A consortium comprising Voith Hydro Shanghai Limited and POWERCHINA Zhongnan Engineering Corporation has secured a contract to supply the core electromechanical equipment for Vietnam’s Bac Ai pumped storage hydropower project. The project is located in Khanh Hoa Province.
The project will have an installed capacity of 1,200 MW, comprising four units of 300 MW each. The consortium has signed the contract with Vietnam Electricity, with Voith Hydro Shanghai acting as the lead member. Under the contract, Voith Hydro Shanghai will lead the supply of key equipment, including pump-turbines, motor-generators, and governor, excitation, and control systems.
Earlier, in October 2026, Voith secured an order from Slovenské elektrárne a.s. to modernise two units at the 735 MW Čierny Váh pumped-storage power plant. The project involves supplying hydraulic and electromechanical equipment, including two new 104.6 MW vertical, two-stage radial pumps and two 134.6 MW Francis turbines.
