Environmental and Social Summary
Category A (ESP 2014). An ESIA disclosure package was disclosed by the Sponsor in July 2018. No material questions or issues have arisen during the consultation process.
An independent consultant was retained to undertake Environmental and Social Due Diligence (ESDD) of the Project and the consultant has worked with the Sponsor and their adviser's to develop the ESIA disclosure package. ESDD confirmed that the Project will have limited impacts on any protected area, and environmental and social issues are site specific and readily identifiable and mitigated. The Project is structured to comply with the EBRD Performance Requirements and National and EU environmental legislation.
The ESDD also confirmed that the Sponsor has been implementing Environmental and Social best practice and has the institutional capacity to fully implement the Bank's Performance Requirements. ESDD further identified additional measures to be implemented as part of best practice and which have been included in an agreed ESAP. These comprise, inter alia, additional monitoring and the appointment of an independent expert to monitor and re-evaluate any bird and bat impacts, as well as support the Sponsor in the assessment of additional cumulative impacts. It should be noted that during the ESIA preparation, some wind turbine locations were changed in order to reduce impact on birds and noise impact to local residents.
The Project will not be associated with any physical displacement and a detailed assessment is presently being conducted on economic displacement impacts. A Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program is also being developed and agreed with the Client to plan and carry out impact investments in local communities.

The Bank will monitor the implementation of the Project.
