As a part of the planned investment, it will be built a gas-steam unit that will allow to achieve the gross power ranging from: 155-180 MWe electric power and about 160 MWt heat power, which will include:

  • 2-3 gas turbines with waste heat boilers equipped with afterburning system
  • thermal steam and extraction turbine.

In addition, it is planned to construct a heat accumulator with a volume of approx. 13 000 m3 to store the excess heat produced by the gas and steam unit in the form of hot water.

Educational activities

Investment activities will be complemented with a communication and promotion campaign and educational activities aimed at increasing knowledge of the Norwegian and EEA Grants and their objectives.
