Project Description

Montenegro has relatively abundant water resources given its relatively small size. Although two large hydropower plants produce 76 percent of electricity in the country, the total energy they produce (1,800 GWh) is only about 18 percent of the total hydropower potential. In case of SHPPs the utilisation of the potential is even lower. The Ministry of Economy of Montenegro (Ministry) is aware of the high unutilized potential and promotes utilization of hydropower potential through issuing concessions for SHPPs. During 2011 and 2012 the EBRD provided technical assistance (TCS 31577) to Montenegro to develop a Small Hydro Power Registry for Northern Part of Montenegro (Project) concentrating on small water streams with a potential installed output of up to 1 MW. This initial assignment led to 8 new SHPP being planned for construction, with two operational by the end of 2014. The Bank has now received a new request to support an enhancement of the Registry for the SHPPs of installed output between 1 and 10 MW in the territory of Central and Northern Montenegro. The planned TC will provide the Ministry of Economy, local municipalities and potential investment project sponsors with a fundamental decision making document that explains the possible methods of addressing the future use of hydropower potential on the territory of Montenegro and individual municipalities.

The Project is consistent with the Bank’s Sustainable Resource Initiative (“SRI”),, aimed at promoting the sustainable use of energy, materials and water resources. The Project is also consistent with the EBRD Strategy For Montenegro as approved by the Board of Directors at its meeting on 1 October 2013, which listed as one of the priorities to “invest in projects that improve energy security” where the role of SHPPs is very important.

Access to Information Policy (AIP)

The AIP sets out how the EBRD discloses information and consults with its stakeholders so as to promote better awareness and understanding of its strategies, policies and operations following its entry into force on 1 January 2020.

Independent Project Accountability Mechanism (IPAM)

If efforts to address environmental, social or public disclosure concerns with the Client or the Bank are unsuccessful (e.g. through the Client’s Project-level grievance mechanism or through direct engagement with Bank management), individuals and organisations may seek to address their concerns through the EBRD’s Independent Project Accountability Mechanism (IPAM).

IPAM independently reviews Project issues that are believed to have caused (or to be likely to cause) harm. The purpose of the Mechanism is: to support dialogue between Project stakeholders to resolve environmental, social and public disclosure issues; to determine whether the Bank has complied with its Environmental and Social Policy or Project-specific provisions of its Access to Information Policy; and where applicable, to address any existing non-compliance with these policies, while preventing future non-compliance by the Bank.

Please visit the Independent Project Accountability Mechanism webpage to find out more about IPAM and its mandate; how to submit a Request for review; or contact IPAM via email ipam@ebrd.com to get guidance and more information on IPAM and how to submit a request.
