Umweltaspekte

With a thermal capacity below 300 MWth, the project does not fall under Annex 1 of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Directive 2014/52/EU which amends Directive 92/2011/EU, thereby, adhering to Annex 2 of the said Directive and Finnish EIA law, leaving it to the competent authority to decide if an EIA is required. However, the plant was initially planned at larger capacity with an integrated biorefinery and was screened by the competent authority. Thus, an EIA has been provided in January 2014. The project is also subject to the provisions of the Industrial Emissions Directive 2010/75/EU. A public consultation has taken place as part of the process but the environmental permit is pending.

Auftragsvergabe

The promoter is a public undertaking in the utility sector that follows public procurement procedures as required by Directive 2014/25/EU. Procurement for the project has started with publications in the Official Journal of the European Union.
