Abstract
The main objective of this project
(1996-2002), assisted by both the World Bank and the
European Investment Bank, with an initial IDA credit of US$
27.50 million, which rose to US$ 34.21 million equivalent
due to exchange rate fluctuation, was to repair and
rehabilitate the Selingue Hydropower plant built 26 years
ago. Other objectives were: (i) maintain the electricity
supply/demand balance by increasing the thermal capacity of
the system and implement an energy-efficient program; (ii)
improve the capacity of the Energie du Mali (EDM) to
properly operate, maintain and supervise its power
generation facilities; and (iii) prepare a long-term
institutional framework and regulatory system for the power
sector and privatize EDM.
