Piottino, Switzerland - Contract for the rehabilitation of the 3 Francis groups In April 2024, AET (Azienda Elettrica Ticinese) awarded the ANDRITZ/INGETEAM consortium (Spain) the contract for the supply of the electromechanical equipment for the rehabilitation of the Piottino hydropower plant in Ticino. The Piottino hydropower plant was built between 1928 and 1932 by Officine Elettriche Ticinesi. Originally equipped with two vertical Francis units, it was extended with a third unit in 1957, increasing the total power plant output to 67 MW. The plant produces around 310 GWh per year, which corresponds to the needs of 77,500 households. AET has been operating the plant since 1972, after the water utilization concession expired and the hydropower plant was taken over by the County of Ticino. In recent years, AET has carried out an extensive modernization program for the power plant, the main objectives of which are the replacements of the electromechanical equipment and the power plant's valves. As part of this extensive refurbishment program, ANDRITZ Switzerland and its partner INGETEAM will supply the turbines, generators, and auxiliary systems. The delivery of the units will be staggered, with the rehabilitation of the first group taking place in April 2027, and the last one in April 2029. A model test will also be carried out in our hydraulic laboratory in Linz, Austria to optimize the hydraulic performance. ANDRITZ and its partners would like to thank AET for the trust placed in them and look forward to the successful realization of the project. #Andritz #Hydropower #Modernization #Renewal #Francis #AET
