Environmental aspects
The programme includes high voltage schemes which fall under Annex I of the EIA Directive 2011/92/EU, mandating an EIA, and schemes which usually fall under Annex II of the same Directive, requiring the competent national authority to determine the need for an EIA. The vast majority of the schemes are expected to be reinforcements of medium and low voltage equipment and facilities with limited environmental impact.
Procurement
The Promoter is a public undertaking and is required to follow the procurement procedures set out in the public procurement Directive 2004/17/EC and the national regulations. It regularly publishes procurement notices in the OJEU. The Promoter’s approach to the procurement of works, goods and services will be evaluated during the appraisal.
