Ruukki to Provide Steel Frame for New Power Plant in Estonia
05/23/2012 - Rautaruukki has signed a contract with Alstom Power to deliver the steel frame for a new power plant in Narva, Estonia. Ruukki will supply the steel frame structures for the boiler, with the potential for a second unit.
Rautaruukki has signed a contract with Alstom Power to deliver the steel frame for a new power plant in Narva, Estonia. In the first stage of the project, Alstom will supply one 300-MW Circulating Fluidized Bed (CFB) and Ruukki will supply the steel frame structures for the boiler, with a potential opportunity for a second unit.
When completed, the new power plant is expected to provide a significant share of Estonia's domestic electricity consumption and enable Estonia to meet the emissions reductions required under the EU's Large Combustion Plant Directive (LCPD). The new power plant will be fired by locally sourced oil shale.
Ruukki's structures will be made at its plants in Poland and Finland, and deliveries are scheduled for completion during the first quarter of 2013.
"Ruukki is focusing on frame and envelope construction in the energy production segment, which is a growing market and focus area for Ruukki. Stricter efficiency and environmental requirements for power plants are resulting in a considerable number of power plant investments in the Nordic countries, Central Eastern Europe, and the Baltics. We can be involved in these investments as a frame and façade provider," said Sami Eronen, SVP, Building Projects at Ruukki Construction.
Ruukki provides its customers with energy-efficient steel solutions for better living, working, and moving. Ruukki operates in about 30 countries and employs around 11,800 people. Net sales in 2011 totaled EUR 2.8 billion.
