The CHP park will be situated in the city of Kaunas, with the project being developed by joint venture called Kauno Kogeneracine Jegaine (KKJ), Fortum announced in March. The Finnish company said at the time that it would commit EUR 27 million directly to the project.

Baumgarte Boiler Systems, Konecranes Finland, LAB and Siemens will take care of the plant’s construction and will supply equipment under contracts worth a total of EUR 75 million.
