Construction of a new biomass-based combined heat and power (CHP) plant for Lahti Energia Oy
The project comprises the deployment of a combined heat and power biomass-fired plant at Kymijärvi in Lahti. The plant will provide electricity to the national grid and useful heat to the district heating system in the city of Lahti. The project will be implemented in two phases, with a separate investment decision for the second phase to be made later.
The project is undergoing a mandatory environmental impact assessment according to the EU requirements for this type of plant. The environmental impact statement was completed in June 2014 and an application for environmental permit was submitted to the competent authorities.
The Bank will require the promoter to ensure that contracts for the implementation of the project have been/shall be tendered in accordance with the relevant applicable EU procurement legislation (Directives 2004/18/EC and/or 2004/17/EC as well as Directives 89/665/EEC and 92/13/EEC) as interpreted by the Court of Justice of the EU, with publication of tender notices in the EU Official Journal, as and where required.
