GUGLER Water Turbines GmbH has completed and commissioned the Na An hydropower plant in Vietnam, adding another source of clean electricity to support the country’s growing energy demand and renewable energy goals.
The Na An project is GUGLER’s 11th hydropower installation in Vietnam, underscoring the company’s long-term presence and collaboration with local partners. Located near the Nam Be 2 hydropower facility, Na An contributes to a more stable and sustainable power supply for the region.
The new plant has a total installed capacity of 10.4MW and is equipped with two vertical Kaplan shaft turbines rated at 5.2MW each. Designed for a flow rate of 43.2 cubic meters per second and a net head of 13.2m, the facility can generate enough renewable electricity to power thousands of homes and businesses.
GUGLER supplied the complete electromechanical package for the project, including turbines, generators, hydraulic power units, and gearboxes. The company managed the project from initial design through installation and commissioning in cooperation with Vietnamese partners.
According to GUGLER, the completion of Na An reflects its commitment to delivering efficient and reliable hydropower solutions that align with Vietnam’s efforts to reduce carbon emissions and strengthen energy independence.
