The government has decided to secure a 5 GW quota for the construction of power units using Russian gas turbines as part of the modernization of old thermal power plants.
The projects are planned to be commissioned in 2029–2031, and the selection itself will be postponed to October 31, 2025. In addition, the mechanism for saving the resource of foreign turbines may be extended, and the maximum capital costs for modernization may be increased.
Allocating a quota and special conditions for TPP projects with Russian gas turbines is necessary, but for machine builders, a quota of 5 GW looks like a very ambitious goal today
This is important because Russia seeks to reduce its dependence on foreign technologies in the energy sector and ensure the modernization of TPPs with its own turbines. However, the success of the program largely depends on whether domestic machine builders can increase production and complete the task on time.
