This project is part of the initiative to replace the coal-fired Boryeong Unit 5 with an LNG combined cycle power plant. It involves constructing a 500MW combined cycle power plant on the site of the now-vacant Boryeong Combined Cycle Unit 4, located in the Gojung National Industrial Complex in Ocheon-myeon, Boryeong-si, Chungnam Province, which was previously used for Incheon Combined Cycle Unit 3 in 2013. The contract amount is 186.4 billion KRW, with completion scheduled for June 2026.

HJ Heavy Industries is currently engaged in the construction of the Shinsejong Combined Cycle Power Plant and the Gangneung Anin Thermal Power Plant. Last month, it completed the Yangsan district energy facility construction. Additionally, the company has continuously undertaken power plant construction projects in locations such as Yangju, Byeollae, Chuncheon, and Seocheon. HJ Heavy Industries explained that its abundant construction experience and technical expertise were key driving forces in being selected as the successful bidder. Furthermore, it is entering its fourth year with zero major industrial accidents, a rarity among large construction companies.

An official from HJ Heavy Industries stated, "Based on our domestic and international experience and know-how in power facility construction, we will focus our capabilities on safety and quality management to ensure the successful progress of the Boryeong New Combined Cycle Unit 1 power plant construction project."
