Poyry has been awarded implementation engineering services by Stora Enso Oyj for a combined heat and power plant project in Poland. The value of the contracts is totally about EUR 3.3 million.
Stora Enso is investing EUR 137 million in building a new power plant at the Ostroleka Mill site in Poland. The power plant project is scheduled to start immediately and to be completed in the third quarter of 2010.
The new power plant, which will be able to use multiple fuels, will improve Ostroleka Mill’s energy self-sufficiency and energy efficiency, thereby reducing carbon dioxide emissions. The aim is to increase the bio-fuel usage depending on its availability. With the new power plant, the self-sufficiency of the mill will be about 65% in electricity and 100% in steam production. The power plant investment will further improve the cost competitiveness of Stora Enso’s operations in Poland. Ostroleka Mill does not currently have its own power plant.
