This project is a modernization initiative for the aging power plant commissioned by GS Power, the operator of the Bucheon Combined Heat and Power Plant. The Bucheon plant began commercial operation in 1993 in line with the construction of the Jungdong New Town in Bucheon. This year marks the 30-year design lifespan, prompting a full-scale facility replacement project. Upon completion, the power generation capacity will increase from 450MW to 1000MW. Additionally, equipment to reduce emissions of pollutants such as fine dust generated during plant operation will be installed, transforming it into an eco-friendly power plant.

DL E&C secured this project based on its recognized experience and expertise in successfully executing various power generation projects both domestically and internationally. Notably, it has a track record of similar projects such as the Incheon Songdo Combined Heat and Power Plant and the Gyeonggi-do Gwanggyo Combined Heat and Power Plant.

DL E&C is actively pursuing new orders in the plant sector this year. So far, it has achieved approximately 2.8 trillion KRW in new plant orders. The initial annual target for plant sector orders was 3.5 trillion KRW.

Yoo Jae-ho, Head of the Plant Business Division, stated, "We were selected for this project due to the high recognition of our extensive experience in constructing various power plants by the client. We will do our utmost to transform the Bucheon Combined Heat and Power Plant into a high-efficiency, eco-friendly power plant through successful project execution."
