Build institutional capacity with a focus on local and watershed level institutions, to increase women’s participation in decision-making on natural infrastructure and water resources SEDAPAL Institutional Capacity-Building This quarter, NIWS worked closely with Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, director of SEDAPAL’s environmental management team, EGASE, to strengthen SEDAPAL’s institutional capacity through an exchange with the region’s leading water utility investing in natural infrastructure, technical support for proposals to address personnel needs and transfer funds to a third-party administrator, and coordination with SUNASS to support smooth preparation of SEDAPAL’s new Optimized Master Plan. These activities all complemented NIWS’ support to SEDAPAL for the development of a portfolio of MERESE projects, which is detailed in section 3.1.5. In January, NIWS facilitated an exchange between SEDAPAL and Quito’s water utility, EPMAPS. The exchange, organized by EcoDecision and Forest Trends, hosted 6 managerial staff from 3 departments in SEDAPAL that need to be coordinated in order for the MERESE portfolio to advance: for example, participants included Xxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Manager of the Project and Investments Office, Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Director of the Environmental Management and Ecosystem Services Team, among others. In Ecuador, SEDAPAL staff met with EPMAPS Planning Manager, Environmental Manager, Commercial Manager and the Communications Director, as well as Technical Secretary and technical managers of FONAG, Quito’s water fund which is primarily funded by EPMAPS. This process has contributed to raising awareness of other areas of SEDAPAL that were unaware of the importance of natural infrastructure prior to the exchange. As a result of the exchange, EGASE and NIWS staff have noted a marked shift in work with other areas; evidently, the exchange provoked a reflection on how to optimize and/or modify internal procedures of SEDAPAL that allow a faster execution of the MERESE projects. During the visit, SEDAPAL officials identified a critical step is to search for solutions to improve the processes and procedures that currently present obstacles, such as investment bottlenecks. They also highlighted the fact that because these projects require time and inter-institutional coordination, it is necessary to start their mobilization as soon as possible. Lastly, they agreed that conservation agreements are necessary, because working with the local populations is vital for the success of water utility compa...

Build institutional capacity with a focus on local and watershed level institutions, to increase women’s participation in decision-making on natural infrastructure and water resources SEDAPAL Institutional Capacity-Building In conjunction with SEDAPAL’s EGASE group, NIWS developed a preliminary roadmap for Public Investment Projects in natural infrastructure. The roadmap outlines the complexity and diversity of the various groups that must work together with EGASE during the development of a Public Investment Project in natural infrastructure. This roadmap has helped to identify the role each Area, Team, Unit and/or Management Division in SEDAPAL has in developing a natural infrastructure project from an initial idea. NIWS will continue to refine the process next quarter, exploring shorter and more efficient pathways. Considering that there will continue to be obstacles and challenges to mobilizing large-scale projects in the future, NIWS, PROFONANPE and SEDAPAL have been exploring opportunities for the administration and execution of natural infrastructure investments by an Environmental Fund. This is an important way to diversify investment modalities in natural infrastructure by involving an organization which is specialized in the subject and will be able to develop and execute projects with greater speed and efficiency. This will allow the development and execution of larger scale interventions which require greater cost and cover a greater area. Next quarter, NIWS will continue to work with SEDAPAL to identify the inputs and procedures necessary to transfer funds from SEDAPAL to PROFONANPE. Mainstreaming Gender in Water Sector Institutions Building on the high-level ratification of commitments to mainstream gender in XXX and SUNASS in February, this quarter NIWS advanced institutional diagnostics to serve as baselines for Gender Action Plans. As reported in Q2, this analysis is being led by specialized consultant teams assigned to each institution, working closely with specialists from NIWS and MIMP as well as with task forces set up in each institution. The analysis this quarter was primarily based on the review of documents such as the Multiannual Sector Strategic Plan (PESEM), Institutional Strategic Plan (PEI), Operational Plan (POI), Personnel Development Plan, and budgets, as well as other policy and strategy documents. Additionally, teams carried out interviews with officials in SUNASS and XXX in May and June. While coordination with counterparts, specifically organizing ...

