Summary sheet
Construction of a 86.5km-long gas pipeline from Überackern to Finsing in Bavaria
The project will allow for the replacement of more polluting fuels by cleaner and cheaper natural gas in the residential, commercial and industrial sectors.
The project falls under Annex I of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Directive 2011/92/EU (amended by Directive 2014/52/EU). The respective assessment reports, including Flora Fauna Habitats (FFH) assessments, were submitted to the authorities in 2013 and disclosed to the public in 2014. The promoter expects the EIA procedure to finish around mid-2015.
The promoter will follow public procurement procedures according to the relevant EU directives. Main procurement activities are planned to take place in 2015.
