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.

Construction Initiated for Gimpo CHP Plant, a Demonstration Site for Doosan’s Large Industrial Gas Turbine
Construction has commenced for the Gimpo Combined Heat & Power (CHP) Plant project, which involves installation of the large industrial gas turbine that was locally manufactured and developed by Doosan. The development of the gas turbine established Doosan as the fifth company in the world to successfully accomplish such a feat by itself. Doosan secured the opportunity to take part in the demonstration of a large gas turbine when it signed a gas turbine supplier agreement with Korea Western Power. Korea Western Power will be providing Doosan with useful operating and technical information acquired from the demonstration project to facilitate a successful market entry for the next generation Korean-style combined cycle power plant model that is developed.
Offshore Wind Power Emerges as Doosan Heavy’s New Growth Engine
Doosan is preparing to penetrate in full force the market for offshore wind power by establishing this area as its new growth engine in line with the government’s Green New Deal initiative. As the leading Korean company in the offshore wind power sector, we intend to actively participate in the Green New Deal initiative and contribute to promoting the growth of the domestic offshore wind power market.”
Min. KRW 1.5 trillion worth of SMRs to be Supplied to US and Global Markets
The SMR(small modular reactor) project in the States, which Doosan is participating in as the main equipment supplier, is gaining momentum. The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed the Phase 6 review—the last and final phase—of the Design Certification Application for the SMR developed by the U.S. based NuScale, with which Doosan Heavy has a strategic partnership. Doosan will supply at least US$1.3 billion worth of major SMR equipment to the US and other global markets through NuScale.
Contract Signed to Build Korea’s First Hydrogen Liquefaction Plant
Doosan will be constructing Korea’s very first hydrogen liquefaction plant, together with Gyeongnam Province, Changwon City and Changwon Industry Promotion Agency (CWIP). Doosan will be building the plant, which is to have a daily production capacity of 5 tons of liquefied hydrogen, within the grounds of its Changwon plant in Gyeongnam by 2022. The plant will start commercial operation in 2023, and the liquefied hydrogen will be supplied to hydrogen charging stations nationwide.
Expansion of Hydropower Business
Doosan is expanding its hydropower business by participating in the development of the Upper Trishuli-1 hydropower plant in Nepal and a hydropower plant in Pakistan. Furthermore, Doosan signed an MoU with Korea Western Power to cooperate on developing a hydropower plant in Phou Ngoy, Laos, while also signing a MoU with Korea Midland Power to jointly develop overseas hydropower markets.
Participation in Green Hydrogen Demonstration Project
Doosan is actively expanding its green energy business portfolio and is about to participate in a green hydrogen demonstration project that is to take place on South Korea’s Jeju island. This will be Korea’s first wind power-based green hydrogen demonstration project and will involve performing an entire life cycle assessment from hydrogen production to utilization.
