Summary

While an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) most often focuses on the effects of a proposed development, the Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) aims to anticipate the effects of new developments on the environmental resources, sustainability and stakeholder needs in an area at a more conceptual stage. The TB presents the general concepts of SEA and provides guidelines and recommendations for SEA in the power sector.
