Conclusion of a contract for the reconstruction of the boiler at Konin power plant
On March 27, 2020, an agreement was concluded with Valmet Technologies, regarding the “turnkey” implementation of a contract for the design and conversion of a K-7 boiler into a fluidized bed boiler operating in BFB technology. The subject of the Agreement is the adaptation of the existing K-7 coal boiler, located at Konin power plant, to a BFB type fluidized bed boiler with stationary, bubble fluid bed, using biomass. The modernized 50 MWe installation will produce electricity and act as a backup for the currently operating biomass block supplying the city of Konin with heat. After the modernization of K-7 boiler, a power generation of approx. 100MWe (2x50MWe) using biomass as the basic fuel will be available at Konin power plant.
Pursuant to the concluded Agreement, the General Contractor's remuneration for performing the subject of the Agreement was set at the net amount of PLN 89.8 million, and the implementation period was set at 18 months from the date of conclusion of the Agreement.
Reconstruction of K-7 boiler is the main element of the entire project consisting in the adaptation of the installation previously used for the production of electricity from lignite for biomass combustion. The total estimated cost of the project is approximately PLN 180 million.
