The project involves environmental and related technical upgrading of the
Lithuanian Power Plant (LPP), located in Lithuania in the vicinity of the city
of Elektrenai about 50 km west of Vilnius. After closure of Ignalina Nuclear
Power Plant in 2008, LPP will become the main generator of electricity in
Lithuania. This requires environmental and related technical upgrading of the
LPP’s existing facilities. The project will help LPP meet national and EU
environmental requirements after the 1 January 2008 and improve its efficiency.
LPP comprises eight Units fired with gas, orimulsion (two units) and heavy
fuel oil. LPP’s installed total power generating capacity is 1800 MWe.
Currently Lithuanian Power Plant uses 5-6% of installed capacity. After
shutdown Ignalina Nuclear Plant loading of Lithuanian PP will increase about
ten times. The proposed Project will require the procurement of the following
goods, works and services (including consulting):
1) Five flue gas desulphurisation plants for nine boilers.
2) Low NOx burner systems for eight boilers.
3) Unit control systems for three 300 MWe Units, each consisting of one
duplicated boiler.
4) Rehabilitation of sixteen regenerative air preheaters
5) PMU consultant services,
AB Lietuvos Elektrine, has applied to the European Bank for Reconstruction and
Development (EBRD) for: (i) a grant from the Ignalina International
Decommissioning Support Fund (IIDSF); and (ii) a loan towards co-financing a
Project it plans to implement a the Lithuanian Power Plant (LPP) from 2004 to
2008.
There is a project summary document available for this project.
