ÅF assigned new hydropower project

ÅF is to supply Skogsforsen’s hydropower plant in Ätran with new electrical and control equipment. The assignment is a full-service undertaking in which ÅF will be responsible for electrical design, PLC programming, electrical installations and commissioning. The project will start in December 2015 and continue throughout 2016. The client is E.ON.

Skogsforsen’s hydropower plant has two power-generating units with normal annual production of approximately 30GWh. The turbine in one of the units requires reconditioning and in connection with this, the electrical and control equipment will also be replaced.

“Replacing electrical and control equipment is a considerable challenge in terms of preparation and planning, to enable a unit to continue operating for as much of the contract period as possible,” explains Jack Isaksson, Project Manager at ÅF.
