Jelgava biomass cogeneration plant project, Latvia
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.
