Without Siemens and General Electric: Russia freed itself from imports of large gas turbines

High-power turbines GTD-110M from Rostec's subsidiary UEC help in this endeavor

Russia will completely replace Siemens and General Electric high-power gas turbines and is no longer dependent on supplies of these products from any foreign countries. This was stated by the head of Rostec State Corporation, Sergey Chemezov, at a meeting with Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin. According to him, a new domestic turbine from UEC will help in this: GTD-110M.

GTD-110M became the first Russian turbine capable of operating in the power range from 118 MW to 495 MW and higher.

We are installing it at our «Udarnaya» station, which is being built on the Taman Peninsula. This is the first serial turbine. Now we are confident that we can be independent. [...] Now we can move away from both Siemens and General Electric.
Sergey Chemezov, CEO of Rostec State Corporation

The equipment of the second power unit of the station, which includes the superturbine, has already been tested. It successfully operated for 72 hours in the nominal power mode of 230 MW and contributed to the Unified Energy System of Russia, confirming all the declared characteristics. The «Udarnaya» TPP will be fully operational by the end of the year.

The second power unit of the TPP with a Russian gas superturbine was tested in the Krasnodar Territory

Instead of Siemens: Russia started producing new gas turbines with a capacity of 170 MW

UEC will significantly increase the production of gas turbine units
