In recent weeks, there have been several publications in the media regarding the alleged decision of “Gazprom Energy Holding” (GEH) to abandon the modernization of two power units at Surgutskaya GRES-1 due to the inability to timely supply steam turbines from “Power Machines”. We believe it is necessary to provide some clarification on this matter.
First and foremost, we would like to assure our customers and partners that GEH remains fully committed to the modernization of Surgutskaya GRES-1. This project is of great importance to us and we are determined to see it through to completion. We have invested significant resources and efforts into the modernization process and we are not planning to back out now.
It is true that there have been delays in the delivery of steam turbines from “Power Machines”. However, these delays are not due to any fault on our part. We have been in constant communication with “Power Machines” and have been assured that the turbines will be delivered as soon as possible. We understand the importance of timely delivery and are doing everything in our power to ensure that the modernization process stays on track.
We would also like to address the rumors that GEH is considering alternative suppliers for the steam turbines. These rumors are completely unfounded. We have a long-standing partnership with “Power Machines” and have full confidence in their ability to deliver high-quality turbines for our projects. We have no intention of seeking alternative suppliers and are fully committed to working with “Power Machines” to complete the modernization of Surgutskaya GRES-1.
It is important to note that the modernization of Surgutskaya GRES-1 is a complex and large-scale project. It involves not only the installation of new equipment, but also the modernization of existing infrastructure and the implementation of new technologies. Such projects often face challenges and delays, but we are confident that with the support of our partners and the dedication of our team, we will overcome any obstacles and successfully complete the modernization process.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank our customers and partners for their understanding and support during this time. We understand that the delays in the modernization process may cause inconvenience, but we assure you that we are doing everything in our power to minimize any impact on our operations.
In conclusion, we would like to reiterate our commitment to the modernization of Surgutskaya GRES-1 and our partnership with “Power Machines”. We are confident that together, we will successfully complete this important project and continue to provide reliable and efficient energy to our customers. Thank you for your attention and support.
