Statkraft Energi AS has selected ANDRITZ to refurbish key components of the Svartisen hydropower plant in Norway.
This renewable energy project, with an order value in the lower double-digit million-euro range, is included in ANDRITZ’s order intake for 3Q25.
The 600-MW Svartisen plant, jointly owned by Statkraft and Nordland County Municipality, plays a vital role in Norway’s renewable energy landscape. Originally commissioned in 1993 and expanded in 2010, the plant harnesses glacier-fed water from Lake Storglomvatn to generate clean, renewable electricity.
Under the contract ANDRITZ will refurbish both Francis turbines (350 MW and 250 MW) and one main inlet valve. Advanced ceramic coatings will enhance wear resistance and extend service life of the turbines. Both units will be newly equipped with digital turbine governors. The contract also includes design, manufacturing, installation, and commissioning of the refurbished components and training of Statkraft personnel.
