The Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) has selected international technology group ANDRITZ to modernize the Rajjaprabha hydropower plant.
ANDRITZ will renovate all three 80-MW generating units of the plant. The renewable energy project, with an order value in the mid double-digit million-euro range, is included in ANDRITZ's order intake for the third quarter of 2025.
The Rajjaprabha plant on the Saeng River in Ban Ta Khun district, Surat Thani Province, has been operating since 1987. This modernization will ensure efficient and reliable operation for decades to come. The scope of the contract comprises the complete modernization of Units 1-3 including generator and specified turbine components along with installation supervision, testing, and commissioning.
EGAT owns and operates over 50 power plants across Thailand, with a total installed capacity of over 16,000 MW. The utility recently also awarded ANDRITZ a major modernization contract for the Srinagarind hydropower plant.
ANDRITZ has been active in Thailand for over five decades and has contributed to nearly half of the country's hydropower capacity through new installations and modernization projects. This latest order is another milestone in the long-standing cooperation with EGAT and further strengthens ANDRITZ's position in the Thai hydropower market, supporting the country's efforts to ensure a reliable supply of sustainable, renewable energy.
