Aspects environnementaux

The proposed expansion was already foreseen at the time of the initial construction of the Sagunto LNG terminal and was included in the EIA that received approval from the Ministry of Environment in November 2002. During its actual planning phase it was screened for potential impacts on the environment by the competent authority in 2007, which decided that an additional environmental impact assessment is not required. The decision was made public in the Boletín Oficial del Estado in 2007.

Passation des marchés

In 2008 a procurement notice was advertised in the EU Official Journal and the national Boletín Oficial del Estado in order to establish a list of pre-qualified contractors for an EPC contract. The tendering procedure is in progress at present.
