“We have been able to use experiences from earlier similar type of projects in the design. The plant will fulfil tightening environmental requirements by utilising efficient firing technique.
“This is an important order for our energy business and we estimate the employment impact to be about 1,000 years including both Valmet's own and subcontractors' work. For Valmet, the main employment impact will be in Tampere and Ulvila in Finland.”
The new plant will supply power to meet the needs of the city of Copenhagen. The order will be included in Valmet's Q3, 2016.
This investment is in line with the climate plan of Copenhagen, which aims to become the first CO2-neutral capital in the world by 2025.
