    This Canadian Gas and Electric Power Utility Plant is located in Alberta, Canada. The design includes two parallel wood fired packaged boilers. 25 MW of electric power is produced. The total boiler output is 226,000 lbs./hr. At design capacity, the plant utilizes approximately 950 tons of fuel per day, consisting of wood residue from sawmills. Power is sold to the utility grid while the nearby sawmill also receives steam and power.

    In 1990 KMW designed and supplied our first utility power plant in Kirkland Lake, Ontario at 13 MW. This project has three parallel biomass boilers yielding great operating flexibility. The original PPA was for 25 years which ended in 2015. At that time the owner did a comprehensive review of the status of this operation and concluded that with an availability factor still in the mid 90’s there was no need to shut it down. Instead, they negotiated an additional 15 Year PPA extension ending the year 2030.

    Biomass Facts

    Biomass is not fossilised material (like oil, coal and gas) but fresh material that can grow again after having been harvested.
