An apparatus and method for improving reduced-load operation of steam turbines. The apparatus may include a number of low pressure sections and a flow control system operable to limit the flow of steam to at least one of the number of low pressure sections. The method may include providing a number of low pressure sections, providing a flow control system operable to limit the flow of steam to at least one of the number of low pressure sections, and operating the flow control system to limit the flow of steam to the at least one of the number of low pressure sections when the load is below a predetermined value.
