Croatian state owned energy utility HEP plans to apply for a loan from EBRD for financing a new 195MEUR gas turbine-fired combined heat and power (CHP) plant.
The CHP plant should have total nominal electric power output of approximately 90-150 MW and will be built on the site of the EL-TO Zagreb cogeneration plant.
The new plant is intended to meet the demand for district heating of the city of Zagreb as well as a replacement for old units which will not meet the environmental requirements after January 1, 2018.
Tendering for the project is expected to begin in the third quarter of 2015.
HEP group owns and operates over 4,000 MW of installed generation capacity and 974 MW of heat production capacity, including 25 hydroelectric plants and eight thermal power plants fired by oil, natural gas or coal. , transmits serbia-energy.eu
