February 18th, 2010

The Swedish company EcoEnergy Scandinavia AB invites architect firms to a project competition regarding architectural design of a new Waste-to-Energy (WTE) plant in Donetsk, Ukraine. Besides signing of business contract, the winner will receive a cash prize of 10 000 €.

The Swedish company EcoEnergy Scandinavia AB has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the government of Ukraine and a number of municipalities to construct a number of Waste-to-Energy plants in Ukraine. Under the MoU, EcoEnergy will benefit from a number of incentives for renewable energy projects, developed by the government. The location for the first WTE plant will be in the city of Donetsk.

- We are very happy for the opportunity and are looking forward to provide Donetsk with renewable energy. Up and running, the WTE plant will receive local unsorted household, process the material and produce district heating and electricity. In that way we meet a growing energy demand, make use of household waste, reduce landfills and improve the regional environment, says Göran Svensson, CEO, EcoEnergy Scandinavia AB.

The WTE plant in Donetsk will be EcoEnergy's first in Ukraine. As such the recognition factor of EcoEnergy plants should be high and the company wants the WTE plant in Donetsk to be a reference plant using the highest standards.

- The architectural design of the WTE plant in Donetsk shall illustrate a landmark building, state of the art technology, environmental thinking and characterize an EcoEnergy plant. Therefore, we have invited a limited number of select architect firms. The participants are asked to design the shell and physical working environment of the WTE plant as well as the surrounding within boundary landscape and at the same time drafting guidelines for designing possible future plants in Ukraine, says Henrik Norström, Chief Investment & Financing Officer, EcoEnergy Scandinavia AB.

Submitted entries will be judged according to architectural design, function and logistics, implementation and total economy. The jury will make its decision in April 2010. Winner of the competition will, besides signing of contract regarding continued business after the competition, also receive a cash prize of 10 000 €.
