We have been awarded a new supply contract for two 10 MW Gamesa Electric synchronous hydro generators for this plant located in the Swiss Alps and originally commissioned in 1958.

Gamesa Electric will supply two 10 MW synchronous hydro generators for the refurbishment of Gabi hydropower plant in the Pennine Alps, in Switzerland. The plant, original from 1958, belongs to a compound of three power stations under renovation.

This hydropower has played an important role in the economic development of this remote European region for decades. The hydroelectric plant compound represents a total production capacity of 82 MW and a yearly production of 239 million kWh.

This is not our first collaboration with this client. We have worked together previously in 23 different hydropower plants in 8 countries, for a total supplied of 335 MW together.

Gamesa Electric is fully committed to the hydroelectric sector, by the end of the year we will reach 3GW supplied to more than 300 projects in 35 different countries worldwide.
