Doosan Enerbility has signed a contract with Vietnam’s largest state-owned enterprise for the construction of 1,155 MW gas-fired combined cycle power plant. That makes it five contracts secured in this year alone for construction of gas-fired combined cycle power plants.
The latest deal with Petrovietnam (PVN) is for construction of the O Mon 4 combined cycle power plant. Doosan won the contract with its consortium partner PECC2, a Vietnamese power plant construction company. Doosan’s role will be to supply the main components and handle construction and overall commissioning process. The O Mon 4 power plant is slated to be built by 2028. It is located about 180km southwest of Ho Chi Minh City.
“As Vietnam has plans to additionally build gas-fired combined cycle power plants with a maximum combined capacity of 37.4 GW, we will actively endeavor to secure more orders here,” said Hyeonho Lee, CEO of Doosan Enerbility’s Plant EPC Business Group.
