[Environmental audits of high voltage objects from the viewpoint of investors].

The localization of high voltage objects, e.g., overhead transmission lines, under the spatial planning and environmental protection regulations is discussed. The most important elements of the localization procedure concerning high voltage overhead lines are presented. One of the elements of this procedure is the assessment of the investment environmental impact. The environmental audit is an essential document, in which this impact is described. It seems that its scope specified in the Environmental Protection Act is not adjusted to the specificity of line investments. This gives rise to some problems in preparing environmental audits for overhead lines, e.g., possible influence of high voltage lines on the Natura 2000 area zones. Several other related problems are also highlighted in this paper.
