Valmet to deliver biomass-fired boiler for 191 MW Naistenlahti power plant in Tampere

Valmet will deliver a biomass-fired boiler plant to Tampereen Sähkölaitos Oy’s Naistenlahti power plant in Tampere, Finland. The new Naistenlahti 3 boiler will replace the Naistenlahti 2 boiler that has reached the end of its technical lifetime.

The order is included in Valmet’s orders received in the second quarter of 2020. The value of the order is approximately EUR70 million (US$76 million). The boiler plant will be handed over to the customer at the end of the year 2022.

The Naistenlahti 3 plant will be fueled mainly by renewable biomasses, while milled peat will remain as a secondary fuel. With a steam capacity of 191 megawatts, it will run as a baseload plant for district heat production from September to June.
