The investment will be implemented in a turn-key formula and it is planned to be completed by the end of 2023.
The task consists in construction of a boiler house building with the its infrastructure, as well as construction, commissioning, and start-up of a modern and efficient biomass-fired boiler, a woodchip boiler, to be more specific.
The investment in construction of a biomass-powered boiler house has been the biggest investment in the history of our housing cooperative. In line with current climate and energy policy in Poland, we are working towards stabilisation and, perhaps, also lowering the cost of thermal energy supplied to our customers. The investment will ensure energy security and independence from prices and availability of coal on the market,” said the president of Świt housing cooperative in Ełk.
The agreement will be implemented by a consortium composed of Unibep SA (consortium leader) and Energotechnika Sp. z o. o. (consortium partner). Construction works will start in the third quarter this year and end in the fourth quarter of 2023.
“Construction of the boiler house for Spółdzielnia Mieszkaniowa Świt housing cooperative in Ełk based on thermal energy from burning biomass is an important and very necessary investment in terms of the current situation on the Polish energy market,” said President of the Management Board of Unibep SA Leszek Gołąbiecki. “We are glad that we have been chosen the General Contractor of this construction, which is interesting in terms of its implementation, also owing to the technologies it employs,” added the President.
