Summary sheet
The project is part of the Promoter’s on-going investment programme to upgrade and extend its gas distribution networks in some of its concession areas. At this stage, the investments appear to be broadly split into the following categories: the installation of corrosion protection systems in Rome, northern Italy and Sicily; and the upgrading and extension of the network in Rome.
The project will cover concession(s) in the EU cohesion region of Sicily.
The project will enable the Promoter to cater for demand growth, reduce losses, and to improve quality, reliability and efficiency of the gas distribution system. The project will also allow the Promoter to reinforce the network in terms of safety.
Appraisal of the project suggests that none of the components will be required to undertake a full Environmental Impact Assessment per Directive 2011/92/EU.
The investments under the project are subject to the national and EU procurement provisions defined for entities operating in the water, energy, transport and postal services sectors.
