April 9, 2026: Valmet will supply its Valmet DNAe Distributed Control System (DCS) and safety solutions for a new waste-to-energy steam unit being built in Gliwice, Poland.
The system will be installed at the Green Energy Park project of PEC Gliwice Sp. z o.o. and ordered by an EPC consortium including Mostostal Zabrze Gliwickie Przedsi?biorstwo Budownictwa Przemys?owego, Oschatz Power and Przedsi?biorstwo Remontów Ulic i Mostów.
The advanced automation and safety system will help ensure safe, efficient and reliable operation of the multifuel energy facility while enabling better monitoring, data-driven optimisation and lower operating costs.
The new 25 MW thermal and 4 MW electric waste-to-energy unit will convert non-recyclable municipal waste into energy, producing more than 136,000 MWh of heat and 22,000 MWh of electricity annually. The project is expected to reduce coal consumption in the city by about 25,000 tonnes and cut CO? emissions by more than 43,000 tonnes each year.
According to Valmet, the system will integrate all plant processes—from fuel feeding to flue-gas treatment—while ensuring high safety standards and real-time monitoring. The plant is scheduled to be delivered to the customer between 2027 and 2028.
