Appendix GEnergy Project Portfolio DatabasesCEIF Database (Master Energy Database)Scope 2003–08This database, compiled by the <strong>World</strong> <strong>Bank</strong>’ Energy Anchor,was the starting point for IEG’s analysis. Although the CleanEnergy Investment Framework (CEIF) was formulated in2005, the database was backfilled to include projects approvedin 2003. It covers all <strong>World</strong> <strong>Bank</strong> Group energy projects acrossthe International <strong>Bank</strong> for Reconstruction and <strong>Development</strong>/International <strong>Development</strong> Association, the Global EnvironmentFund, <strong>Carbon</strong> Finance, International Finance Corporation,and the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency.<strong>The</strong> unit <strong>of</strong> observation is the project component.Component type categories include—• Oil (extractive industries and downstream, excludinggeneration)• Gas (extractive industries and downstream, excludinggeneration)• Coal (extractive industries and downstream, excludinggeneration)• Energy efficiency• New renewable energy, broken down by technology,for example, wind, small hydro, solar photovoltaic, solarthermal, geothermal, and bioenergy. If there is morethan one technology supported by the component, thegeneral category “New Renewable Energy” is assigned.New Renewable Energy excludes hydropower> 10 MW.• Large hydro• <strong>The</strong>rmal generation (oil, gas or coal, specified)• Transmission and distribution• Other (including policy operations, environmentalassessment).Components were also mapped to the following groups:• <strong>Low</strong> carbon: Renewable energy projects (including allhydropower), energy efficiency, rehabilitation <strong>of</strong> powerplants, district heating, biomass waste-fueled energy;reduction <strong>of</strong> gas flaring, transmission and distributioncomponents that target low carbon and/or energy efficiency,and other—investments with lower carbon goals.• Access: Those that increase access to electricity services.In IDA countries, all investments in generationand transmission and distribution are assigned to thecategory <strong>of</strong> Access (as they all aimed to increase electrification);in IBRD countries only electricity accessprojects and rural electrification projects are consideredas “Access.”• Blended low carbon and access: Those access projectsthat use low carbon energy options to increase accessto electricity.• Transmission and distribution, oil and gas; other thermalgeneration: projects that do not specifically target lowercarbon or energy efficiency (some transmission anddistribution is classified under low carbon, however).• Other energy: Projects with energy policy support (<strong>Development</strong>Policy Loans) or projects for which energyform cannot be defined clearly or that have multipleenergy subsector support—that do not target lower carbonand/or energy efficiency.IEG review <strong>of</strong> the databaseFor this evaluation, IEG reviewed and modified the 2003–08CEIF database as follows.Some components were further disaggregated, based ondescriptions in appraisal documents. For instance, an$87 million component labeled “New Renewable Energy”was disaggregated into subcomponents: a $20 millionbiomass facility and a $67 million wind project.IEG used budget allocations reported in the appraisaldocument rather than the sectoral percentage assignmentsused for project classification. For instance, theTurkey Renewable Energy project is a $202 million operationdesigned to support development <strong>of</strong> the renewableenergy, providing financing via Turkish banks to privatedevelopers. CEIF recorded this project as $101 million operation,because the project was <strong>of</strong>ficially allocated amongthe following sectors: central government administration(10 percent), micro- and small and medium enterprise finance(40 percent), and renewable energy (50 percent).IEG classified the entire expenditure as financing for renewableenergy development ($202 million), includinglarge hydropower, geothermal energy, and wind (as in theProject Assessment Document). For this reason, IEG’sreckoning <strong>of</strong> commitment amounts sometimes exceededthe CEIF’s.108 | Climate Change and the <strong>World</strong> <strong>Bank</strong> Group
