Energotehnika Južna Bačka has selected ANDRITZ to supply ten turbines for the modernisation of the Vlasinske hydropower plants in Serbia.
ANDRITZ said the order, included in its first-quarter 2026 intake, is valued in the lower double-digit million-euro range.
The company added the upgrade will increase installed capacity at the plants by 8MW from about 130MW.
The Vlasinske cascade on the Vrla River comprises four hydropower plants that have been operating since 1955.
Under the contract, ANDRITZ will design, manufacture, supervise installation and commission four Pelton and six Francis units and associated equipment.
The modernisation will be organised to allow electricity production to continue during the works to maintain a stable power supply.
The project is supported by international financing, including a loan from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, and forms part of a programme by Elektroprivreda Srbije to renovate the cascade.
