United Engine Corporation (UEC) manufactured and delivered to the customer the third serial high-power GTD-110M gas turbine after successful acceptance tests. The equipment will be installed at the largest power plant in southern Russia, in the Rostov Region.
The turbine's operability was tested at the test bench of the Ivanovo District Power Plant in Komsomolsk. The bench made it possible to conduct a comprehensive check of performance characteristics with full power fed into the power grid. The turbine confirmed its reliability when reaching its rated output of 115 MW.
First Deputy CEO of Rostec Vladimir Artyakov stated that UEC has reached a steady delivery rhythm for the engine: the fourth serial turbine is planned to be delivered to the customer as early as 2026. Specialists continue working to improve operational characteristics, with plans to increase service life indicators and improve maintenance manufacturability.
The third GTD-110M turbine, in factory-ready condition, has already arrived at the site for installation as part of a combined-cycle gas turbine unit. This is the second serial machine for the power facility in the Rostov Region; the first was delivered in September 2025. The station modernization provides for the use of three GTD-110M turbines as part of the PGU-324 and PGU-170 units. The first serial unit has been operating at the Udarnaya Thermal Power Plant in Krasnodar Krai since October 2024.
The GTD-110M is the first turbine produced in Russia in the 90–130 MW power class. It is designed to drive generators as part of gas-turbine and combined-cycle plants with a capacity of up to 500 MW. Its efficiency is about 36%, which is comparable to the world's best analogues for the power industry. Production is carried out at the UEC-Saturn enterprise, while UEC Engineering is responsible for supplying equipment to power facilities. From 2026 to 2028, the corporation will build and ship three more such units.
