Pinnapuram, India

ANDRITZ has received a contract from Greenko Energy Private Limited, an independent Indian power producer, for the supply of electro-mechanical equipment for the 1,200-MW Pinnapuram pumped storage plant in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh. Pinnapuram will be the largest pumped storage power plant in India and will be part of the first integrated renewable energy storage project combining electrical energy production based on photovoltaic solar, wind, and pumped storage. The contract includes design, manufacture, supply, transportation, erection, testing, and commissioning of four 240-MW units, two 120-MW reversible pump units, main inlet valves, and associated auxiliaries. This order not only confirms ANDRITZ’ strong position in the Indian hydro market, but also demonstrates the value of pumped storage technology, which plays an important role in providing grid stability to cope with volatile solar and wind power supplies.

Sambangalou, Senegal

ANDRITZ has received an order as part of a consortium with VINCI Construction for the supply of electro-mechanical equipment for the new Sambangalou hydropower dam in the Senegalese region of Kédougou, bordering Guinea. The ANDRITZ scope of supply comprises the complete “from water-to-wire” solution, including three Francis turbines with a total output of 128 MW, generators, and all other equipment required.
