Historically, we have successfully delivered several projects for Fortum across the Swedish and Finnish markets, including initiatives at Eldforsen, Grada, Svarthålsforsen G1 and G2, Untra, Letten, Imatra G3, G4, and G7, and Pyhakoski G1 and G2. Presently, we are engaged in a crucial project for the revitalization of two generators at HPP Hermansboda in Sweden.

The Hydropower plant (HPP) Svarthålsforsen, positioned along the Indalsälven River approximately 90 km northwest of Sundsvall, Sweden, has been operational since 1953. This facility features three units, each powered by a Kaplan turbine directly connected to a synchronous generator. Six years ago, we successfully revitalized generators G1 and G2. Now, focus shifts to upgrading generator G3, which involves increasing its capacity from 27 MVA to 34.3 MVA. The comprehensive upgrade plan for G3 includes designing and manufacturing a new stator, re-insulating the poles, and overhauling other critical components, along with extensive onsite works.

The project also encompasses the renovation of turbine T2, requiring the dismantling, detailed inspection, and reassembly of generator G2. The contract optionally covers similar work on generator G1, with the entire project slated for completion by November 2028.

Located in the North Ostrobothnia region of Finland, along the Oulujoki River about 85 kilometers southeast of Oulu, HPP Nuojua operates with three AEG-manufactured generators and Kaplan type turbines. Initially commissioned in 1954 and 1955, Generators G1 and G2 last underwent refurbishment in 1976, while Generator G3 was updated in 2016. The new contract includes enhancing the capacity of Generators G1 and G2 from 30 MVA to 36 MVA. The comprehensive revitalization will involve designing and fabricating new stators, re-insulating the poles, and performing thorough overhauls of other generator components, supplemented by extensive onsite works. Completion of the project is targeted for November 2027.

The combined value of both contracts exceeds EUR 13 million, and negotiations are underway for two additional projects in Sweden with the same customer.
