Mondi recently announced the construction of a new biomass power plant at its integrated pulp and paper mill in Ružomberok, Slovakia. The new power plant will replace the existing bark boiler and is scheduled for completion in 2027. This investment will increase the mill’s energy self-sufficiency from 75% to 90%, providing a more sustainable and reliable energy supply for both the mill and the local community. Mondi SCP is currently supplying district heating in Ružomberok, and once the new power plant is operational, it will be able to further supply energy without relying on natural gas.
