Valmet will modernize the turbine automation and control systems at Ennatuurlijk’s combined cycle power plant (CCPP) in Helmond, the Netherlands. The upgrade will boost operational efficiency, reliability, and safety while supporting Ennatuurlijk’s goal of achieving carbon neutrality.
The project involves a full replacement of the distributed control system (DCS) and turbine controls. Once completed, it will ensure stable combined heat and power (CHP) production and more efficient energy use.
“Valmet created a tailor-made solution that met all our needs,” said David Berghuis, Senior Asset Manager at Ennatuurlijk. “Their expertise, professionalism, and strong references in turbine automation gave us full confidence in this partnership.”
Johan Musch, Solution Manager at Valmet, added: “We’re proud to support Ennatuurlijk in this modernization. Our experience in turbine and power plant automation will help optimize performance, increase reliability, and improve overall efficiency.”
The 40 MW Helmond plant uses combined heat and power (CHP) technology to deliver both electricity and district heating. The project includes decommissioning an older gas turbine and modernizing a GE LM2500 DLE unit to meet future operational and environmental standards.
Valmet expects to complete the delivery by October 2026. The order was booked in the company’s Q3 2025 results, and its value remains undisclosed.
