Environmental aspects
This operation intends to bring environmental benefits by supporting schemes that reduce energy consumption, increase the use of renewable energies and thus help to mitigate climate change. The individual schemes to be financed are likely to be small and are expected to have limited negative environmental impacts. The cumulated impact of sub-projects could instead generate important environmental benefits. The Bank will assess the promoter’s capacity and procedures to ensure compliance with national and European environmental and biodiversity regulations as well as its capacity to support the Bank's Public Disclosure Policy, which aims at facilitating access by the public to environmentally relevant information
Procurement
The majority of the schemes are expected to be developed by private entities that are not subject to EU Procurement Directives. For those schemes where public procedures would apply (e.g. public buildings or publicly owned residential buildings), the promoter will be required to confirm that procurement is carried out in line with the requirements for public sector projects under the relevant national and EU legislation, including publication in the OJEU as and where required.
