The new power plant will use municipal and industrial waste as well as biomass to provide district heating to the residents and businesses in Klaipeda and electricity to the Lithuanian power grid.
It will have a capacity to generate about 60MW heat and around 20MW electricity and the plant is equipped with flue-gas condensers that allow the recovery of an additional 15MW of heat at peak demand times.
The power plant will replace old natural gas-fired heat production in Klaipeda and reduce CO2 emissions by about 100,000 tonnes per annum.
The plant will generate about 140GWh of electricity and 400GWh of heat per year, equal to about 40% of Klaipeda’s district heating demand.
