The UTE Imasa-Acciona Industrial has awarded MMYPEM the assembly of the turbine for Greenalia biomass power generation plant in Curtis.
The biomass plant is being built on a 103,000 square meter plot in the municipality of Curtis, in the province of La Coruña, Spain. The project will have an installed capacity of approximately 50 MW and will generate 324 GWh per year using approximately 498,000 tons of forest residues.
To produce biomass energy the Curtis power plant will use felling residues, a measure that fully contributes to the sustainability of nearby forests and to the prevention of forest fires, since it encourages the collection of small-sized wood waste otherwise discarded for industrial use.
Biomass power Curtis is expected to start operating in 2020. Once operational it will be the largest forest biomass plant in Spain and in the Southern Europe.
