Company Information

Graz (euro adhoc) - Graz/Vienna, March 19, 2014. ANDRITZ HYDRO, part
of international technology Group ANDRITZ, has received an order from
the utility company Lyse Produksjon AS to supply the
electromechanical equipment for the new Lysebotn II hydropower
station, Norway. The order value amounts to approximately 40 million
euros. Commissioning is scheduled for spring 2018.

The scope of supply includes two high-pressure Francis turbines (185
megawatts each), two generator units, hydraulic steelwork, and steel
linings. Due to the favorable reservoir situation, the generating
units for this underground hydropower station are designed for
frequent start/stop to optimize energy production. The technological
competence of ANDRITZ HYDRO to cope with the extremely high head of
665 meters was decisive in the award of this order.

Lysebotn II will replace the existing Lysebotn hydropower plant and
increase the annual energy production by 14% to reach 1.5
terawatt-hours.
