Description
Objectives

The project is part of the promoter's investment programme to upgrade the gas distribution networks in Slovakia for the period 2019-2022. The investments envisaged by the promoter include mainly the replacement of old steel pipelines and the refurbishment of regulation stations. Other components include the upgrade of information technology systems and metering equipment. The investment schemes are located in various parts of the country, mostly classified as cohesion priority regions.

The project consists of the upgrading of the distribution system in order to provide a better and more efficient service to the end customer, reduce the potential for gas leakages and maintain/restore safety levels.

Environmental aspects
Procurement

The characteristics of the Project components are such that they typically fall under Annex II of the Environmental Assessment Directive 2011/92/EU (amended 2014/52/EU), leaving it up to the national competent authority to determine whether an environmental impact assessment is required according to criteria defined in Annex III of the Directive. The upgrading works are planned on existing systems, which have been initially screened out based on their technical characteristics and criteria defined in the national regulation.

The Promoter confirmed that contracts for the implementation of the project shall be tendered in accordance with the relevant applicable EU procurement legislation (Directive 2014/25/EU and 2014/24/EU where applicable, as well as Directives 89/665/EEC and 92/13/EEC) as interpreted by the Court of Justice of the EU, with the publication of tender notices in the Official Journal of the European Union, as and where required.
