Purpose of the Environmental and Social Impact Assessments
The EBRD is considering financing the modernisation programme of Termoelektrarna Šoštanj (TEŠ, or Borrower) which focuses on the replacement of four existing low efficiency units with a new state-of-the art supercritical 600 MW Unit 6 with full environmental protection systems (Project) constructed within the boundaries of the existing Šoštanj Power Plant in the city of Šoštanj, north-east Slovenia.
The proposed TEŠ’s modernisation programme will substantially decrease the environmental impact from its operations. More specifically, the Project will improve efficiency by increasing the production of electric energy per tonne of coal. It will also reduce specific CO2 emissions (tons of CO2 released per KWh produced).
Furthermore, the proposed modernisation programme will enable TEŠ to meet future environmental requirements as set out in the draft EU Industrial Emissions Directive (IED) expected to be implemented by 2012, replacing the existing Large Combustion Plan Directive and the Integrated Pollution and Prevention Directive. The new unit is expected to become commercially operational in 2015
