Summary sheet
Gas Natural SDG SA
Reinforcement and extension of the gas distribution network in several Spanish regions, including convergence areas, during the period 2011-2013.
The project will enable the upgrading and expansion of the gas distribution and local transmission infrastructure in several regions, thus strengthening the capacity to meet market growth and peak demand requirements. The major components of the project are: the construction of ca. 800 km of high pressure and 8 000 km of medium and low pressure gas pipelines. In addition, investments in information systems and to enhance asset integrity e.g. by procuring new plant and equipment, and enhancing leakage control systems are contemplated.
Some of the subprojects will fall under Annex II of the Environmental Impact Assessment Directive (85/337/EEC as amended in 1997 and 2003), requiring the competent authority to determine the need for an EIA in line with the Directive.
The promoter is required to tender works, supplies and services contracts following 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.
