5 EIA for the construciton of 400 kV OHL in Western Serbia

Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs) for the construction of 400 kV OHL in Western Serbia and reconstruction of Grid Substations Bajina Basta and Obrenovac, Serbia

In order to provide forecasted demand for electricity distribution, Serbian Transmission System Operator (Elektromreza Srbije - EMS) is reconstructing existing transformer substation and erecting a new double circuit 400 kV overhead line, connecting Grid Stations Bajina Basta and Obrenovac. The scope of the project includes OHL route planning, construction and operation of double circuit 400 kV transmission line from the substation Bajina Basta via the substation Valjevo 3, to the substation Obrenovac A. The project also involves construction of new or upgrade of existing OHL fields in the above mentioned substations.The scope of the project also includes planning, construction and operation of transformer substation Bajina Basta.

Two EIA studies have been assembled in order to analyze all positive and negative environmental impacts expected during construction and operation. The first EIA addressed construction of 400 kV line, while the second addressed necessary reconstruction of transformer substation Bajina Basta.

The studies have defined technical and organizational measures needed to be implemented in order to prevent or reduce negative impact on the environment and human health.
