BNS – MW Power, a joint venture of the Finnish power technology suppliers Metso and Wartsila, will supply OU Helme Energia with a biomass power plant for combined heat and power production (CHP) in the town of Helme in Estonia, Kauppalehti reported.
The value of the order is over 15 million euros and the start-up of the plant is scheduled for the the third quarter of 2012.
The biomass power plant will utilize bubbling fluidized bed (BFB) technology and will run on a combination of spruce bark, chipped logging residues and wood chips or milled peat as the main fuels. The plant will produce 15 megawatts (MW) of heat and 6.4 MW of electricity, which will partly be utilized in the customer's own pellet factory and the rest distributed into the national grid.
OU Helme Energia is a subsidiary of AS Graanul Invest, a private capital based company active in bioenergy and renewable energy production. Today AS Graanul Invest is the biggest producer of pellets in the Baltic countries and with its high production volumes counts among the top five European producers.
MW Power, a Metso-Wartsila joint venture, provides medium and small scale power and heating plant solutions for sustainable energy generation.
