The major customer of Perm gas turbine plants, as in previous years, has been OJSC "Gasprom". 27 of new 48 gas turbine units were shipped to the compressor stations of the main pipelines, such as "Nord Stream", "Bovanenkovo-Ukhta, "The Tyumen region north areas - Torzhok" and "Sakhalin-Khabarovsk-Vladivostok". 9 gas turbine plants were produced for LLC "LUKOIL- West Syberia". The most marketable gas turbine plants have been GTU-16P with 16MW power (21 units produced) and GTU-25P with 25 MW power (13 units produced).
The business plan of 2012 assumes 30% increase of delivery of gas turbine plants to the customers. OJSC "Perm Engine Company" plans to produce 60 new plants and repair 67 functioning gas turbine plants.
Alexey Mikhalev, "Perm Engine Company" CEO: "Today we are delivering our industrial production to more than 20 companies, but our main customer is still OJSC "Gasprom". We ship 80% of all produced CTU-s to the operating sites of this gas company holding. In 2012 there will be 20 years from the beginning of our partnership with "Gasprom". This is a momentous event not only for Perm engine builders, but also for many Perm region enterprises, the participants of the program "Ural-Gasprom". "Gasprom" orders revitalized the companies, which were out of work in the beginning of 90-ties of the 20th century. It is remarkable that in the third quarter of 2012 our assembly shop will release the 500th gas turbine plant, manufactured specially for OJSC "Gasprom"."
