Mavel, a.s. signed a contract to provide turbines and related technology for the Grodnenskaya small hydroelectric project in Belarus, the company reported.

The hydro project, located on the Neman River, is 8 kilometers from the city of Grodno and owned by RUP Grodnoenergo. Mavel will supply five double regulated horizontal PIT turbines with runner diameters of three meters - Mavel type KP3000K4.
