ANDRITZ Received Contract to Equip New Silvan Hydropower Plant in Turkey

Introduction:

The Turkish State Hydraulic Works (Devlet Su Isleri, DSI) has awarded international technology group ANDRITZ a contract to supply the electro-mechanical equipment for the new 160 MW Silvan hydropower plant in Turkey.

Features:

ANDRITZ will provide four 40 MW turbines, four generators, associated equipment for the hydropower plant, and a 154 kV switchyard system.

Strategically situated on the Kulp Stream near Diyarbakir in Turkey’s Southeast Anatolia Region, the Silvan hydropower plant will play a crucial role in the country's energy infrastructure.

Over the years, ANDRITZ has supplied or refurbished turbines and generators with a combined capacity of approximately 16,000 MW in Turkey, representing a market share of nearly 60%. Hydropower constitutes 20.7% of Turkey’s total installed capacity.
