Litostroj Power has signed a contract with S.S.H. Hidroserv S.A. of Bucharest to supply key equipment for the Stejaru hydropower plant in north-eastern Romania, marking the company’s return to the country’s hydropower sector.
The Stejaru hydropower plant, located on the Bistrița River, is a storage-type facility and forms part of Romania’s renewable energy infrastructure. It is equipped with four Francis turbine units, each with a nominal capacity of 24.71MW. The plant operates with a net head of 115m, a nominal discharge of 23.5m3/sec, and a rotational speed of 500 rpm.
Under the contract, Litostroj Power will design, manufacture, deliver, and oversee installation and commissioning of the main hydro-mechanical equipment. The scope includes four Francis turbines, hydraulic pressure units, digital turbine regulators, and main turbine inlet valves, along with a full set of spare parts.
The project is scheduled for completion by April 2031.
Litostroj Power, part of the Czech-based Wikov Group, said the agreement strengthens its presence in Southeastern Europe and supports the modernisation of Romania’s hydropower fleet. The company has previously been active in the Romanian market.
S.S.H. Hidroserv is responsible for maintenance and rehabilitation services across Romania’s hydropower sector, and the Stejaru hydropower project forms part of ongoing efforts to improve reliability and performance of existing assets.
Litostroj Power provides equipment and services for hydropower projects globally, including turbine design, manufacturing, refurbishment, and modernisation.
