Aspects environnementaux

R&D activities are not specifically mentioned under the EIA Directive 2011/92/EU, and the project is expected to be carried out in existing facilities without changing their already authorised scope. However, any potential investment concerning test equipment, which fall under Annex II of the EIA Directive, along with any other environmental issues, will be clarified during the project’s appraisal.

Passation des marchés

The promoter is a private company not operating in the Utilities sector and not having a status of a contracting authority. Thus it is not covered by EU Directives on procurement.
