Aspects environnementaux
The various sub-projects under the programme are expected to have technical characteristics corresponding to Annex II of the Directive 85/337/EC and its amendments. The promoter confirmed the investments to be located primarily within populated areas with no particular environmental sensitivity. Like in Europe individual EIAs are not required for the expansion of existing gas distribution grids if certain technical characteristics are not exceeded, as the case here according to the promoter.

Passation des marchés
Gas distribution in the State of São Paulo has undergone a privatisation process in 1999 after wide international competition among suitable companies and consortia. The promoter won the process and the related concession. Procurement follows in-house procedures that require interested companies to pre-qualify for required works, equipment and services.
