Austria's WBG to build biomass plant in Ihtiman

Thu, Jan 22 2009 10:13 CET byDnevnik.bg 1004 Views

Austrian company WBG has tested its four million euro biomass power plant, which will heat public and private buildings in the town of Ihtiman near Sofia, Ilko Yotsev, managerial agent of the firm's Bulgarian unit, told Bulgarian daily Dnevnik.

The facility would have a rated capacity of 3 MW that may be expanded to 10 MW and run on 10 000 tons of wood waste a year.

The investor has deployed an eight-kilometer heating distribution network and installed a cutting-edge plant room control technology. Heating would reach the first consumers within 10 days from testing completion, according to Yotsev.

Tariffs were estimated to be some 30 per cent lower than those of Bulgaria's conventional gas-fired heating utilities.

The company planned to have 20 MW of biomass energy capacities across the country to help reduce its dependence on gas supplies, Yotsev said. The new plant was being operated by local firm Bio Energy.
