According to Mr Boris Paton member of the National Academy of Ukraine, the use of worn out and obsolete Gas Turbine Engines bring about the degradation of Ukraine's Gas Transport System. It also leads to excessive gas losses because of its low efficiency.

He said that Ukraine's GTS needs new-generation, high efficiency and durable GTEs to solve problems regarding the ecology and saving gas, as well as for the uninterrupted supply of gas in Ukraine and Europe.

Millennium Capital analyst said that “The biggest GTE producers in Ukraine are SMASH and MSICH. They will receive the lion's share of contracts when there is a GTS modernization, which at the moment is the subject of much talk but little action.”
