Aspects environnementaux

According to the regional legislation (Ley 11/2003) an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) will be required for plants with a thermal capacity of over 15 MWth, which may be the case in some schemes. The schemes’ thermal input capacity is expected to be below 50 MWth, which means that the IPPC’s EU Directive on industrial emissions (2010/75/EU) does not apply. During the appraisal the Bank will assess, among other things, the environmental capacity of the promoter and compliance of the biomass supply with the EU sustainability criteria.

Passation des marchés

The Bank will require the promoter to ensure that contracts for the implementation of the schemes shall be tendered in accordance with the relevant applicable EU procurement legislation (EU Directives 2004/17/EC and Dir. 2007/66/EC), with publication of tender notices in the EU Official Journal, as and where appropriate.
