The contract, which is valued at around €30m, calls for the supply, installation, and commissioning of three 235MV ampere generators at the plant, which is likely to become operational in 2016.

The 636MW power station, which is the second in a cascade of four power stations planned on the Murat River, will have an annual production capacity of 1,470GWh, which is enough clean energy to power 150,000 households in Turkey.

In 2012, Andritz Hydro has secured a contract to supply three Francis turbines of 186MW each to Beyhan-1, which is first hydropower plant in the cascade.
