    Description
    Objectives

    The project consists of a 3-year investment programme (2008-2010) aimed at modernising the promoter’s distribution electricity networks throughout Latvia.

    The purpose of the project is mainly to improve the quality of electricity supplies to existing customers and to cater for load growth.

    Environmental aspects
    Procurement

    All the project schemes will fall under ANNEX II of the EIA Directive, leaving it to the national competent authority to decide whether an EIA would be required in line with the screening criteria specified in the directive. The specific requirements of the national competent authorities in Latvia will be investigated during appraisal. The potential negative impact on sites of nature conservation will be also investigated during appraisal.

    The EIB will require the promoter to ensure that contracts for the implementation of the project have been/shall be tendered in accordance with the relevant applicable EU procurement legislation, with parallel publication of tender notices in the Official Journal of the EU as and where appropriate.
