AF AB, Sweden, reports that it has signed a consultancy contract with Holmen, Sweden, for that company's new bio-fuelled power plant being built at the Iggesund Paperboard mill in Cumbria, U.K. (the Workington Mill). The AF assignment includes project management, engineering procurement, and site construction and commissioning management services. The project begins immediately, with commercial operation scheduled for March 2013.

The new CHP (combined heat and power) plant will have an output of 50 MWe. After completion of the project, all power and steam generated for the mill will be based on renewable fuels, including fresh wood in the form of chips or logs, bark, and sawdust.
