GRAZ/VIENNA, DECEMBER 19, 2022. International technology group ANDRITZ has
received an order from CH. Karnchang (Lao) Company Ltd. to supply the
electro-mechanical equipment for the newly constructed Luang Prabang
run-of-river hydropower plant, Lao People’s Democratic Republic. The
contract amount is in the mid triple-digit million-euro range. The
contract will come into force in January 2023. Commissioning is scheduled
for the end of 2029.
The ANDRITZ scope includes design, manufacturing, supply, transportation,
erection, testing and commissioning of seven large Kaplan
turbine-generator units (203 MW output each) and three smaller units (18
MW each) including transformers, governors, control, excitation and
protection and SCADA systems as well as the electrical power and
associated auxiliary systems.
With a nominal capacity of 1,470 MW, the Luang Prabang run-of-river
hydropower plant will have an annual output of about 6,500 GWh and will
provide renewable energy to the electricity network of the Kingdom of
Thailand. The state-of-the art turbine-generator units at Luang Prabang
will feature oil-less turbine runners and a fish-friendly design which
significantly contribute to the environmental plant design measures of CH.
Karnchang.
By securing this prestigious contract, ANDRITZ will further consolidate
its leading position in the hydropower market in Laos and the whole
region.
