With this plant Alpiq is bidding negative grid frequency control power into the Swiss Power grid. The energy is used for steam production and is delivered to a nearby Paper Mill.
Alpiq has performed the complete project from project planning to commercialization. The Steam Plant has been constructed and built by Kraftanlagen München in close cooperation with the boiler supplier PARAT Halvorsen AS.
The plant consists of 2 x 11 MW IEH Steam Boilers with superheaters.

Alternatively it can be used to generate process steam for industrial purposes. This is in line with Alpiq’s strategy of applying innovative approaches to open up new business opportunities on the energy markets.
