  Disclosure announcement transmitted by euro adhoc. The issuer is responsible

28.11.2008
Graz/Vienna, November 28, 2008. Andritz VA TECH HYDRO, a member of 
the international technology Group Andritz, has received an order 
from Madeira Energia S.A., Brazil for the supply of equipment, 
erection and commissioning supervision for the Santo Antônio 
hydropower plant to be built in Brazil. The order value amounts to 
approximately 250 MEUR.
The Santo Antônio hydropower plant, which is part of the Madeira 
River Complex, consisting of Santo Antônio (3,150 MW) and Jirau 
(3,300 MW), will be built on the Madeira River and will contribute to
meeting the country´s strongly growing electricity demand.
The hydropower plant will feature 44 generating units including the 
most powerful bulb type turbines in the world (72 MW each), of which 
Andritz VA TECH HYDRO Brasil and recently acquired Andritz Hydro 
Inepar do Brasil will supply 12 turbines and 12 generators as well as
24 voltage regulating systems for the generators. The first unit is 
scheduled to start operation by mid-2012.
Bulb units are particularly suitable for low heads and thus for 
hydroelectric projects that utilize large water flows, such as in the
Madeira River. These units provide high efficiency, since they remain
entirely submerged in the water, thus being capable of handling large
water flow variations.
