New project for Andritz VA Tech Hydro 30. January 2008

Large Order in British Columbia

Peter Kiewit Sons Co., Richmond, British Columbia, Canada awarded VA TECH Hydro Canada Inc., a member of the Andritz VA TECH HYDRO Group, another large order for the supply of electromechanical equipment for the East Toba and Montrose water power plants situated approximately 190 km north-west of Vancouver, British Columbia. The order value for Andritz VA TECH HYDRO amounts to approx. 55 million CAD. The project is expected to be completed in 2010.

For each plant, Andritz VA TECH HYDRO will deliver two complete machine sets with a maximum output of 73 MW each for East Toba and 44 MW each for Montrose. The delivery includes six-jet Pelton turbines, digital speed governors, spherical valves, generators and excitation.

The two power stations will generate an average of 750 GWh of electricity per year which is sufficient to cover the electricity demand of 75,000 households and represents a saving of approximately 455,000 tons of greenhouse gases.

In the first half of 2007, Peter Kiewit Sons Co. had placed an order for the supply of electromechanical equipment for six hydro power stations in the Harrison Lake District. This successful cooperation is now strengthened and continued with this new order.
