Power generation equipment giant General Electric (GE) has opened an energy technology center in Kaluga, near Moscow, according to the Kaluga Region administration.
"The General Electric energy technology center started work in the Rosva industrial park near Kaluga, 180 km from Moscow. It will carry out service work on electrical equipment made by GE and used in Russia. The total sum invested in the center is $50 million," a Kaluga administration source said.
Around 100 highly qualified specialists will work at the center, which will primarily undertake overhaul of components from GE gas turbines working in Russia and the CIS, starting in 2011.
The opening of the center was attended by Kaluga Regional Governor Anatoly Artamonov, US Ambassador in Russia John Bayerle and GE representatives.
