The schemes and most of their ancillary infrastructure fall under Annex II of the EIA Directive 2011/92/EU as amended by Directive 2014/52/EU. All the schemes underwent an environmental impact assessment (EIA) process including public consultation. The plants and associated infrastructure obtained their environmental permits (Declaración de Impacto Ambiental - DIA) between May 2021 and January 2023.

Passation des marchés

The promoter has been assessed by the EIB as being a private company not being subject to EU rules on public procurement or concessions. However, if at the project appraisal, the EIB were to conclude that the promoter is subject to the EU public procurement legislation, then the Bank would require the promoter to apply those rules.
