Doosan Enerbility Begins Full-Scale Export of Korean-Style Gas Turbines to the Philippines

Strengthening Marketing with Major Energy Companies Including Meralco, the Philippines' Largest Power Transmission and Distribution Company

Doosan Enerbility has promoted its technological capabilities in the Philippines to explore exports of Korean-type gas turbines.

On the 26th, Doosan Enerbility announced that it introduced Korean-type gas turbines and hydrogen turbines being developed as a national project to potential customers including government officials from the Philippine Congress and the Department of Environment, as well as the largest power transmission and distribution company Meralco and developer Aboitiz in Manila, Philippines.

On the 24th, Doosan Enerbility set up a promotional booth at a sports event attended by many stakeholders from the Philippine energy sector. The event, hosted by Union Bank, the largest commercial bank in the Philippines, and the Philippine NGO Next Generation Advocate Foundation PH Inc., was attended by Doosan Enerbility President Jeong Yeon-in and Vice President Kim Jeong-gwan, among others.

President Jeong said, “Based on our know-how from successfully carrying out numerous projects in the Philippines, we intend to pursue entry into the Philippine gas turbine market, which uses the same frequency (60Hz) as Korea.” The world’s commercial electric frequencies are divided into 60Hz (USA, Canada, Korea, etc.) and 50Hz (Europe, Australia, China, etc.), and the Philippines uses the same 60Hz frequency as Korea.

He added, “We will continue to actively promote the competitiveness of Korean-type gas turbines owned by Doosan Enerbility through customized marketing for domestic and international customers, striving to lead to future exports.”

Doosan Enerbility succeeded in domestic production of large gas turbines for power generation in 2019 and supplied Korea’s first gas turbine to the Gimpo Combined Heat and Power Plant of Korea Western Power.

Since 2021, it has developed a Korean standard gas combined cycle model as a national project with over 340 domestic industry-academia-research institutions, and in June signed a main equipment supply contract including a 380MW H-class ultra-large gas turbine with Korea Midland Power for the Boryeong New Combined Cycle Power Plant.

The H-class turbine refers to a high-efficiency turbine made of superalloy materials that can withstand high temperatures above 1500°C. Gas turbines are classified by capacity into small (20?99.9MW), medium (100?214.9MW), large (215?299.9MW), and ultra-large (300MW or more).
