Description
Objectives

Construction and operation of three wind parks in the Austrian Federal State of Lower Austria. The project has a total capacity of 39MW.

The development of wind energy supports EU and national targets for renewable energy generation and contributes to the Bank's renewable energy and energy efficiency objectives. The project further contributes to the Bank's priority objectives for climate action.

Environmental aspects
Procurement

Wind farms generally fall under Annex II of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Directive 2011/92/EU. Here, authorisation of both wind farms was subject to an EIA. Some turbines are located close to sites of nature conservation interest.

The promoter is a private company operating in a liberalised market. It is therefore not covered by EU directives on procurement.
