Voith awarded service contract for Kettle station, Canada

8 May 2014


Voith has won a services contract for the extensive modernization of three hydropower generators at the Kettle generating station in the Canadian province of Manitoba.

The contract includes the replacement of stator frames, new cores and windings as well as pole re-insulation and the installation of new coolers. Once the project is completed, each of the refurbished units will be rated at 120 MVA.

The Kettle station is owned by Manitoba Hydro and, with a total of twelve units and a present installed capacity of 1220MW, is the second-largest hydropower plant in Manitoba. The facility was commissioned in the early 1970s and will undergo gradual rehabilitation to continue production of renewable energy production for further decades.
