As part of the project: “Central Asia Regional Electricity Market
Interconnectivity and Trade Multiphase Programmatic (REMIT)»

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The REMIT project will contribute to the expansion of electricity trade and ensure the transition to clean energy in Central Asia. The proposed MPA approach for the Project is designed in such a way that comprehensively supports the development and expansion of the regional power market.

The Project begins with the MPA1 phase, which is aimed at (i) creation and commissioning of an experimental daily electricity market for energy trade based on bilateral Power Purchase Agreement (PPA); (ii) a certain number of crucial investments into the trade development; and (iii) an initial set of capacity-building measures to create favorable conditions for trading. The aim of the first stage is to bring the principles of market cooperation to the regional cooperation in the Central Asia and enhance the confidence in the power trade between countries.

The proposed Project (MPA1) consists of the three components as follows:

(i) Component 1: Pilot regional electricity market;

(ii) Component 2: Improvement and digitalization of regional interconnectivity; and

(iii) Component 3: Improvement of the favorable environment and institutional capacity.

This project addresses the environmental and social aspects through the World Bank’s Environmental and Social Framework. One of the Standards – ESS2 relates to Labor and Working Conditions and expects the Borrowers to develop Labor Management Procedures (LMP). The LMP identifies the main labor requirements and risks associated with the Project and helps the Borrower to determine the resources necessary to address labor risks and impacts. The LMP is a living document, which is initiated early in project preparation, and is reviewed and updated throughout development and implementation of the project. Accordingly, this document details out the type of workers likely to be deployed by the project and the management thereof. The LMP covers NEGU and contractor/subcontractor worker employment at each of the Project sites.
