SEOUL, January 05 (AJP) - Shares of Doosan Enerbility surged more than 10 percent on Monday, buoyed by a string of major orders spanning offshore wind and nuclear power, as rising electricity demand in the AI era fuels investor optimism toward power infrastructure plays.
The stock ended at 83,200 won, up 10.64 percent. Trading volume topped 12 million shares, well above recent averages, reflecting heightened investor interest. The shares have risen more than fourfold from their closing level of 18,190 won a year earlier.
The rally followed news that the company last week secured a 575 billion won ($430 million) engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract with Yawol Offshore Wind Power for the 104-megawatt Yeonggwang Yawol Offshore Wind Farm in South Jeolla Province. Under the deal, Doosan Enerbility will supply and install 13 units of its 8-megawatt offshore wind turbines and oversee the entire EPC process, with completion slated for March 2029.
The project marks the first commercial deployment of the company’s domestically developed 8-megawatt-class offshore wind turbines, which have received UL certification. Analysts said the contract signals a shift from development to full-scale commercialization, improving earnings visibility through EPC revenue and planned long-term maintenance services.
Investor sentiment was further supported by the company’s expanding nuclear power business. Doosan Enerbility recently won a 5.64 trillion won order to supply key equipment for the expansion of the Dukovany nuclear power plant in the Czech Republic, reinforcing its position in the global nuclear supply chain.
Expectations of accelerating global investment in nuclear power and small modular reactors, driven by surging electricity demand from AI data centers — particularly in the United States — also boosted foreign investor appetite for the stock, analysts said.
