E.ON Sverige opened its Öresundsverket facility in Malmö, Sweden at the end of August 2009.

The Öresundsverket CHP plant will produce electricity to southern Sweden, thereby reducing emissions as coal-fired generation will not be required.

A turnkey contract for the Öresundsverket plant was signed with the consortium Hitachi Power Europe and General Electric.

As part of the contract General Electric provided a gas turbine for the E.ON plant, as well as a steam turbine and boiler.

The Öresundsverket power plant is now one of the most efficient in Europe.

The new Öresundsverket CHP plant will produce electricity and district heating for the city of Malmö.
