Maintenance support for the packages will be managed by the Russian service centre of Centrax while GES will monitor remotely the technical and economic performance of the sets. The first generator set will power a district heating plant on the eastern outskirts of Moscow, serving the rapid growth of the city while also replacing old heating plant.
