Background
Värtaverket power station began operations as a fossil fuel plant with coal- and oil-burning units. The plant's oil-fired CHP (combined heat and power) unit, known as KVV1, was commissioned in 1976.[9][10] The coal-fired unit, with a capacity of 120 MW, started up in 1990 and was retired in April 2020.[11]
In 2016, a new biomass-fired CHP (combined heat and power) unit began operating on the same site.[10][12] Known as KVV8, the new 130 MW unit was to be fueled with wood chips and other residual biomass from the forestry industry.[13][14]
Future plans call for conversion of the plant's original 226 MW oil-fired unit, KVV1, to run on biofuels.[9][14]
