The Guinea Electricity Sector Efficiency Improvement Project seeks to improve the electricity sector's commercial and operational efficiency. These results will be achieved through critical investment support and capacity building, which will impact the financial viability of the sector and quality of service delivery. The project contributes to reducing carbon dioxide emissions by addressing the large inefficiencies in the distribution sector and reducing energy losses. The project has three main components. Component 1 funds distribution efficiency improvement. It has the following sub-components (a) Reconfiguration of the low voltage distribution system into a high voltage distribution system to improve the quality of supply; (b) Enhancing the coverage and quality of metering for high tension and low tension customers; (c) Improved quality of supply for customers through reactive power compensation by installation of online capacitors; (d) Addressing customer concerns through establishment of customer care centers; (e) Better cash flow management and the retail metering, billing, and collection process; and (f) Improved attention to customer concerns through launch of rapid response outage management program. Component 2 improves generation efficiency. Component 3 provides technical assistance for energy efficiency, and Institutional and business process strengthening: This component aims to remove barriers for energy efficiency and operational performance. Its subcomponents constitute (a) energy efficiency and conservation; (b) business plan preparation and private sector partnerships; (c) sector policy preparation; (d) financial control and accounting systems; (e) management information systems and operational information technology support; and (f) monitoring and evaluation.
