Doosan Enerbility to Supply Main Equipment for 280 Billion Won Andong Combined Power Plant Unit 2

380MW-scale H-class Ultra-large Gas Turbine

Doosan Enerbility announced on the 25th that it has signed a main equipment supply contract worth 280 billion KRW for Unit 2 of the Andong Combined Cycle Power Plant with Korea Southern Power. The signing ceremony held at the InterContinental Seoul Hotel was attended by Lee Seung-woo, President of Korea Southern Power, Jung Yeon-in, Vice Chairman of Doosan Enerbility, and other officials from both companies.

Unit 2 of the Andong Combined Cycle Power Plant is being constructed in Pungsan-eup, Andong-si, Gyeongbuk Province, with a capacity of 569MW, and is scheduled for completion in December 2026. Doosan Enerbility will supply a 380MW-class H-class (high-efficiency model with turbine inlet temperature above 1500℃) ultra-large gas turbine, steam turbine, and heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) developed with domestic technology.

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).

Doosan Enerbility has established a close cooperative system with Korea Southern Power, which operates the largest number of gas turbines domestically, to revitalize the domestic gas turbine industry.

Since 2018, the two companies have been conducting a development project for high-temperature parts of F-class (turbine inlet temperature approximately 1300~1400℃) gas turbines and plan to carry out demonstration at the Busan Combined Cycle Power Plant. They also signed a contract in 2022 for the rotor life extension of the Busan Combined Cycle Power Plant gas turbine and have jointly participated in a government project since last year for 50% hydrogen co-firing in F-class gas turbines to reduce carbon emissions.

Doosan Enerbility succeeded in domestic production of large gas turbines for power generation in 2019 and supplied the first domestically produced gas turbine to the Gimpo Combined Heat and Power Plant operated by Korea Western Power. Last year, it signed a contract to supply a 380MW-class Korean standard gas combined cycle model developed through national projects with over 340 domestic industry-academic-research institutions to the Boryeong New Combined Cycle Power Plant of Korea Midland Power. It is also developing a 400MW-class ultra-large hydrogen combustion turbine with a target completion in 2027.

Vice Chairman Jung said, "We are very honored to be able to work together with Korea Southern Power, which has strived to strengthen the competitiveness of Korean gas turbines, to expand gas turbines made with domestic technology." He added, "We will expand cooperation to long-term maintenance services for gas turbines, enhance the capabilities of the domestic gas turbine industry across all fields, and actively pursue overseas market entry."
