On the eve of Energy Day, the United Engine Corporation (UEC), part of Rostec, summarized its activities in the energy sector. According to the corporation, as of December 2025, it has already produced more than 600 gas turbine power plants, with a total capacity exceeding 6 gigawatts. These plants generate over 48 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity annually – a volume comparable to the annual consumption of such large regions as Moscow, Sverdlovsk, or Chelyabinsk regions.
For a large-scale comparison: the installed capacity of power equipment produced by UEC is twice the capacity of the famous hydroelectric power station at Niagara Falls. Thus, technologies initially developed for the aviation industry are now successfully used to ensure Russia's energy security.
Representatives of the corporation noted that each power plant is the result of the colossal work of thousands of engineers, designers, and production specialists from UEC enterprises. These solutions are the basis for stable energy supply to both residential buildings and strategically important industrial facilities – from the Arctic to the southern borders of the country.
A feature of UEC's energy solutions is their origin. Gas turbine units are created on the basis of aircraft engines adapted for stationary use. This approach made it possible to transfer technologies tested in extreme aviation conditions to civil energy: high reliability, compactness, quick start-up, and the ability to operate on various types of fuel – from natural gas to associated petroleum gas. This is especially valuable for remote and autonomous regions, where stable energy supply directly affects the quality of life and economic stability.
