Company Information 
 
Graz - July 28, 2021. International technology group ANDRITZ has received an 
order from First Hydro Company, UK, covering a contract for the supply of six 
new spherical valves for the Dinorwig pumped storage plant in Llanberis, North 
Wales, United Kingdom. First Hydro Company is owned 75% by ENGIE and 25% by 
Brookfield. The first two valves will be installed in mid-2023, and the other 
four in mid-2025. 
 
ANDRITZ's scope encompasses the design, manufacture, supply, installation, and 
commissioning of six spherical valves with a diameter of 2,500 millimeters and a 
pressure of 60 bar, including governors and the fire protection system. 
 
With a total installed capacity of about 1,728 MW, Dinorwig is one of the 
largest pumped storage plants in Europe and provides balancing services 
including reserve and response. At peak, water flows through the turbines at 360 
m3 per second - the equivalent volume of a typical 25-meter length swimming 
pool. 
 
The new ANDRITZ spherical valves will contribute to maintaining the overall 
availability of the entire plant, which has been in operation for nearly 40 
years. Dinorwig plays a vital role in the safeguarding of Great Britain's 
national grid. 
 
First Hydro placed great confidence in ANDRITZ as a recognized worldwide 
specialist for spherical valves. ANDRITZ is proud to be part of the 
refurbishment project for Dinorwig power station.
