Print versionKlaipeda combined heat and power plant Fortum Klaipeda intends to move from biofuel and incinerate only waste. Fortum Klaipeda power plant, operating since spring 2013, is generating heat and electricity by incinerating sorted municipal waste, non-hazardous industrial waste and biofuel, reports LETA/ELTA, referring to Vakaru ekspresas.

Final consumer price would decrease if only waste was incinerated. However, the price would be determined by UAB Klaipedos Energija, which buys energy from several producers.
Fortum Klaipeda can satisfy up to 40% of Klaipedos Energija demand. Representatives of the public took part in the presentation of the environmental impact assessment report of Fortum Klaipeda power plant. They raised doubts whether waste producers – both companies and municipalities that are committed by contract to supply a certain amount of waste – are not going to be less interested in sorting waste, even though it should be a priority.
