On January 7, 2010, KEPCO E&C signed a 114.4 billion won (approx. USD 100 million) worth of contract to provide engineering services for Unit 1 and 2 at the Shinboryeong Thermal Power Plant with Korea Midland Power Co., Ltd. 

The Shinboryeong Power Plant consists of two 1,000MW coal-fired ultrasuper critical  units adjacent to the Boryeong Thermal Power Complex in Boryeong, Chungcheongnam-do, Korea. KEPCO E&C will carry out basic and detail design for site preparation, generating facilities and auxiliary facilities. 

KEPCO E&C participated in a government led project to develop next generation technology for thermal power plants together with KEPCO and Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction from 2003 to 2007. The new technology is going to be applied to the Shinborying Units for commercilization. Unit 1 and 2 are scheduled for completion in June 2016 and June 2017 respectively.

Only bidders who had passed prequalification were invited to the bid. KEPCO E&C showed its design and engineering superiority over other bidders from the private firms in the bid process, which was the key to the success. The bid award also proves KEPCO E&C’s premire position in the thermal power plant design and engineering. 

In fact, the Shinboryeong project is the second 1,000MW ultrasuper critical project for KEPCO E&C. The first one is the Dangjin Unit 9 and 10 project which is in the course of construction under the engineering services contract between KEPCO E&C and Korea East-West Power signed in 2007. Based on these results, KEPCO E&C expects that chances are high to be awarded the upcoming 1,000MW thermal power plant bid which is scheduled for the first half of this year. In addition, KEPCO E&C aims to strengthen its leading position in the industry by devoting itself to eco-friendly and highly efficient coal fired power plants based on the accmulated technology and knowhow in the various projects.
