Combined heat and power plant, Sweden
Name and Location
Combined heat and power (CHP) plant, Stockholm, Sweden.
Client
Fortum Värme, a joint venture between Fortum and the City of Stockholm.
Project Description
The project involves the development of a new biofuelled CHP plant in Värtan, Stockholm.
The new plant will replace some of the existing heat production with the less expensive biofuel alternative and increase Fortum Värme’s total electricity production by about one-third.
The CHP plant will have a production capacity of 280 MW heat and 130 MW electricity. The yearly production of the plant is estimated at 1 700 GWh heat and 750 GWh electricity. The new CHP plant will be connected to Stockholm’s southern-central district heating network. The advanced boiler technique will enable Fortum to use a full range of solid biofuels and reduce the use of fossil fuels significantly. The plant will use forest biomass as fuel, which will increase the current use of bioenergy at Värtan from 45% to 70%.
Value
The project is valued at about €500-million.
Duration
Construction of the plant will start immediately and is planned to be commissioned in 2016.
