Four new steam and power generation units with an installed capacity of 450MW thermal, and 30MW electrical, will be set up at the plant.

The firms intend to turn the power-generating facility operational by 2018. The units will run on side streams from the refineries and natural gas, with asphaltene being the main fuel.

The plant has been planned to be in compliance with updated environmental regulations, including the European Commission’s Industrial Emissions Directive (IED).

Veolia Services Suomi will be responsible for the operations and maintenance of the facility under a 20-year contract with KPP, which has an estimated worth of €350m.
