Le Cheylas, Isère, France – Generator rehabilitation In January 2025, ANDRITZ signed a contract with @EDF (Électricité de France) for the rehabilitation of the generator on Unit 2 at the Le Cheylas powerplant in Isère, France. The refurbishment project for this 270 MVA machine (bore diameter: 6,250 mm, iron height: 2,450 mm, weight: 235 tons) includes the engineering and the supply of a complete stator and pole coils. After the engineering and the manufacturing, our teams of specialists in Switzerland and Austria will also carry out the on-site installation of the new stator and the refurbished poles and perform the electrical and commissioning tests. We would like to thank our customer EDF for their valuable cooperation and for their trust. We also wish the best of success to all the ANDRITZ teams involved in this project. #andritz #Hydropower #RenewableEnergy #generator #rehabilitation #France #EDF #ForGrowthThatMatter

Massive 165-ton valves successfully delivered 🚢 to PSP Dinorwig, UK! Following the successful handover of the first two main inlet valves for the Dinorwig pumped storage power plant to the customer last year, a further four identical oversized valves, weighing an impressive 165 tons, were shipped together by ship to the UK at the beginning of 2025. This logistical feat underlines our ability to handle even the most challenging transport tasks reliably and efficiently. A big thank you to our dedicated team and our partners who made this success possible. 👏 The six pump turbines at Dinorwig have a total output of 1,728 MW. The pumped storage power station therefore plays a central role in ensuring the stability of the British electricity grid. ⚡The spherical valves, as shut-off devices, secure the flow of water to the pump turbines. The installation 🔧 of the four recently delivered main inlet valves will take place in parallel later this year. ANDRITZ is proud to have successfully completed the challenging transport and to make Dinorwig fit for the future with the upcoming installation and commissioning of these spherical valves. #Hydropower #RenewableEnergy #ANDRITZ #Dinworwig #PumpedStorage #PumpedHydro #transport

One of the key technologies at the heart of the energy transition is pumped storage hydropower plants.🔋These "green batteries" offer an efficient way of balancing the natural fluctuations of renewable energy sources and stabilizing the electricity grid, thereby ensuring a secure supply. An outstanding example of the use of this technology is the Ebensee pumped storage power plant in Upper Austria, which will be operated by @Energie AG. The construction of Energie AG's Ebensee pumped storage power plant is a major step toward climate neutrality 🌿 and achieving the climate targets for Upper Austria and Austria as a whole. The Ebensee pumped storage power plant is scheduled to be connected to the grid in 2028 and will supply about 280,000 households with green electricity. - On course of climate neutrality! ✅ 👉 Read more about Ebensee in Austria in our latest customer magazine HydroNews No.38, available online and in our Hydro News App for Apple and Android.

🌊 ANDRITZ powers the future: Seamless pumping mode operation for Bhira pumped storage unit! 🚀 Our journey with TATA Power began in 1997, when we first supplied the reversible pump turbine for the project. Over time, operational challenges emerged in pump mode functionality. In March 2024, as the OEM, ANDRITZ conducted an in-depth site assessment to optimize the operational sequence for full-load pump mode. Overcoming intricate technical hurdles, our expert team meticulously fine-tuned the system. The result? A resounding success! In mid-March, Bhira pumped storage unit’s pump mode operation was rigorously tested, and the machine delivered exceptional performance. The greatest reward is the trust and appreciation of our valued customers. At ANDRITZ, we don’t just provide solutions; we create success stories! 🚀 #andritz #hydropower #renewableenergy #ForTheChange #energy #india #Tatapower

🚀 Exciting progress at the Kembs hydropower plant in France ! 🚀 At the end of 2022, EDF (Electricité de France) asked ANDRITZ to replace the discharge ring on Group 3 at the Kembs site. This hydropower plant, built in 1933 on the Grand Canal of Alsace, plays a key role in the French energy infrastructure on the Rhine River. ANDRITZ was entrusted with the study, manufacturing, demolition, and installation of the new discharge ring. At the end of March, we reached a crucial milestone with the installation of the new discharge ring which was completed successfully and on time. 🗓️ This milestone marks a significant turning point for the continuation of the project. Technical data of the renovated group: • Propeller turbine, 6.82 meters ∅ • Nominal head: 14.2 m • Maximum flow: 245 m3/s • Maximum power: 28 MW 🤝 Thanks to our partners and teams! 🤝 A huge thank you to @EDF for their trust, as well as to our valuable partners: Saert for the demolition, Metalúrgica Gallega for the manufacturing, and of course, the entire project team for their exceptional and incident-free work.

Successful model testing of Jaguara, Brazil! The model tests for the modernization of the Jaguara hydropower plant were successfully completed at the laboratory in Linz, Austria. This phase was crucial to validate the design of the Francis runner, guide vanes and stay vanes, ensuring the reliability and efficiency of the developed solutions. According to Bruno Cateli, Project Manager, the tests simulated real and critical conditions, evaluating performance, cavitation, and hydraulic behavior, with precision ensured by modern dimensional controls. “Model testing is a critical step in the development of turbine engineering, allowing the simulation and validation of designed solutions by comparing experimental results with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analyses. The technical team from ENGIE, our contractor, monitored the entire process alongside experts and the CEO of ANDRITZ Hydropower Brazil, Dieter Hopf. Now, we move on to the manufacturing of the components, which will be installed at the plant starting in September 2025, with completion expected by 2028,” he explained. The project now advances to the manufacturing of the validated components, which will be installed in the four units of the Jaguara hydropower plant. Currently, around 45 team members are engaged in preparatory activities. #Hydropower #RenewableEnergy #ANDRITZ #TurbineEngineering #Modernization #turbine
