GRAZ/VIENNA, NOVEMBER 23, 2023. International technology group ANDRITZ, a
leading company in the field of energy and environmental technologies, has
received an order from the Upper Austrian utility Energie AG to supply the
electromechanical equipment for the new Ebensee pumped storage power
plant. This groundbreaking project not only marks the largest single
investment by the energy utility, but also represents a significant step
towards climate neutrality.
The advanced pumped storage plant will act as a green battery by balancing
fluctuations in power generation from wind and solar plants, thus ensuring
security of supply for the population. It takes advantage of the
topography to store energy and make it available whenever needed.
Excess energy from renewable sources will be used to pump water from the
Traunsee lake into a mountain reservoir 500 meters higher up at Grosser
Sonnstein. When needed, the stored water will be released to generate
energy that would otherwise have to be produced from fossil sources.
ANDRITZ will equip the power plant with a 170-megawatt variable-speed
reversible pump turbine, the generator and related automation.
The groundbreaking ceremony took place in October 2023. Scheduled to start
commercial operation in 2028, the plant will be able to supply 280,000
households with green electricity.
Given the global increase in energy demand and the growing share of
volatile renewable energy sources, economical solutions for storing large
amounts of energy are critical. Pumped storage power plants currently
represent the most efficient method of storing large amounts of energy for
extended periods of time. They therefore play a key role in the clean
energy transition.
ANDRITZ is proud to be part of this pioneering project and to make a
significant contribution to a clean and sustainable energy future through
state-of-the-art equipment and expertise.
