In the early 1980s, they accounted for about 15% of the country's total electricity production and were retired in February 2022 after approximately 41 years of operation.

HJ Heavy Industries Construction Division won the contract through a comprehensive evaluation bidding system, which selects the successful bidder by thoroughly reviewing construction capability, construction plans, and bid prices.

The contract amount for the dismantling work is 57.5 billion KRW. The construction period is 27 months, scheduled to be completed by March 2026. The project includes dismantling and demolition of all mechanical and control equipment, including three 400 MW turbines, concrete buildings, and steel structures.

HJ Heavy Industries is currently carrying out construction work for Boryeong New Combined Cycle Unit 1 Power Plant, Shin Sejong Combined Cycle Power Plant, and Gangneung Anin Thermal Power Plant.

An HJ Heavy Industries official stated, "We will successfully complete the dismantling work of Ulsan Thermal Power Units 4 to 6 with our domestic and international power facility construction experience and expertise," adding, "We will focus our capabilities on winning future projects based on our track record and technical skills."
