Name and Location
Jelgava biomass cogeneration plant project, Latvia.

Client
Fortum Oji.

Project Description
The new power plant uses wood chips as fuel and replaces old natural-gas-fired heat production in Jelgava, thereby reducing the area’s carbon dioxide emissions by about 44 000 t.

The power plant has a production capacity of 23 MW of electricity and 45 MW of heat. The plant will produce an estimated 110 GWh/y of electricity and 230 GWh/y of heat.

The modern technology at the plant makes it possible to use also other solid renewables, such as peat and wood residues.

The new plant covers about 85% of the city’s district heating demand.

Value
€70-million.

Duration
Construction of the plant started in August 2011.

Latest Developments
The plant was inaugurated in September.

Key Contracts and Suppliers
None stated.

On Budget and on Time?
