Siemens Factor: Government may disrupt plans to produce Russian turbines

November 11, 2019 44

Power Machines PJSC (chairman of the board of directors - Alexey Mordashov), one of the leading Russian power engineering companies (St. Petersburg), appealed to the Russian government with a request to refuse the German company Siemens to conclude a special investment contract (SPIC). Power Machines believes that SPIK, in this case, will harm Russia's interests.

It should be noted that Power Machines is on the US sanctions list. At the same time, Siemens is known for a scandal over the supply of turbines for TPPs in Crimea. Power Machines PJSC has already stated that SPIK will enable the Germans to send turbines to Russia from their overstocked warehouses by 2023, which will negate the efforts of the Russian manufacturer to establish full-fledged domestic production of high-capacity gas turbines (GTBM).

I believe that the time of SPIC has passed. And concluding it now means setting unequal conditions for those who have seriously advanced in this process. For example, us

- believes the General Director of Power Machines Timur Lipatov

It should be recalled that Russian and foreign machine builders have been trying for five years to organize (establish) the production of GTBM in Russia. In addition, Siemens claims to SPIK Technology gas turbines ”is a joint venture (JV) of Siemens and Power Machines, where the Germans have a 65% share.

At the same time, in August 2019, the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation did not approve the Siemens Gas Turbine Technology statement to the SPIC opinion filed on July 2, 2019. Then Siemens promised to invest 5 billion rubles in the localization of production of the SGT2000-1,16E turbine. By the way, SPIK is an agreement of the state with an investor, according to which the latter promises to make investments in exchange for the invariance of tax conditions for a specified period.

Power Machines believes that if SPIK is entered into with a foreign company, all the efforts of the Russian company to create domestic GTBM technology "can be reduced to zero." And in “Power Machines” they worry for good reason. After all, SPIK allows a delay in the localization of production for three years, and during this time Siemens will supply 20 finished turbines to Russia. Therefore, the requirements for the localization of production in Russia must be maintained.

Yes, let the Germans build a plant in the Russian Federation for the full production cycle of Siemens turbines in the Russian Federation ... Then we will deal with the sanctions and where to put the turbines and ask Siemens for an opinion ... That somehow doesn’t interfere with the other ... The main thing is, for the Germans to build a full-cycle plant, and not a screwdriver assembly from foreign car kits (Russia does not need this).

  Not so easy. Their developers are more important, they will ensure progress in the future. And Siemens may come under sanctions, recall its specialists (they still need to prepare their own). Turbines will be needed differently, everything is impossible to imagine - and who will develop them - foreigners? "Mashproekt" Nikolaev was his own in the times of the USSR - and suddenly it turned out to be completely alien. It is better to produce such complex products ourselves.

    Their developers are doing very little and slowly, so the plant built in Russia by the Germans, if it is a full-cycle plant, and not a screwdriver assembly, will not hinder Russia ... When Russia has a full-cycle plant, with equipment and a competitor in the form of domestic companies, Germans will become more accommodating and will not stutter about sanctions ... They started fussing out of fear that loot would flow away from their hands ... But Russia needs a lot of turbines to upgrade the fleet and power plants, and they need them yesterday, but not tomorrow, so there’s enough work for everyone ... That's it to catch their specialists ... let the Germans be mentors ... you just need to behave correctly with the Germans ... Germans need money, therefore you can set your own terms, albeit not always officially ... In the end, the Germans can make part of the production at a factory in the Russian Federation, not under the Siemens brand, but under the brand, for example, Severs ... and under this you can create a domestic ghost company ... so that there would be someone to nod at if the US opens its mouth ... white thread, but it doesn’t matter ... The machine project turned out to be in a foreign country, and here the plant will stand in the Russian Federation ... Different things...

I remember that back in the 90s it was Siemens who saved the SM from ruin, and a little leaning, screamed about the harmfulness of foreigners. So it was during the famine of 20-22, then the United States saved millions of starving people, and when the problem settled, the Americans were asked to leave the country, ungrateful, however!

  During the famine in 1930-31. the Americans refused to accept payment for the delivery of technical products with any money and gold. Only in grain. Given that they themselves had a "crisis of overproduction" and they burned their grain and drowned it in the rivers / sea. This is one of the main reasons for the extremely tragic development of events. And at 20 - 22. basically Nansen's foundation worked.
  The Germans are not as simple as they seem. Using our problems, we got into defense enterprises.
  And, for example, the whole post-war period, Italy was the main supplier of imports for Yugoslavia. After the bombing of Serbia by NATO countries, 90% of foreign firms in Serbia were German.
  Before writing about the miraculous altruism of the United States or Germany, remember the story.

    If the people in the country are dying of hunger, then no iron will bring happiness to this people after their death. But when the butcher bandits are in power, then for them one million more or less does not matter, the main thing is to prepare for the export of the revolution! Who gave you such a frost about export deliveries only in grain? At the same time, Roosevelt confiscated gold from the population and Soviet gold would have been by the way ... therefore, there is no need to mold a hunchback - it was a punishment for independence in the 18-19 years and for the fact that Stalin got horns in the campaign for "liberation "Polish workers!
    What is your rationale for famine in Kazakhstan? All livestock was seized there and sent to the USA too? And 4 million dead and 1,2 million who went abroad to whom you blame?
    Such a country and a folk of cannibals, the bloodier the regime, the more beloved! What is characteristic is that never in modern history has there been a state development program focused on improving well-being, on peaceful life, only on war! In the past 10 years, this trend has been especially noticeable, they have accelerated the modernization of the strategic nuclear forces, renewed the army, something is being done with respect to the fleet, propaganda is focused on aggression, on the seizure of foreign territories, on a hypocritical lie, on distortion of facts, on theft in unprecedented in history scale, the robbery of a faceless proud people!

Putin never completes what he has begun. So it is now. I think Siemens will "pay" who needs it and Power Machines will be left out of business. Putin forgives $ billions to Africa, and here Siemens himself offers money.

India and Iran need Siemens turbines, so let them build there. Together with Japan, they will compete on a neutral field. Maybe our turbines are promising in the future. And in front of the Americans, they quickly become frustrated and shout "yavol". Let's take it into account? The interests of the former GDR must be taken into account.

Well, you will defend, having thrown everything straight, come, right?
And what happens to those who could not defend themselves, your exemplary USA has repeatedly shown that in Yugoslavia, in Iraq, there are enough other places.
Only when, in the midst of the bombing of Yugoslavia, some unlucky or inept pilot of the US Air Force managed to get into the territory of the Chinese Embassy, and with the consequences, there was as if someone was hurt, from the Chinese, well, after that, not a day and not two - as the grandmother whispered with the bombing, why would it, eh? - "the cat smells whose meat it has eaten" (c)

PJSC Power Machines is not against Siemens, with whom it has a partnership, they are against the conclusion of a special investment contract between the Ministry of Industry and Trade and Siemens, under which Siemens can import turbines manufactured by Siemens abroad for three years into Russia.
If, when concluding a SPIC, this clause can be eliminated or reduced to one year by providing other benefits, then the number of "imported" turbines will sharply decrease and the market will wait for turbines produced by a joint venture in Russia.
The government has to choose between Siemens, which, having invested a billion rubles in the joint venture (in fact a mere penny), will freely transport to Russia dozens of its turbines produced at foreign plants and will satisfy the needs of the Russian market for 7-10 years ahead.
At the same time, the domestic manufacturer, which has not been ordered, has never mastered the production of turbines, will be bent forever, and Siemens will have the opportunity to twist their hands again and set any conditions for Russia.
