Engie has been awarded the construction and operation of a new biomass-based heat plant in Pamplona that will supply heat to 4,500 homes and several public buildings in the Navarre capital.
Promoted by the Government of Navarra, and in collaboration with the City Council of Pamplona, the new biomass-fired heat plant is the main investment and infrastructure of the “Efidistrict” energy rehabilitation project that the Navarra de Suelo y Vivienda (Nasuvinsa), the Navarre government body in charge of housing and urban development, has launched.
The infrastructure project as a whole requires a total investment of over EUR12.5 million (US$14 million). Nasuvinsa will invest EUR6.5 million (US$7.2 million), while Engie will contribute EUR6 million (US$6.6 million). The plant will operate for 25 years.
In the first phase, it will have a thermal production capacity of 14.5 MW and this will double to reach 29 MW in the second phase.
Forest biomass is estimated to cover around 90 percent of the fuel demand with fossil gas the remaining 10 percent not least during peak demand.
