Metso to supply biomass boiler plant to Porvoon Energia in Finland

Metso will supply Porvoon Energia with a biomass boiler plant for combined heat and power production (CHP) in the township of Tolkkinen, Finland. The boiler plant will be delivered by the Metso-Wärtsilä joint venture MW Power. The value of the order is below EUR 15 million and the order is included in Energy and Environmental Technology's Q4, 2010 orders received. The plant is scheduled to be ready during Q1, 2013.
