Summary sheet
Investments to upgrade and expand the Promoter's electricity distribution network in the Autonomous Province of Bolzano (Sudtirol) and to extend the district heating network of the city of Bolzano.
The project will enable the Promoter to expand the electricity and district heating networks, reduce losses, and improve the quality and the reliability of supply.
Current information suggests that the project components will fall under Annex II of the Environmental Impact Assessment Directive (2011/92/EC), requiring the competent authority to determine the need for an EIA in line with the Directive. Environmental impacts are generally expected to be low and mostly limited to the construction phase. This will be further assessed during appraisal.
The Bank will require the Promoter to ensure that contracts for the implementation of the project have been/shall be tendered in accordance with the relevant applicable EU procurement legislation (Dir. 2004/17/EEC and Dir. 2007/66/EC), with publication of tender notices in the EU Official Journal, as and where appropriate.
