Could energetika Ljubljana be a waste-to-energy facility?

Energetika Ljubljana also has a large thermal consumption capacity, which potentially allows for construction of a waste-to-energy facility in central Slovenia in compliance with today's energy efficiency norms and the most demanding ecological standards.

When did electricity start in Ljubljana?

Electricity production in Ljubljana began as early as 1898 in the so-called Old Power Plant on Slomškova Street.

What happened to Ljubljana's old power plant?

The old power plant in Ljubljana was converted into a boiler house in 1961, replacing some of the individual heating facilities in the city centre. Since 1966 it has been replaced by the new Thermal Power Plant (TE-TOL) at the Moste site.

Which coal-fired unit will be installed in Ljubljana?

Installation of the first coal-fired unit UNIT-1, with an electrical capacity of 42 MW and a 94 MW heat station for heating the city of Ljubljana. IBE produced the project documentation and advised the client on solutions. Installation of the second coal-fired unit UNIT-2, with the same parameters.

How has technology adapted the heating system in Ljubljana?

The technological equipment of today's facilities is adapted to the role in the heating system of the city of Ljubljana, where the Moste site covers about 90% of district heating needs. The base was formed by three coal-fired units, which were adapted to operate with a more environmentally acceptable fuel during the course of their operation.

What is TPP Ljubljana based on?

A large heat storage facility has also been built to optimise heat and electricity production. The further development of TPP Ljubljana (TE-TOL) and Energetika Ljubljana is based on the production of heat and electricity from two gas turbines in a closed cycle.
