making it a pivotal step in sustainable energy development in Gansu Province.
