Business Operations

Main products and services:
- Generation and supply of district heating to the Klaipėda municipal network (in cooperation with the local district heating network operator).
- Cogeneration of electricity for the Lithuanian power system.
- Thermal energy/steam supply for industrial customers in the Klaipėda region (as applicable).
- Waste-to-energy and biomass-based energy recovery with flue gas cleaning and environmental control systems.

Business model:
The company operates a CHP facility that monetizes multiple revenue streams: contracted heat sales into the district heating grid, electricity sales to the market, and (where applicable) gate fees for municipal/industrial waste used as fuel under energy-from-waste contracts. Long-term offtake arrangements and regulated/municipally coordinated heat supply frameworks underpin demand stability.

Market position:
UAB Gren Klaipėda is one of the key heat producers serving the Klaipėda district heating market, contributing to fuel diversification and greenhouse gas reduction by substituting imported fossil fuels with waste-derived and biomass fuels. As part of Gren Group, the company benefits from regional scale, operational know-how, and investment capacity.

History

Project development and commissioning (2009–2013): The Klaipėda CHP plant was developed during the late 2000s and commissioned in 2013. It was the first large-scale energy-from-waste CHP plant in Lithuania, designed to utilize municipal and industrial non-recyclable waste and biomass to generate heat and power.

Operations under Fortum brand (2013–2021): Following commissioning, the facility operated under Fortum’s Lithuanian subsidiaries, supplying the Klaipėda district heating grid and exporting electricity, while establishing reference performance for EfW technology in the country.

Ownership change and rebranding to Gren (2021–2022): In 2021, Partners Group acquired Fortum’s district heating businesses in the Baltics. The portfolio was rebranded as Gren, with Lithuanian entities (including the Klaipėda operations) adopting the Gren brand in 2021–2022.

Continued modernization (2023–present): The plant has focused on reliability, environmental performance, and integration with local waste management systems, while Gren Group has pursued selective growth and efficiency initiatives across the region.
