Company Information

Graz (euro adhoc) - Graz/Vienna, March 21, 2012. International
technology Group ANDRITZ has received an order - awarded to a
consortium led by ANDRITZ HYDRO - from Kalehan Enerji Üretim ve
Ticaret A.S. to supply and install electromechanical equipment for
the Beyhan-1 hydropower plant, Turkey. The order value for ANDRITZ
HYDRO is approximately 44 MEUR. Commissioning is scheduled for

The consortium´s scope of supply includes three turbine generator
units, transformers, switchgear, and the entire electrical equipment.
In addition, a small-scale hydropower unit will be supplied to
generate power from ecological water flows in order to preserve fauna
and flora.

With an output of 186 MW each, the three Francis turbines to be
supplied by ANDRITZ HYDRO will be among the largest of their kind
ever installed in Turkey.

Beyhan-1 is the first of four Kalehan Enerji hydropower plants

supply in this growth market region. Thus, another 1,250 GWh/a of
renewable energy from clean hydropower can be supplied to the Turkish
grid as from mid-2015.
