French manufacturer Alstom has been selected to refit the Tysso 2 hydro plant for Statkraft in Norway.
As per the contract, Alstom will be responsible for the supply, installation and commissioning of control systems, station transformers, local distribution systems, circuit breakers and 72kV cabling for the site’s two generators.
Completion of work at the facility in Skjeggedal, in the south-west of the country, is expected in 2016 for unit 1 and for unit 2 in 2017.
In 1967, Alstom had supplied the original generator equipment at the plant.
Alstom country president for Norway Eric Staurset, said, “We are proud to reconfirm our good relationship with our customer Statkraft. This project endorses our strategy to support customers with a full services and retrofit offering to secure operational reliability and to optimise their asset management throughout the plant’s lifespan.”
