Metso to supply biomass-fired power plant for Oskarshamn Energi in Sweden for green energy production

Metso Corporation's press release on September 23, 2013 at 11:00 a.m. local time

Metso will supply Oskarshamn Energi with a complete biomass-fired power plant
for combined heat and power production in Oskarshamn in Sweden. The start-up of
the plant is scheduled for winter 2015. The value of the order will not be
disclosed.

"There is great interest in district heating and our customer base since 2007
has grown far beyond our expectations. This has meant that production has
increased by 50 percent and that is one of the reasons that we now invest in a
new power plant. When the new plant is commissioned, almost 99 percent of
district heating at Oskarshamn will be produced with renewable bio fuels," says
Jöns Wahlström, Managing Director, Oskarshamn Energi.

Metso's delivery will include a complete power plant, including patented
BioGrate combustion technology, installation, training and commissioning. The
plant will have a thermal output of 17.2 MWth for district heating to the
municipality of Oskarshamn, a process steam output of 4 MWth to local industry
and an electrical output of 3.8 MWe. The plant automation will be based on Metso
DNA technology and Metso will also supply a flue gas condenser and a ventilation
system.

The plant will use local forest residues such as bark and wood chips as fuel.

"Metso has been working with Oskarshamn Energi for several years to find an
optimal solution for their increasing demand to supply district heating. We are
very satisfied that Oskarshamn Energi showed confidence in us and in our
modularized power plant solution. We are very proud to be chosen as supplier of
this plant, of which the Oskarshamn region will benefit for a long time," says
Mikael Barkar, Sales Director, Power business line, Metso.

The main part of the order is included in Metso's Pulp, Paper and Power third
quarter 2013 orders received. The automation system is included in Automation's
third quarter 2013 orders received.
