Andritz has won a contract from TNB Power Generation to carry out a major uprating of the Chenderoh hydropower plant in Malaysia. The uprating plan is to extend the plant’s operational lifespan and increase the capacity of the three units by 5 per cent.

Andritz will carry out major uprating works on the turbines and will supply new generators and rehabilitate the hydromechanical equipment of the generating units. It will also improve the safety and reliability of auxiliary systems, the Unit 4 cooling system, and support systems. New equipment, including a generator transformer and a powerhouse crane, will be installed.

The rehabilitation of Chenderoh is part of TNB’s broader Life Extension Programme for its plants.