Build institutional capacity with a focus on local and watershed level institutions, to increase women’s participation in decision-making on natural infrastructure and water resources Provide institutional strengthening support to watershed councils and XXX, including for mainstreaming gender Institutional strengthening of watershed councils This year, SPDA prepared a diagnosis of the institutional, legal and structural gaps within the Watershed Resources Councils (CRHC) in order to identify solutions to the challenges of implementing their watershed resource plans (PGRHC). As part of the diagnosis, SPDA evaluated opportunities to link PGRHC with formal planning instruments in order to reinforce their binding nature and promote their implementation. The diagnosis was used to prepare draft guidelines to strengthen the PGRHC for XXX to consider publishing as a resolution. During Q3, the guidelines were presented to XXX's Project for the Modernization for Water Resources Management for review. In Q4, XXX responded that while establishing the PGRHC as legally binding documents is a priority, the proposal was not in line with what they had in mind; they plan to strengthen the PGRHC through implementing practical actions rather than changing legal structures. Forest Trends will analyze alternatives to strengthen the PGRHC during FY2022. Mainstreaming gender in XXX Forest Trends began the process of mainstreaming a gender approach within XXX in FY2020. Throughout FY2021, XXX has been reviewing the proposed Institutional Gender Diagnosis and Gender Mainstreaming Plan submitted by Forest Trends, but has yet to approve either document. Recently XXX has renewed their commitment to finalizing, approving, and implementing this plan. More details on this process can be found in Section 4.2.

  • Right to Contracted Capacity & Energy 4.4.1 The SPD will declare the CUF of the project and will be allowed to revise the same once within first year after COD of the project. Thereafter, the CUF for the Project shall remain unchanged for the entire term of the PPA. The declared annual CUF shall in no case be less than 17%. It shall be the responsibility of the SPD, entirely at its cost and expense to install such number of Solar panels and associated infrastructure(like project equipment)as may be necessary to achieve the required CUF, and for this purpose SPD shall make its own study and investigation of the GHI and other factors prevalent in the area which have implication on the quantum of generation. Further, arrangement of extra land for such installation shall be intimated to MSPDCL in advance and MSPDCL shall have to reply for the same in 7 days in the best interest of the project generation. However,non- availability of land shall not absolve SPD from his obligations under the PPA. SPD shall maintain generation so as to achieve annual CUF within + 10% and -15% of the declared value till the end of 10 years from COD, subject to the annual CUF remaining minimum of 15%, and within +10% and -20% of the declared value of the annual CUF thereafter till the end of the PPA duration of 25 years. The lower limit will, however, be relaxable by MSPDCL to the extent of non-availability of grid for evacuation which is beyond the control of the SPD. The annual CUF will be calculated every Contract Year. The compensation due to shortfall in generation shall be applied to the amount of shortfall in generation during the Contract Year. The amount of compensation shall be equal to the compensation payable (including equivalent amount of Electricity purchased from the grid for meeting load demand due to short fall in solar power) by the buying Entity, which shall ensure that the buying Entity is offset for all potential costs associated with low generation and supply of power under the PPA, subject to a minimum of 50% (fifty per cent) of the cost of this shortfall in energy terms, calculated at PPA tariff. The amount, being equal to the compensation payable, by the buying Entity for not meeting load requirements is only a measure of damage. It shall not be construed that the compensation is payable by SPD only if the buying Entity are required to pay compensation for such not meeting of load requirements or that the buying Entity or the SPD shall be required to prove or establish such payment of compensation for not meeting the load. SPD shall agree that the methodology specified herein above for calculation of liquidated damages payable by the SPD for shortfall in generation is a genuine and accurate pre-estimation of the actual loss that will be suffered by buying Entity. SPD shall further acknowledge that a breach of any of the obligations contained herein result in injuries and that the amount of the liquidated damages or the method of calculating the liquidated damages specified in this document is a genuine and reasonable pre-estimate of the damages that may be suffered by buying Entity in each case specified under this Agreement. However, this compensation shall not be applicable in events of Force Majeure identified under the PPA with MSPDCL, affecting supply of power by the SPD to the Buying Entity.
