The Czech government last June signed the main contract for the Dukovany 5 and 6 construction project with Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power, stepping up cooperation with the so-called “Team Korea.” Doosan said the latest deal is Team Korea’s first large-scale cooperation contract with a local Czech company and reflects the Czech government’s push for localization from the project’s early stages. The contract covers steam turbines, generators and turbine control systems, with equipment for two units to be supplied.
Doosan Skoda Power, a power equipment company with more than 150 years of history, has supplied 26 nuclear steam turbines to three countries: the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Finland. Doosan said the Dukovany deal is the first new nuclear plant construction project jointly carried out by Doosan Enerbility and Doosan Skoda Power, combining the subsidiary’s manufacturing experience with Doosan Enerbility’s nuclear main-equipment technology.
“This contract is a meaningful example of creating synergy by bringing together South Korea’s nuclear technology and local manufacturing capabilities for the Czech new nuclear project,” Son Seung-woo, head of Doosan Enerbility’s Power Service BG, said in a statement. He said the company will work closely with Doosan Skoda Power to complete the project successfully and contribute to the development of the Czech power industry.
