Alstom is to supply a 75MW Francis turbine to the Thac Mo hydropower station extension in Vietnam in a €13 million contract awarded by Electricity of Vietnam.
Under the terms of the deal, Alstom will design, manufacturing, test, supply, erect and commission the electro-mechanical equipment which consists of one vertical Francis turbine of 75MW, generator, control systems and electrical balance-of-plant equipment.
The main turbines and generators will be manufactured at Alstom’s Vadodara facility in Gujarat India, one of the company’s largest hydro manufacturing hubs worldwide. Electrical and mechanical balance-of-plant items will be supplied from various countries including Vietnam.
The existing Thac Mo power station has two 75 MW Francis type turbines and was commissioned in 1995. It supplies power to the national grid of EVN covering the southern part of Vietnam. The extension project is designed to increase peak load capacity to support the existing power station with 75MW of additional power.
