A gas turbine engine and a method of operating the same at idle speed are presented. The engine has a drive motor for causing the compressor to rotate and a motor control system having a motor power-up module with an input connected to the fuel supply control system, and a motor power output control module having a first input connected to the motor power-up module, a second input connected to the temperature sensor at the outlet of the compressor turbine, and an output which is connected to the drive motor. The method for operating the gas turbine engine includes the steps of reducing the quantity of fuel supplied for burning when said gas turbine engine idles to a quantity which is necessary to maintain a preset temperature at the outlet of the compressor turbine, and causing the compressor to rotate upon the reducing of the quantity of fuel supplied for burning in the combustor.
