As per section 1.4.2 (iii) of the Directive on Access to Information: "For Projects approved by Bank management where the Board of Directors has delegated the approval authority, the PSD shall be disclosed at the start of the relevant no-objection notification period to a member country of the Bank in accordance with Article 13 (iii) of the Agreement Establishing the EBRD."

Project Description

The project is designed to assist PKP Energetyka to achieve cost savings in operating costs and maintenance expenditure by financing two control and metering centres and the procurement of catenary maintenance vehicles.

Transition Impact

Expansion of competitive/market interactions in the sector: The proposed investment into remote power control will enable the Company to take advantage of the liberalisation of the Polish electricity market by allowing outsourcing to cheapest suppliers;
Contribution to market-based conduct and skills: Impacts include (a) transfer and dispersion of skills in the areas of business planning and procurement; (b) a strong demonstration effect in delivery and cost-enhancing technology which can be replicated in subsequent capital investment projects; and (c) setting standards for corporate governance and business conduct;
Contribution to the institutions and policies that support markets: EBRD has been involved with the Polish Railways sector since 1996. The Bank has been a strong advocate and subsequently active supporter of the railway reform programme and the railway sector has benefited to date from two EBRD-funded institutional strengthening loans for labour restructuring and financial restructuring. The reform programme has resulted in transforming the traditionally state-dominated enterprise into a commercially oriented holding group while EBRD, due to its long-term involvement in the sector, is now in a position to consider investing on market terms and conditions into commercially viable companies within PKP Group.

Environmental Impact

This project was screened in category B/0 requiring the preparation of an Environmental Analysis. The Analysis was prepared by independent consultants and submitted to the Bank and the sponsor for review. The analysis concluded and there would be no significant environmental impacts associated with the Bank's Investment. Care will nonetheless be taken to ensure that the procurement of goods and services will be in compliance with EU and national environmental requirements and that suppliers will exercise an acceptable level of environmental performance throughout their activities.

Technical Cooperation

None.
