Project description
and objectives:
|
The proposed project would involve loan to Surgutsky Rayon, a municipality in
the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug (the Okrug). The project would focus on
priority investments to improve municipal district heating, water and
wastewater infrastructure facilities and services in small settlements of
Surgutsky Rayon. The project would also finance institutional strengthening of
integrated municipal services company established in the due course of project
implementation.
|
Transition
impact:
|
The proposed project follows the successful project in the City of Surgut
currently under implementation. The project is likely to have significant
demonstration effect as it will be the first project in municipal services
sector, which will be co-financed by the local commercial bank. The transition
potential of the operation relates to establishment of an integrated operating
company providing services to settlements of the Surgutsky Rayon on a basis of
an incentive based Service Contract. The project will also contribute towards
strengthening of corporate governance standards in operating company through
introduction of IFRS for financial reporting.

The client:
|
The municipality of Surgutsky Rayon will be the Borrower. The Khanty-Mansi
Autonomous Okrug will provide a guarantee to support the project.

EBRD
finance:
|
The loan up to RUB 810 million (equivalent to ~ EUR 23 million) to Surgutsky
Rayon.
|
Total project cost:
|
RUB 1,400 million (equivalent to ~ EUR 40.5 million)
|
Environmental impact:
|
The project has been screened B/1 requiring environmental analyses of the
proposed multi-sector municipal services development programme.
The environmental analysis indicates that the project would have a positive
overall benefit on public health and the environment. The operation will
enable the Surgutsky Rayon to (i) reduce pollution of the drinking water by
upgrading its water treatment facilities and distribution network; (ii) reduce
pollution of the local rivers by rehabilitation of wastewater treatment
facilities and collection network; (iv) reduce greenhouse gas emissions from
the heating plants by increasing efficiency heating systems and upgrading
boiler houses. The project will meet Russian environmental, health and safety
standards and will contribute towards achieving compliance with relevant EU
environmental standards.
Temporary environmental impacts may be generated during construction and
land-take, such as increased level of noise, dust and traffic (in the
settlements). Such temporary impacts, however, will be minimised through the
incorporation of good management practice including forewarning and signing of
works, restriction of working hours, development of traffic management schemes
offering alternative routes to traffic and pedestrians, etc.
