Objectives

To meet the expected increase in electricity demand through appropriate increases in plant capacity and strengthening of transmission and distribution networks.

Environmental aspects
Procurement

By virtue of their technical characteristics, the project sub-schemes fall under Annex II of Directive 85/337/EC amended by 97/11/EC and 2003/35/EC. Thus, they would be subject to an EIA based on a case-by-case decision or defined criteria set by the competent authorities. The project is expected to have a positive effect on the environment through the use of new, more efficient generation units replacing older ones. Details will be analysed during appraisal.

Procurement procedures are in compliance with relevant EU directives and national and regional legislation.
