A two-shaft gas turbine is provided that can raise an inlet temperature of a high-pressure turbine and the air quantity of a compressor to respective rated values at any atmospheric temperature without using a variable stator vane in the initial stage of a low-pressure turbine. [0002] The two-shaft gas turbine includes a power generator 21 having a compressor 11, a combustor 12 and a high-pressure turbine 13; a low-pressure turbine 14 driven by exhaust gas from the high-pressure turbine 13; a generator motor 23 connected to the gas generator 21; and a control unit 24. When either one of a value of the inlet temperature of the high-pressure turbine 13 and a value of the air quantity of the compressor 11 reaches a rated value before the other value reaches a rated value, the control unit 24 drives the generator motor 23 to bring the other value close to the rated value.
