Doosan had held the final assembly event at the head office in Changwon for the first large gas turbine for power generation. It’s currently being developed as part of a national project sponsored by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy and the Korea Institute of Energy Technology Evaluation and Planning. Once it has passed an in-house performance test in 2020, Korea will become one of the five countries along with the United States, Germany, Japan, and Italy to have secured independent gas turbines for power generation.

Set to Expand Gas Turbine Service Business at Home and Abroad

Doosan signed a memorandum of understanding with MCV, American private energy firm, to extend cooperation in maintenance and improvement of MCV’s gas turbines. With the MOU, Doosan expects to strengthen its foothold in gas turbine aftermarket business. In the Korean domestic market, it had won a contract to maintain the exhaust cylinders of three gas turbines installed at Units 4 to 6 of the Ulsan Oil Fired & C.C Power Complex. The order was a follow-up to the successful maintenance of the gas turbine exhaust cylinder of Unit 3 of the same complex.

Materialize the First Entry into Small Modular Reactor Market in USA

Doosan completed equity investment in NuScale Power for its small modular reactor (SMR) technology and executed a business collaboration agreement with NuScale Power for the NuScale Power Module™ (NPM) and other equipment supply. Doosan plans to supply equipment worth at least $1.3 billion to NuScale Power for both U.S. and global deployment of the NuScale power plant.
