CABA Group orders complete electromechanical equipment for new hydropower plant in Türkiye from ANDRITZ

The order has a value in the low three-digit million euro range and will be included in ANDRITZ’s order intake for the first quarter of 2026.

The Cizre hydropower plant will have a total installed capacity of 339 MW. ANDRITZ’s turnkey “from water-to-wire” contract comprises five Francis turbine-generator sets, associated auxiliary equipment, and an ECO-flow unit. With a maximum head of 36 meters and a rated speed of 111 rpm, each Francis unit has a capacity of 64 MW, while the ECO-flow unit contributes an additional 19 MW. The turbines will feature one of the most efficient runner designs available today. ANDRITZ will provide the engineering, manufacturing, supply, installation, and commissioning of the equipment.

Frank Mette, General Manager of ANDRITZ Hydropower Türkiye, said: “Projects like Cizre demonstrate how advanced hydropower technology supports the transition to sustainable energy systems. ANDRITZ’s water-to-wire expertise enables utilities worldwide to generate reliable renewable power while strengthening grid stability.”

The project owner, CABA, is one of Türkiye’s leading renewable energy companies, with a strong commitment to expanding the country’s renewable energy capacity. The country has the largest installed hydropower capacity in Europe after Norway. With more projects presently in the pipeline, Türkiye aims to further strengthen its position in renewable energy and contribute significantly to a green future. Renewables already account for 76 GW or 62% of the country's total installed capacity.

Hydropower is essential for delivering reliable, low-carbon electricity and for stabilizing power systems as the share of variable renewable energy sources such as wind and solar increases. This project further consolidates ANDRITZ’s role as a key partner in Türkiye’s green energy transition and underscores the company’s strategic focus on delivering renewable power infrastructure that enables the global shift to low-carbon energy systems. Through advanced hydropower technologies, ANDRITZ supports the development of resilient, sustainable power generation worldwide.
