Environmental aspects

The hydropower project involves the creation of a reservoir with a water storage capacity greater than 10 million cubic meters. If located in the EU, the project would fall under Annex I of the EIA Directive, and is therefore subject to a mandatory EIA under the Bank's environmental policy. The national legislation also requires a mandatory EIA. The promoter has carried out comprehensive environmental studies involving public consultation. The project will not require resettlement and mitigation and compensation measures have been proposed to offset the effects on flora and fauna. These will be reviewed in detail during the appraisal with a particular focus on social impacts and the impacts on biodiversity.

Procurement

The promoter is a public utility and should adopt a procurement process for equipment, supplies and services (including civil works), following the Bank's Guide to Procurement for public sector activities, and publish in the OJEU the calls for tender for the main components and services.
