Summary sheet
The project comprises investment schemes in the electricity distnbution network in Western Poland.
The programme will enable the promoter to cater for demand growth, reduce losses, connect new end-users and also renewable generators and improve the reliability and quality of electricity supply in a "less developed region", as defined by the Commission Implementing Decision 2014/99/EU. The programme is therefore eligible under Article 309 point (a) projects for developing lessdeveloped regions and point (c) common interest. The financing of the programme will also contribute to the ElB's lending priority policy ("energy networks" priority) and priority policy on cohesion.
Some of the programme schemes may fall under Annex II of the EIA Directive (2011/92/EU) that requires the competent national authority to determine the need for an EIA. The impacts that can typically be expected for these schemes relate to visual impact, vegetation clearance, impact on flying vertebrates, electromagnetic fields, noise, and disturbance during construction. Environmental impact assessments will be carried out as applicable and mitigating and/or compensation measures will be applied as necessary.
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/EC and Dir. 2007/66/EC [amending Directives 1989/665/EEC and 1992/13/EEC]), with publication of tender notices in the EU Official Journal, as and where required.
