New reserve boiler to secure energy supply for Mänttä mill
April 13 2010 Mäntän Energia, an energy company owned 45 percent by Metsä Tissue, is investing 3.1 million Euros in a 50 megawatt reserve boiler this spring. The boiler will secure stable energy supply for Metsä Tissue's mill in Mänttä.
The boiler will be transferred from M-real’s Lielahti mill to replace Mäntän Energia’s idle coal-burning reserve boiler in Mänttä. This replacement will ensure safe and undisturbed supply of heat and electricity to Metsä Tissue’s Mänttä mill, which consumes approximately 84 percent of the heat and 100 percent of the energy produced annually by Mäntän Energia.Work to transfer the boiler from Lielahti to Mänttä will begin in April. The system should be in place in October this year.
