Benefits to Malpils
Malpils has been chosen as the site for this development as it is a growing township with increasing energy needs and a progressive and forward thinking township administration.
The development of the plant at Malpils will have a number of benefits:
- Malpils will enjoy green energy
- Heating costs will be lower than using biomass in a conventional boiler or any fossil fuel
- Waste management in Malpils will be the most advanced in Latvia
- New skilled and semi skilled jobs will be created in Malpils
- Visitors are expected to come to Malpils to see the plant which will help local tourism
- The area behind the old district heating building which was wasteland with the old oil tanks, has now been cleared and decontaminated and will shortly be developed with a modern, clean building.
