Works are to be carried out by Hidroserv, an insolvent company owned by Hidroelectrica.
”Hidroelectrica continues in 2020 the modernization programs of hydropower plants in operation. This is a very important part of our strategy because, besides developing our businesses, we wish to secure the objectives in our portfolio. We have changed the company’s policy, including in this area, therefore, the planned modernization works will be carried out with equipment similar or compatible for various objectives, so as to reduce maintenance costs and ensure interoperability. We plan to do the same at Daesti, with HA2, which must be similar with HA1, a hydro-aggregate that has already been revamped”, said Bogdan Badea, Chairman of Hidroelectrica’s Board of Directors.
CHE Daesti is equipped with two hydro-aggregates, with vertical Kaplan turbines coupled with synchronous generators, and has an installed power of 37.8 MW (2 x 18.9). The annual average electricity production of CHE Daesti is 107 GWh.
