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.
By upgrading critical infrastructure, ANDRITZ is helping ensure long-term operational efficiency, reliability, and a safe renewable energy supply for the people of Norway.
This project highlights ANDRITZ’s commitment to providing sustainable hydropower solutions and its role in supporting the energy transition.
