Russia has overcome the dependence on high-capacity gas turbines of foreign make, CEO of the Rostec State Corporation Sergey Chemezov said at the meeting with Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin.
"We are installing it [the GTD-110M high-capacity turbine - TASS] at our Udarnaya plant that is under construction at the Taman Peninsula. This is the first serially-made turbine. Now we are confident that we can become independent," Chemezov said. "We can break up now with Siemens, and with General Electric. We built three plants - this is the third one. Two plants were constructed in Crimea and one in the Taman Peninsula - the Udarnaya, which we will launch in full as early as in this year," the chief executive noted.
Development of the GTD-110M high-capacity turbine is a very important milestone, the Prime Minister said. "I know the corporation was working for a long time on that, to create analogs of Western turbines," Mishustin stressed.
