EANS-Adhoc: ANDRITZ HYDRO to supply propeller turbines for Lower Mattagami hydropower project, Canada

  ad-hoc disclosure transmitted by euro adhoc with the aim of a Europe-wide
  distribution. The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this
  announcement.
13.07.2010
Vienna/Graz, July 13, 2010.  International technology Group ANDRITZ 
has been awarded a contract by Kiewit-Alarie A Partnership to supply 
three propeller turbines and generators for the Lower Mattagami River
Project being developed by Ontario Power Generation in Ontario, 
Canada. The new units will be added to the Little Long, Harmon, and 
Kipling stations and will supply green energy to the Canadian grid as
from June 2014. The order value is approximately 100 MEUR.
ANDRITZ HYDRO´s scope of supply includes engineering, supply, and 
installation of three vertical propeller turbines (output 68 MW to 80
MW, diameter 6 m), three generators, as well as protection, control 
systems, governors, and excitation equipment.
The three hydropower stations each have a net head of approximately 
30 m; although this would normally be the range for using Kaplan 
turbines, in this case propeller turbines deliver the most favorable 
solution for the customer in terms of efficiency and durability due 
to the increased water flow rate of almost 300 m3/s and the highly 
robust equipment. Since acquisition of the hydropower business of 
General Electric (GE) in 2008, ANDRITZ has excellent know-how on 
development and manufacturing of this particular type of turbine, 
which is used frequently in Canada.
