Germany - Biomass Cogeneration Plant Melsungen

M/s. HolzHeizKraftWerk Melsungen GmbH & Co. KG intends to construct a biomass-fuelled combined heat and power plant in the city of Melsungen financed by a Consortium under the leadership of Deutsche Anlagen Leasing (DAL).

The CHP has the following technical features:

3.5 MWel
9.8 MWth
33,000 t(atro)/year fuel consumption
21 MW fuel input

Overall investment is in the magnitude of 32.6 million Euros.

The produced heat and process steam will be fed into the network of a nearby company. The produced electricity will be fed to the public grid as per the German renewable energy feed-in tariff ("EEG").

M/s. HolzHeizKraftWerk Melsungen GmbH & Co. KG assigned Lahmeyer International GmbH as a Lender's Engineer and intec works as a subcontractor to Lahmeyer International.

Zambia - Feasibility Study for Small Hydropower Station

Kafue Gorge Regional Training Centre (KGRTC), established in 1989, provides quality training to regional power utilities. KGRTC intended to develop a small hydropower station at Kafue Gorge with ancillary transmission structures, termination and connection to the grid. The station has been constructed between the existing Kafue Gorge Power Station dam site and the tailrace of the Kafue Gorge Lower Hydropower Station, the size of the SHPP shall be a result of the present feasibility study. The feasibility study led to the preparation of a full basic design and of tender documents for the procurement of an EPC contractor.
