JSC “Turboatom” fulfilled its obligations in full under the contract for the supply of equipment to Metsamor (Armenian) NPP, which was concluded in March 2017.

According to the contract, “Turboatom” upgraded two K-220-44 turbines with a rated capacity of 220 MW each at power unit No. 2 of the nuclear power plant. To do this, the company manufactured and delivered to the nuclear power plant the upgraded cylinders of one turbine (TG-3) in May 2018, which was put into operation in November 2018, and also supplied the cylinders of the second turbine (TG-4) in November 2018.
