Dama Solar Power Project, Romania
The Black Sea Trade and Development Bank (BSTDB) is considering providing financing to West Power Investments S.R.L., the SPV established to develop the Dama Solar Power Project (“the Project”) of total installed capacity of up to 1,044 MW, to be located in the area of Arad County, Romania. The SPV is majority owned by Rezolv Energy s.r.o. – an independent renewable energy producer.
As per the BSTDB’s Environmental and Social Policy and Public Information Policy the Project, due to its large capacity, and location within two Natura 2000 sites, has been screened environmental and social (E&S) Category A. This requires a full Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) process, including meaningful public consultation, and public disclosure on the Bank’s webpage of any E&S information relevant to the Project. Such information will be disclosed at least 30 calendar days for private sector operations before the Project is submitted to the BSTDB Board of Directors for consideration. Thus, any stakeholder directly or indirectly affected by the Project, or having an interest in it, can review such information, make enquiries, and provide comments. This, however, does not substitute for the obligation of SPV to identify stakeholders affected by, or interested in the Project, and communicate with them in a meaningful way.
The following documents are available for public review and comments:
- Environmental and Social Impact Assessment
- Non-Technical Summary
- Stakeholder Engagement Plan
- Environmental and Social Action Plan
- Supplementary Lenders Information Package
- Biodiversity Impact Assessment and Baseline reports (Annex of the Supplementary Lenders Information Package also disclosed separately)
- Critical Habitat Assessment
- Construction Environmental and Social Management Plan
- Biodiversity Action Plan
- Livelihood Restoration Plan.
