Aspects environnementaux

The project concerns electricity transmission schemes (overhead lines, new substations and works in existing facilities) some of which will fall under Annex I of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Directive and will have to undergo an obligatory environmental impact assessment, while most of the remainder will fall under Annex II, which requires the competent national authority to determine the need for an EIA. The main impact that can typically be expected for a project of this nature relate to visual impact, vegetation clearance, electromagnetic fields, noise nuisance, impact on flying vertebrates and disturbance during construction. Environmental and social (E&S) aspects will be reviewed during appraisal to ensure alignment with Bank E&S requirements.

The Bank will require the promoter to ensure that contracts for the implementation of the project have been tendered in accordance with the relevant applicable EU procurement legislation, (i.e. Directive 2014/25/EU or Directive 2004/17/EC where applicable, as well as Directives 89/665/EEC , 92/13/EEC) as interpreted by the Court of Justice of the EU, with publication of tender notices in the Official Journal of the EU, as and where required.
