Beneficiary: Municipality of Lębork

Donor: Switzerland represented by the State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO)

Project value: 11.638.194 CHF

Co-financing: no higher than 9.892.465 CHF

The Project consists in the construction of a biomass cogeneration plant working as the base load facility in the district heating system of the town of Lębork and cooperating with the existing heating plant KR-1 of the Municipal Heating Company (MiejskiePrzedsiębiorstwoEnergetykiCieplnej Sp. z o.o.). Completing the Project will result in making use of the mechanisms of support for the production of energy from renewable resources and high-efficiency cogeneration, with the use of local renewable fuel resources.

Main results of the Project implementation will be:

  • replacing coal with wood residues from forestry and wood processing industry and/or with straw in the part where it is justified by economy and the possibilities of obtaining such residues,
  • production of electricity and heat in cogeneration based on chemical energy contained in biomass,
  • reduction of the emission of greenhouse gases as well as harmful gases and dust,
  • keeping the heat prices low and counteracting against the tendencies of heat prices rising for the consumers of municipal heat from the district heating system.
