Porr and Termomeccanica Ecologia Secure Major Deal for Thermal Waste Treatment Facility
Austrian construction group Porr, together with Italian engineering specialist Termomeccanica Ecologia, has signed a €165 million contract to build a new thermal waste treatment plant at the Włocławek Energy Center in central Poland. The project, awarded by EnergiaNova — part of PreZero Polska — will run for 29 months and represents the consortium’s third major waste-to-energy installation in Poland, following earlier projects in Rzeszów and Gorlice.
Scope of the Project
The consortium will develop six buildings along with a full range of supporting infrastructure on a plot located near the Municipal Heat Energy Company on Zielna Street.
The technological scope includes:
-
fuel extraction and storage systems
-
a waste-to-energy boiler
-
flue gas cleaning technology
-
a steam turbine
-
slag storage facilities
-
auxiliary mechanical and electrical installations
Porr and Termomeccanica Ecologia will be responsible for the complete delivery cycle: detailed design, construction, commissioning and final handover.
Capacity and Expected Output
The plant is designed to process 90,000 tonnes of non-recyclable waste per year, turning it into valuable energy. Its output is projected at:
-
700,000 GJ of heat annually, all of which will be supplied to the municipal district heating network
-
45,000 MWh of electricity per year, which will be fed into Poland’s National Power System
Cutting Coal Use and Improving Air Quality
The project is a key component of Włocławek’s broader strategy to modernise its district heating infrastructure, reduce coal consumption and improve air quality for its roughly 100,000 residents. By converting non-recyclable waste into usable heat and power, the plant will help strengthen local energy security while supporting Poland’s ongoing shift toward cleaner, more efficient energy sources. |
