We generally develop and introduce very similar systems. We have deep and strong relations, and I see no reason for that to change in the foreseeable future. One of my biggest hopes is that one day we can work on the same projects as partners, developing them faster and at a better cost. We would create an enormous synergy... something that other countries would look at in awe!

Can you see any possible partnership projects in the near future?

There’s definitely a lot of potential, but since we haven’t really seen major joint projects, it’s reasonable to keep expectations low.
Still, in an ideal world, cooperation could absolutely happen in areas like satellites, space and aerospace projects, laser weapon systems, turbine engines, and even SMRs (Small Modular Reactors).
The technological profiles of both countries actually complement each other well, yet it just requires strong political will, long-term planning, and mutual trust to turn that potential into reality.

Doosan Enerbility is accelerating its push into the North American market after securing an additional gas turbine order in the United States.

The company announced on December 17 that it has signed a contract with a U.S.-based big tech company to supply three 380-megawatt-class gas turbines. In line with the customer’s data center construction project, Doosan Enerbility will deliver one gas turbine and one generator in 2027, followed by two gas turbines and two generators in 2028.

The latest deal follows a previous contract signed in October for the supply of two gas turbines, bringing the total number of gas turbines ordered by the same U.S. big tech company to five within approximately two months.

Doosan Enerbility attributed its rapid increase in gas turbine orders in the U.S. market to its proven product performance, fast delivery capabilities, and stable after-sales support provided through its local subsidiary. Since achieving localization of large-scale gas turbines in 2019, the company has accumulated more than 17,000 hours of demonstration operations, establishing strong technological credibility. Including the latest contract, Doosan Enerbility has now secured orders for a total of 12 gas turbines, further demonstrating its competitiveness in the global market. The maintenance and service capabilities of its Houston-based subsidiary, Doosan Turbomachinery Services (DTS), have also played a key role in expanding U.S. orders.

Son Seung-woo, Head of the Power Service Business Group at Doosan Enerbility, said that following its first overseas export, the company’s success in securing additional contracts has helped solidify its presence in the global gas turbine market. He added that Doosan Enerbility will continue to strengthen its competitiveness in the rapidly growing North American market and proactively respond to rising demand.
