In 2018, Power Machines announced the development of its own technology for manufacturing gas turbines with a capacity of 65 MW and 170 MW as a part of the upgrade program for thermal power plants in Russia. Renewal for gas turbine unit production is a landmark project not only for the company, but for the whole country.
The company is implementing the project with support from the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation to ensure energy and technological independence for the state. To implement this task, the design bureau was re-established; at present, the prototype gas turbine units GTE-65 F-class and GTE-170 E-class are in production. The company is also developing hydrogen energy technologies and is working on the creation of a gas turbine capable of operating on methane-hydrogen mixtures.
