Graz, February 14, 2011.  International technology Group ANDRITZ has received an
order from Norte Energia, Brazil, to supply - as part of a consortium composed
of Alstom (consortium leader), ANDRITZ, and Voith - three Francis turbines and
generators, as well as 14 excitation systems for the main power house, as well
as six bulb turbines and six generators, all auxiliary equipment and other
hydro-mechanical equipment for the Pimental power house of the Belo Monte
project. The order value for ANDRITZ is approximately 330 MEUR.

With a planned capacity of 11,230 MW, Belo Monte will be the third largest
hydropower plant in the world. First electricity generation is expected to start
in 2014, completion of the project is scheduled for 2019. Belo Monte hydropower
plant is an important project for the Brazilian government targeting to secure
