Additional disclosure on bank's website as follow:

"The proposed loans will support Lomligor in providing long term financing for a 10-megawatt (MW) wind power project with an integrated 1.88-megawatt-hour (MWh) pilot battery energy storage system (BESS). The project will be the first private sector project in Thailand to integrate utility-scale wind power generation with battery energy storage and will have an important demonstration effect. As the deployment of intermittent generation from wind and solar increases, battery energy storage becomes vital in providing higher levels of renewable energy to the grid and helping ensure the stability and reliability of the overall power system."

Contact Information
This section aims to support the local communities and local CSO to get to know which stakeholders are involved in a project with their roles and responsibilities. If available, there may be a complaint office for the respective bank which operates independently to receive and determine violations in policy and practice. Independent Accountability Mechanisms receive and respond to complaints. Most Independent Accountability Mechanisms offer two functions for addressing complaints: dispute resolution and compliance review.

Responsible ADB Officer Lockhart, Robert S.

ACCOUNTABILITY MECHANISM OF ADB

The Accountability Mechanism is an independent complaint mechanism and fact-finding body for people who believe they are likely to be, or have been, adversely affected by an Asian Development Bank-financed project. If you submit a complaint to the Accountability Mechanism, they may investigate to assess whether the Asian Development Bank is following its own policies and procedures for preventing harm to people or the environment. You can learn more about the Accountability Mechanism and how to file a complaint at: http://www.adb.org/site/accountability-mechanism/main
