Summary sheet
The project is part of the promoter's investment plan to extend the gas distribution networks in its concession areas in the north of Portugal for the period Q3 2016-Q4 2019.
The project will enable the shift from more expensive and polluting fuels, bringing environmental benefits and potentially lower energy costs. The project will be located in less-developed regions.
Based on current information, the planned investments fall under Annex II of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Directive 2011/92/EU (amended 2014/52/EU), leaving it to the competent authority to decide on the need for an EIA.
The investments under the project are subject to the national and EU procurement provisions defined for entities operating in the water, energy, transport and postal services sectors.
