As found “Kommersant”, the Ministry has approved the request of “inter RAO” on the inclusion of one of the gas turbines, which the company intends to locate under license from the American GE, the list of modern technologies. Now “inter RAO” will be able to claim spetsinvestproject (SPIC 2.0), which gives benefits. But the Ministry rejected the application by the Russian joint venture of “Power machines” Alexey Mordashov with Siemens — “Siemens gas turbine technology” (STGT), who proposed to localize the machine SGT5-2000E. Turbines of this series have been supplied with the scandal in the Crimea. Experts surprised by the lack of recognition of German cars “with modern technology”.The Ministry has approved the request of “inter RAO” to enable one scheduled for localization in RF high-power gas turbines (GTBM, in Russia while are not performed) in the list of modern technologies, told “Kommersant” sources in the market. The new version of specinvtehnica (SPIC 2.0) assumes the conclusion of contracts through tenders on the basis of this list, which must approve the government.It is unclear what kind of specific turbine “inter RAO” in question. The company plans to localize in Russia two model range — 6FA (about 80 MW) and GT13E (180 MW) under license from American GE. One of the interlocutors “Kommersant” notes that the parameters of the turbine “inter RAO” clarify “later, at the stage of conclusion Spica”. The company comments are not given in the Ministry of industry and trade said that “inter RAO — Engineering” has submitted three applications, two of which were rejected and one approved.However, the Ministry rejected the application of STGT (SP German Siemens and “Power machines”) for inclusion in the list turbine the SGT5-2000E. This was confirmed by the Ministry, explaining that the expert organization rejected the proposal. But, assured in the Ministry of industry, after approval of the list of STGT have the right to participate in the competition for any of the technologies that will go into it. Turbines of this series have been delivered to Crimea, causing a big scandal and trial, and work with 2019 for the two power plants.According to “Kommersant”, the grounds for refusal were the period of validity of the technology (in the order of ten years), the impossibility and inexpediency of production and competitiveness on the world market (in the world sold more than 450 machines SGT-2000E) and a minor competitive advantage in cost. In Siemens, “Kommersant” reported that STGT submitted all information to the listing and does not know about the decision of the Ministry of industry and trade.As noted by the partner “is designed to compensate for GKS” Roman Tarasov, the list of technologies included modern technology, as well as characteristics of products produced with its use, but not a specific model. Published by the Ministry of industry and trade draft list includes production technology GTBM (more than 65 MW and an efficiency of at least 36.5 per cent), and defines the characteristics of such products for the conclusion of Speke 2.0. “The key questiowith — in accordance of the planned production the criteria that will be installed in the final list approved by the government”,— the expert emphasizes.This is the second attempt of Siemens to pursue Spica. So, in August 2019 the Ministry of industry and trade has already returned for revision application of STGT on a previous version of the Spica — as explained by the Ministry, in connection with the change mechanism itself. Siemens initially stated that it does not claim subsidies and incentives provided by Speke: he need to delay localization until 2023.The rejections came amid internal conflict in STGT: Power machines, which owns 35 percent of the joint venture, has repeatedly asked the government to refuse Siemens benefits Speke. The company is committed to independently produce GTBM, but that it must first withdraw from the partnership. 14 July, the head of STGT Nico Petzold in an interview with TASS reported that SP will be able to increase the localization of the turbine to 100% and without entering into Speke 2.0. when guarantees are required on localized turbines, which he estimated at 10-15 pieces for a period of 10-12 years.According to senior analyst of energy Center, Moscow school of management SKOLKOVO Yuri Melnikov, SGT5-2000E, of course, can be attributed to modern technology. All of the key characteristics and the set embodied in the design of technologies, it adequately looks at the background of competitors in this class of power (200 MW), he said, noting that the turbines of this family are common among the steam-gas power units built in Russia over the last 15 years.Tatiana Woodpecker
