Denis Manturov noted at the meeting on the prospects for the development of power engineering that significant work has been done in this area over the past three years. At present, it is important to maintain the current pace of ensuring technological sovereignty. This will help avoid critical dependence on imported equipment and technologies in the strategically important energy sector. Also, the previously approved measures to support domestic solutions should not be abandoned.
"At the same time, manufacturers should guarantee compliance with their contractual obligations in terms of deadlines for the timely commissioning of new generating capacities," Denis Manturov reminded.
The meeting participants discussed the accumulated competences and capabilities of the Russian machine building industry, as well as the compliance of existing and prospective industrial capacities with the needs of the Russian energy system.
Alexander Novak voiced the need for the Ministry of Energy and the Ministry of Industry and Trade to balance the need for the production of power equipment until 2042 based on medium- and long-term plans for the construction and modernisation of generating facilities.
"We are talking, among other things, about combined cycle gas turbines and steam power plants. This will make it possible to correlate the capabilities of the Russian industry with the needs of demand for specialised equipment on the part of energy companies and form a guaranteed basic demand for it," Alexander Novak specified.
The import substitution programme in the power engineering industry has been implemented since 2014. During this period, according to Anton Alikhanov, the power equipment market in Russia has tripled and production volumes have quadrupled, including a 36% increase last year. "Taking into account the insignificant export component, as a result, the domestic share increased from 57 to 82% in monetary terms. The volume of state support for this period totalled about 28 billion rubles," Anton Alikhanov emphasised to the participants of the meeting.
As the Head of the Ministry of Energy noted, according to the approved plans, in the long term the energy sector's demand for generating equipment exceeds 77 GW.
"This is due to the growing demand for electricity, the need to commission new and modernise existing generating capacities. The Russian Ministry of Energy is forming an industry order for the production of turbines and main power equipment until 2042 with production control over the main production points," said Sergey Tsivilev.
