Valmet has secured a contract to provide a biomass plant to Göteborg Energi AB in Gothenburg, Sweden. Göteborg Energi is in the process of constructing a new facility, set to be operational by 2025, aimed at generating energy and district heat from renewable and reclaimed sources.

The financial details of this order will be included in Valmet's Q4 2023 orders received but have not been publicly disclosed.

Per-Anders Gustafsson, CEO of Göteborg Energi, emphasized the significance of this project, describing it as a milestone in their transition to district heating.
