ANDRITZ has secured a contract to restore key components and systems at the Nam Theun-I hydropower plant (2×260MW) in Bolikhamxay Province, Lao PDR, following damage caused by severe flooding linked to Typhoon Bualoi in September 2025.
As the original equipment manufacturer, ANDRITZ has been tasked with restoring both generating units under accelerated timelines to help the plant return to operation as quickly as possible.
The contract includes the supply of plant instrumentation, local control panels, and automation systems, including the control, governor, protection, and static excitation systems.
The agreement marks a continuation of ANDRITZ’s partnership with Nam Theun 1 Power Co. Ltd. (NT1PC), which operates the facility. The company says the award reflects NT1PC’s confidence in its technical capabilities and its experience in delivering hydropower restoration services.
The Nam Theun-I plant, with a total installed capacity of 520MW, plays a key role in power generation in the region.
