Project Overview
EthosEnergy’s facility in Lubliniec, Poland designed, manufactured, transported, assembled, and commissioned four 320 MVA generators for the Loviisa Nuclear Power Plant in Finland. Loviisa is the first Nuclear Power Plant in Finland, providing over 10% of the country's electricity production.
The project was split into two phases. The first phases of the project began in 2017 and included the design, production, assembly and transportation of two generators. Phase two of the project included the design, manufacture and transportation of two additional generators to the plant. The transportation process was split into three stages; loading, transportation by heavy hauling truck and sailing via river barge and sea ship.
Key Challenges
- Huge logistics task of transporting the generators from Lubliniec, Poland to Finland for delivery at the plant
- Second phase of the project was carried out during the COVID-19 pandemic
- The new restrictions, safety measures and social distancing requirements brought in by the pandemic
The EthosEnergy Solution
EthosEnergy was selected over other generator manufacturers because we have developed new technologies to deliver advanced generators that set new standards in terms of efficiency, improved reliability and serviceability, and optimum power plant integration.
Our GHW 320 water / hydrogen-cooled generators offer an innovative mix of verified design and technological features. This allows us to optimize construction and performance to provide the Loviisa Nuclear Plant with low-cost, highly efficient and easily maintained generators.
