This agreement was established to actively promote the global gas turbine service market entry of 'Gas Turbine Team Korea.' According to the agreement, participating companies will cooperate in technology development and fostering the industrial ecosystem, and in particular, Korea Southern Power and Doosan Enerbility plan to engage in joint marketing for full-scale entry into the U.S. market.

The primary target is the 7F (150MW class) gas turbine service market supplied by overseas manufacturers within the U.S. More than 940 units of the 7F gas turbine have been supplied worldwide, with over 660 units operating in the U.S. The global 7F gas turbine service market is expected to be worth about 1 trillion KRW annually. Doosan Enerbility has a specialized gas turbine service subsidiary, DTS (Doosan Turbomachinery Services), located in Houston, USA.

Vice Chairman Jung Yeonin of Doosan Enerbility said, "Gas Turbine Team Korea has steadily accumulated experience domestically based on cooperation with Korea Southern Power. We will actively utilize the proven competitiveness in Korea and the network of our local subsidiary to create success cases in the U.S. gas turbine service market."

Gas Turbine Team Korea has laid the foundation for overseas market entry by nurturing the domestic ecosystem early on. Starting with the design improvement of 7F gas turbine high-temperature parts performance in 2018, in 2022, a business agreement was signed to apply domestically developed and manufactured 7F gas turbine high-temperature parts to domestic power plants. Last year, Doosan Enerbility and domestic partners achieved results by participating in the 7F gas turbine rotor life extension and casing replacement projects at power plants operated by Korea Southern Power.
