Korea South-East Power Company announced on August 7 that it has selected the Doosan Enerbility consortium as the preferred bidder for the lump-sum supply contract with installation conditions for the Hadong Combined Power Plant construction project.

The construction of the Hadong Combined Power Plant is a project to replace Hadong Thermal Power Units 2 and 3 (1,000MW), which are aging coal-fired plants, with an LNG combined cycle power plant in line with the government's energy transition policy. The project is presented as a "just transition" model, utilizing idle land from the existing Hadong Thermal Power Plant to prevent regional hollowing-out and to help boost the local economy.

This contract is a supply contract with installation conditions that integrates detailed design, equipment supply, installation, and construction of the power plant. Doosan Enerbility will take full responsibility for the design, procurement, and construction (EPC). Korea South-East Power Company explained, "By integrating the procurement, we have preemptively prevented risks such as disruptions between contractors and disputes over responsibilities which can occur with separate orders, significantly improving project management efficiency."

Ahn Yonghwan, Head of Construction at Korea South-East Power Company, stated, "Based on thorough project management, we will complete the Hadong Combined Power Plant project according to the planned timeline without any setbacks," adding, "We will faithfully implement the government's energy transition policy while also contributing to the stabilization of the national power supply."

Korea South-East Power Company is scheduled to sign the final contract in September. Construction of the Hadong LNG Combined Power Plant is planned to begin in January 2027, with completion targeted for December 2029.
