Background

The 138 MW conventional block was commissioned on fuel oil in 1975 and converted to coal in 1982. There was a 49.5 MW topping gas turbine installation in 1986. In 1998, syngas was introduced into the fuel mix. In May 2012, a 50 MW syngas block went into operation. The plant runs on bituminous coal, refuse and biomass syngas, natural gas, and diesel oil.

In February 2016 owner Lahti Energia said it planned to mothball its Kymijarvi coal and gas power plant in June 2019.
