Zvolenska teplarenska, a.s. project

Sector: Municipal and environmental infrastructure.

Description: The International Investment Bank (the “IIB” or the “Bank”) is considering to provide a loan of up to EUR 30,9 million to the Zvolenska teplarenska, a.s. (“Company”) in the City of Zvolen (“Zvolen” or the “City”), located in the Central Slovakia.

The Bank’s financing is aimed to replace existing coal-powered CHP plant ceased to meet emission limits with wooden biomass fired heating plant including rehabilitation works, supply and installation of biomass and gas boilers. The Company plans to construct a new biomass-based district heating plant of total capacity currently planned at 77.5 MWt consisting of several heat-only boilers. The new DH plant will be located in already existing, but unused building on the main land of the Company near the existing heating plant and will be connected to the existing heat distribution network.

The rationale for the investment stems from the need to decrease the emission of SO2, NOX and dust in accordance with Directive 2010/75 / EU of the European Parliament and Decree of the Ministry of the Environment of the Slovak Republic No 410/2012. Continuing operations requires rebuilding the plant and installing modern technology, making it operational no later than on 30.6.2020. Since that date, the Company will no longer be able to use coal for heat generation because of regulatory constraints.

All contracts tendered under the project which are to be financed from Bank’s loan proceeds, will be executed according to the Bank internal procurement procedures compliant to the best international practices (in this case EBRD Procurement Policies and Rules or equivalent).
