Doosan Enerbility announced on February 11 that it held a contract signing ceremony with Korea Southern Power for the supply of three 380 MW-class gas turbines. The ceremony took place at Doosan Enerbility's Changwon headquarters and was attended by Suh Seongjae, Senior Vice President of Technology & Safety at Korea Southern Power, Son Seungwoo, Head of the Power Service Business Group at Doosan Enerbility, and other officials from both companies.

Under this contract, Doosan Enerbility will supply three gas turbines to two power plants that Korea Southern Power is currently developing. Two gas turbines will be delivered to the Hadong Combined Cycle Power Plant, which is being built in Hadong County, South Gyeongsang Province, with a capacity of 1,000 MW, and one gas turbine will be supplied to the Goyang Changneung Cogeneration Plant, which is being constructed in Goyang City, Gyeonggi Province, with a capacity of 500 MW. Doosan Enerbility will also supply generators and auxiliary equipment, and both plants are targeting the start of commercial operation in December 2029.

Doosan Enerbility has maintained a close cooperative relationship with Korea Southern Power, the largest gas turbine operator in Korea, to vitalize the domestic gas turbine industry. Since 2018, the two companies have jointly carried out a development project for high-temperature 7F-class gas turbine components, working to localize core technologies. Through this effort, they succeeded in localizing major components such as 7F-class turbines, combustors, and rotors. After successful commissioning at the Busan Bitdream Power Plant in 2025, the plant is now in commercial operation.

The two companies are also collaborating to promote Korean gas turbine technology overseas and to enter the global gas turbine service market, including a joint presentation at the world's largest gas turbine user conference held in the United States last year. The 7F-class gas turbine is a high-efficiency model with a turbine inlet temperature of approximately 1,300 to 1,400 degrees Celsius.

Son Seungwoo, Head of the Power Service Business Group at Doosan Enerbility, said, "Including this contract, Korea Southern Power has signed purchase agreements for a total of four gas turbines so far, playing an important role in the expansion of domestically produced gas turbines and the development of the domestic ecosystem. Doosan Enerbility will successfully deliver this project through rigorous quality control and strict adherence to schedules, and will continue to actively supply competitive gas turbines to the domestic market."

Excluding four gas turbines for coal power replacement plants that were bid for and contracted before the full-scale mass production of its in-house gas turbine model, Doosan Enerbility has either already signed supply contracts for, or is in the process of supplying, all gas turbines for domestic combined-cycle power plants. The company plans to gradually expand its gas turbine production capacity to actively respond to growing domestic demand.
