The energy company Norrenergi has been commissioned to build a biofuel-fired district heat plant in northern Kymlinge. The installation will secure the supply of electricity and heat in growing areas within the municipalities of Solna and Sundbyberg. Furthermore, thanks to the plant, the municipalities can count with reduced emissions of carbon dioxide by 15 %, which is in line with the Parliament’s fixed objective for reduced emissions.
The municipalities of Solna and Sundbyberg have decided to commission their joint energy company, Norrenergi, to establish a biofuel runned heat-electric power plant in northern Kymlinge. The two municipalities have the highest population growth in Sweden and in order two meet the future need of heat, the establishment of the combined heat and power plant (CHP) will be essential. The CHP will secure the expansion of areas, where the municipalities are growing, such as Ursvik, Järvastaden, Frösunda, Ulriksdalsfältet, Solna stationsområde, Solna City and Karolinska. The CHP uses wood pellets instead of oil, which reduces the emissions of carbon dioxide with an estimated 350.000 – 400.000 t/year. The reduced emissions will be in line with the Parliament’s fixed objective for reduced emissions by 15 % until 2012. According to the City of Sundbyberg, the CHP will result in a profitable investment, with a pay back time, estimated to be 10 years with today’s energy prices. Also for the residents of Solna and Sundbyberg, the piece of business is going to be profitable. They will have access to the cheapest prices of electricity and heat in the region. A similar heat – electric power plant in the region of Stockholm is Fittjaverket.
