Summary sheet
The project is part of the Promoter’s on-going investment programme to upgrade and expand its gas and electricity distribution networks in its concession areas, in the Veneto region. The Promoter is also planning several investments in the renewable energy sector.
The project will enable the Promoter to cater for demand growth, reduce losses, and to improve the quality and the reliability of electricity and gas supply. It will also contribute to increasing the share of renewable energy in the electricity production using domestic hydro and wind resources.
Current information suggests that the project components 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. This will be further assessed during appraisal.
The Promoter is required to tender works, supplies and services contracts following procurement rules of relevant national and EU legislation, as defined by Dir. 2004/17/EC and Dir. 2007/66/EC, including publication in the EU Official Journal where appropriate.
