Konecranes to supply large crane for Norwegian hydropower expansion

Konecranes Oyj will supply a 170-tonne crane for Hafslund Kraft's expansion project at the Hemsil 3 hydropower plant in Norway. The order marks an addition to the company's order intake for the third quarter of 2024.

The crane, designed for shared use within power plant facilities, will support the ongoing expansion. While specific financial details of the contract were not disclosed, the agreement reinforces Konecranes' role as a supplier of lifting solutions to the energy sector. The Hemsil 3 expansion aims to enhance the region's hydropower generation capacity and reliability.

Konecranes is a global leader in providing lifting equipment and services across various industries, including manufacturing, ports, and mining. This contract in Norway aligns with the global trend towards renewable energy infrastructure development. The company's expertise in heavy-duty lifting solutions is critical for complex energy projects.

The Hemsil 3 project is part of Norway's ongoing efforts to modernize its hydroelectric power infrastructure and ensure a stable supply of clean energy. The crane is expected to be commissioned later as the project progresses.
