Stockholm, Exergy can not keep the promise to stop with the coal 2022

two years ago, Stockholm Exergy to koleldningen in Värtaverket would be settled early. The owners, with finansborgarrådet Karin Wanngård (S) in the tip, was hoping to kolstoppet would inspire other cities.

– We will be able to phase out coal by 2022, which is faster than the previous calculations. Stockholm will continue to go ahead in the area of climate change and inspire other cities to follow suit, said Karin Wanngård then in a comment.

to biofuels has not gone smoothly. Coal still accounts today for 11-15 per cent of Stockholm's electricity and district heating. The old co-generation plant in Värtan, KVV6, fired with coal and olivkärnor, can't blend more biofuel in the mix. Last year had the new biokraftvärmeverket, KVV8, to burn both coal and oil because of skogsflisbrist in the Baltic countries.

another concern is that biokraftverket in Lövsta, which will replace KVV6, have not even begun to be built. The detailed development plan is not approved and should be out for consultation now for the first of april. In a DN interview in the beginning of march, the company that Lövsta is clear the earliest 2023-2024.

to the Land and environment court flag now Stockholm Exergy for coal is not going to be quite a gobject 2022.

”most Likely, KVV 6 to be left behind as any kind of beredskapsreserv for electricity and district heating production even after 2022. It is currently difficult to predict the extent of this reserve will be utilised. But the greatly reduced run times compared with today's levels is to be expected after 2022.”

the Stockholm city politicians on the bed. All parties except the SD now requires an opinion in the environment & health committee that the company explains.

”This is worrying. We want to stress that inriktningsmålet to phase out coal use by 2022. If there is a risk that deviations required from the target in order to ensure the production of district heat, it should soon be anchored by the city's government and the relevant administrations.”

According to the Stockholm Exergis ceo, Anders Egelrud the target is fixed.

" We still have road maps to phase out coal by 2022. We have a clear roadmap to replace the old plant with a new chp plant at Lövsta. We shall also interconnect the whole system and tear Hässelbyverket, " says Anders Egelrud.

– When you are phasing out a fuel close to not plant until you see that the whole system works. Therefore, KVV6 to remain a year so we know that all of the plants we are phasing out works. We have a leveranssäkerhetsansvar.

– It is a problem that the licensing process and can take a very long time. We really need a good process with the city so that we get all the permits and can keep the schedule. When we have interconnected the system so we can use the Hässelbyverket partly to support the centre of Stockholm. Then we can clear us to Lövsta is in place.

– Yes, when there is a total lack of fuel in extreme conditions. It can happen, not often, maybe every ten, every twenty years, depending on weather conditions. Like last year when there was biobränslebrist in the Baltic countries. Then you need to take into särbränslen. It should not equate with a continuous operation, it is rather a form of emergency to guarantee security of supply.

" No, the company has not made a decision on no to kolinköp in perpetuity. But we have a bias to phase out all fossil fuels. We will do this. And the carbon is first.

– It is in crisis situations and for effektgarantin to Stockholm. It is marginally, maybe a number of hours, any time, any year, when it is the coldest in Stockholm, " says Anders Egelrud.

Miljöborgarrådet Katarina Luhr (MP) contacted a week Stockholm Exergy in order to clarify the situation.

" I have talked with Stockholm Exergy, and I get no other signals than the carbon is to be removed by 2022. It is also inriktningsbeslutet located, " says Catherine Luhr.
