CHENGDU, China – Chengdu Forster Technology Co., Ltd., a leading Chinese hydro turbine manufacturer based in Sichuan with a legacy dating back to 1956, has announced the successful completion and delivery of a custom-engineered Pelton turbine for a prominent renewable energy developer in Greece. This milestone underscores Forster’s expanding footprint in the European renewable energy market and its commitment to delivering high-performance hydroelectric solutions tailored to diverse operational requirements.
The Pelton turbine, a type of impulse turbine renowned for its effectiveness in high-head, low-flow applications, was specifically designed for the Greek client’s new project aimed at enhancing the efficiency of an industrial hydro power plant. The twin-nozzle configuration—a hallmark of advanced Pelton turbine design—delivers enhanced power performance through balanced dual-jet flow, ensuring optimal energy conversion even under varying operational conditions.
This project represents the continuation of a successful cooperation between Forster and its European clients. In previous collaborations, Forster has delivered multiple micro-hydro power plants across the region, with one Eastern European client completing its third micro-hydro power plant in cooperation with Forster. The Greek project similarly benefited from close collaboration between Forster’s dedicated international team and the client from the initial design phase through manufacturing, testing, and final logistics coordination.
