Summary sheet
Replacement, upgrading and extension of the promoter's gas distribution network and installation of smart metering systems throughout the network, largely located in the Tuscany region
The project should increase network and community safety, improving reliability and reducing the occurrence of leakages. The installation of smart meters will allow easier access to real-time consumption data, thus potentially enabling better demand management and efficiency gains in network management.
It is not considered likely that any of the investments will require environmental impact assessments, but this will be reviewed during appraisal.
The promoter is required to tender works, supplies and services contracts following the procurement rules of relevant national and EU legislation, as defined by Directive 2004/17/EC, including publication in the Official Journal of the EU where appropriate.
