The Huelva plant will employ best available technologies and be similar to the Mérida power plant (pictured, left), which SENER also supplied turnkey for ENCE.

Due to the variety of types of biomass to be used, the plant will be equipped with an advanced fuel handing system, both for incoming biomass and for its preparation and storage. The plant, which will fully comply with new BREF emissions requirements, will include a reheater integrated into the furnace and a double casing steam turbine (HP and LP), plus multiple extractions. It is expected to achieve a gross efficiency of over 35%.
