Summary sheet
The project, financing the Puylobo onshore wind farm (48.5 MW) in the Spanish region of Aragon, consists of an allocation under the framework loan (FL) 2019-0811 IBERDROLA SPAIN GREEN ENERGY FRAMEWORK LOAN.
The operation will be key to increase electricity generation from renewable energy sources in Spain, in line with climate targets adopted for 2020, 2030 and 2050.
The project is included in Annex I of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Directive (Directive 2014/52/EU amending the EIA Directive 2011/92/EU), requiring full EIA, including public consultation. The project received its environmental permit in April 2019, for both the plant and the transmission line with no reported complaints.
The promoter has been assessed by the EIB as being a private company not being subject to EU rules on public procurement or concessions. However, if after the project appraisal, the EIB were to conclude that the promoter is after all subject to EU public procurement legislation Directive 2014/23/EU / 2014/24/EU / 2014/25/EU, where applicable, then the Bank would require the promoter to ensure that contracts for the implementation of the project have been and will be tendered in accordance with the relevant applicable EU procurement legislation Directive 2014/23/EU 2014/24/EU / 2014/25/EU, where applicable, as well as Directive 92/13/EEC or Directive 89/665/EEC, as interpreted by the Court of Justice of the EU, with publication of tender notices in the Official Journal of the EU, as and where required.
