This case study aims to demonstrate that the EIB’s environmental and social (E&S) and transparency policies are insufficiently equipped to prevent the negative impacts of hydropower plants on sensitive ecosystems, in particular when the hydropower project (1) is financed via an intermediary bank and/or (2) is located outside of the EU. The case study focuses on the Ilovac small hydropower plant in Croatia, financed by the European Investment Bank (EIB) via the Croatian Bank for Reconstruction and Development (HBOR).
