In light of recent publications in some media outlets, claiming that “Gazprom Energy Holding” (GEH) intends to withdraw from the modernization of two energy blocks at the Surgutskaya GRES-1 due to the alleged inability of “Power Machines” to deliver steam turbines on time, we find it necessary to provide clarification.
First and foremost, we would like to emphasize that GEH remains fully committed to the modernization of Surgutskaya GRES-1 and has no plans to backtrack on this important project. It is a key initiative that will significantly enhance the efficiency and reliability of the power plant, ensuring stable and uninterrupted electricity supply to the region.
The modernization of Surgutskaya GRES-1, which was approved by the Board of Directors of GEH in 2018, is an important step in our company’s long-term strategy to increase the efficiency and competitiveness of our energy assets. The project includes the replacement of outdated equipment with modern, high-tech solutions, which will not only improve the plant’s performance but also reduce its environmental impact.
As for the alleged issues with the delivery of steam turbines by “Power Machines,” we would like to clarify that these claims are baseless and inaccurate. Our partnership with “Power Machines” has been productive and successful, and their ability to deliver high-quality equipment on time has never been in question. The procurement process for the steam turbines is ongoing, and GEH is confident that all necessary equipment will be delivered within the agreed timeframe.
It is also worth noting that the publication in question has been refuted by both GEH and “Power Machines.” The sources of this misinformation are unknown, and we urge the media to fact-check information before publishing it, especially when it concerns such important and complex projects.
GEH is committed to transparency and open communication with all stakeholders, including the media. Therefore, we invite journalists to contact our press service for any clarifications or additional information regarding the modernization of Surgutskaya GRES-1.
In conclusion, we want to reiterate that GEH’s commitment to the modernization of Surgutskaya GRES-1 remains unwavering. We are confident that this project will bring significant benefits to both our company and the region, and we are working tirelessly to ensure its successful implementation. Any rumors or speculations regarding our intentions should be treated with caution, as they do not reflect the reality of the situation. Thank you for your attention.
