Umweltaspekte
The project has undergone an environmental impact assessment (EIA), which included public consultations and consideration of the transboundary context. The main potential impacts are primarily temporary and related to construction activities, such as air emissions, noise, dust, health and safety risks, hazardous materials and waste, and workers’ exposure to harmful substances. During the operational phase, potential impacts include thermal pollution, stress under drought conditions, and emissions during normal operation and accident scenarios. However, with mitigation measures in place, including good construction and operational practices, monitoring and remedial actions, the environmental effects are not considered significant. The project also offers environmental benefits by avoiding CO₂ emissions through continued stable baseload low-carbon electricity generation. The competent authority issued its decision in July 2025.
