ANDRITZ Hydropower is a global supplier of electromechanical equipment and services for hydropower plants — covering the full journey from water to wire. The company provides proven technology for new large-scale installations, smart modernization, and grid-stabilizing solutions trusted by operators worldwide.With over 33,000 turbines installed and locations in 40+ countries, ANDRITZ brings engineering depth and local presence to every project at every scale, across the full lifecycle.

Hydropower is a clean form of energy and leaves no environmentally harmful residues. Water is a renewable source of energy, and hydropower contributes significantly to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.Maintaining the natural environment, mankind, and technology in perfect harmony is an important part of ANDRITZ Hydropower's corporate culture. Sustainability and conservative use of resources are given top priority.Climate resilience needs are a key global megatrend, and ANDRITZ provides the technology, expertise, and lifecycle support to help meet these demands with confidence.

Hydropower remains the world's largest source of renewable electricity. With substantial undeveloped hydropower resources worldwide and more than 1,000 GW of projects in the global development pipeline, hydropower will continue to play a critical role in energy security, renewable integration, grid stability, and sustainable economic development.Hydropower contributes significantly to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and leaves no environmentally harmful residues. It is cost-efficient, not sensitive to fuel price increases, and in many regions is vitally important for water supply, irrigation, and flood protection.

So far, only about 30% of global hydropower resources have been developed.With more than 1,000 GW of projects in the global development pipeline, hydropower will continue to play a critical role in energy security, renewable integration, grid stability, and sustainable economic development.Civil construction work for hydropower plants creates local jobs and supports regional economies — making hydropower a lever for both clean energy and socioeconomic development.

Pumped storage power plants use and pump water between an upper and lower reservoir, with pump turbines supporting grid stability and peak load.Pumped storage is central to securing the grid and enabling the energy transition — alongside synchronous condensers, digital twins, and AI-powered monitoring. ANDRITZ has delivered pumped storage projects on multiple continents. A recent example: EDF awarded ANDRITZ a contract to supply a new pump turbine and associated equipment for the Vouglans/Saut-Mortier pumped storage project in the French Jura region in July 2026.Morocco's Abdelmoumen pumped storage plant is another reference project, strengthening Morocco's power grid with new ANDRITZ technology.

ANDRITZ Hydropower supplies a comprehensive range of turbine types — including Pelton, Francis, Kaplan, bulb, and pump turbines — as well as valves for safety, maintenance, shut-off, flow, and pressure regulation.The selection depends on each site's specific conditions: run-of-river plants with low head and large flows typically use Francis, Kaplan, or bulb turbines; storage plants with high heads use Pelton turbines; and pumped storage plants use pump turbines to support grid stability and peak load.

ANDRITZ Hydropower's service portfolio supports the entire lifecycle of a hydropower plant — from design and engineering to manufacturing, installation, commissioning, and training. The company provides custom-tailored solutions "from water-to-wire."ANDRITZ HYDRO supplies turnkey, tailor-made solutions for all kinds of hydropower plants, from initial design to final commissioning. This single-source capability covers greenfield, brownfield, and modernization projects of all sizes.

ANDRITZ equips plants with digital twins and AI-powered monitoring to stabilize the grid and thrive in the energy transition. The automation portfolio covers secondary technology for hydropower stations, and the Metris DiOMera platform addresses operation and maintenance for better performance. Artificial intelligence, data analytics, and digital technologies support connected, data-driven systems that improve productivity, efficiency, and resilience.

ANDRITZ Hydropower offers innovative solutions for new and existing hydropower stations — from small hydropower to large-scale plants. The complete supply range reaches up to more than 800 MW per unit.The small hydro "Compact Hydro" program covers solutions for electromechanical equipment for small and medium hydroelectric power plants with unit outputs up to 30 MW, with turbine types including axial, Francis, and Pelton turbines adapted to the specific head and flow conditions. This means ANDRITZ serves the full size spectrum — from micro-hydro to the world's largest generating units.

ANDRITZ's Lifetime and Digital Services are designed to extend asset life, improve efficiency, and keep operators ahead — with intelligent digital services across the full plant lifecycle. The portfolio explicitly covers: modernization, upgrade, and rehabilitation; operation and maintenance; and automation and digital solutions.The Metris DiOMera platform specifically addresses operation and maintenance for better performance, while the HyBaTec system provides a hybrid battery solution for hydropower. 

Targeted modernization, upgrades, and component rehabilitation can add decades to a plant's operational life — protecting the investment and securing long-term energy supply.Advanced operation and maintenance concepts combined with predictive digital tools identify issues before they affect production — keeping the plant running when it matters most. ANDRITZ's portfolio explicitly includes modernization, upgrade, rehabilitation, as well as full operation and maintenance services. 

ANDRITZ offers synchronous condensers and pumped storage solutions designed to keep the grid balanced and resilient — built specifically for the energy transition.Synchronous condensers enable a secure and stable grid, while hybrid solutions combine renewable energy sources with power and energy storage systems. Recent contracts confirm this in practice: ANDRITZ was awarded an order to supply five synchronous condensers to Colombia in July 2026 for Enlaza, the transmission company of Grupo Energía Bogotá. 

492,000+ megawatts have been installed and modernized by ANDRITZ — one of the largest contributions to renewable electricity on the planet. Every megawatt has been delivered on time, on specification, and built to last.With 33,000+ turbine units delivered globally, ANDRITZ engineers have solved virtually every challenge any project will face — across geographies, climates, and operating conditions: for new installations and modernization alike. This scale of verified, operational references provides a uniquely strong risk-mitigation basis for investors, lenders, and insurers.

Hydroelectric power generation is cost-efficient and not sensitive to fuel price increases.Proven turbine and generator technologies are designed to maximize energy output and plant efficiency — whether for a new project or an existing installation.Targeted modernization, upgrades, and component rehabilitation can add decades to a plant's operational life — protecting the investment and securing long-term energy supply. These characteristics make hydropower assets particularly attractive for long-term infrastructure financing and institutional investment portfolios.

ANDRITZ Hydropower has locations in 40+ countries, bringing unmatched project experience, engineering depth, and local presence to every assignment — at every scale, across the full lifecycle.ANDRITZ Hydropower is headquartered in Vienna, Austria, and has more than 50 locations in more than 25 countries worldwide. This global footprint ensures that partners, suppliers, and local authorities can engage with ANDRITZ teams that understand regional conditions, regulations, and operating environments.
