Metso Power will supply for the power plant a power boiler (124 MWth) which will utilize bubbling fluidized bed technology and will burn biomass, like bark and forest residues to produce electricity to the national grid and steam for the paper mill.

As a part of this delivery Metso will also supply the external fuel handling for the boiler, flue gas cleaning system and plant's automation and information management system.
