Siemens, KOSPO complete Andong power plant in South Korea

It has an electrical capacity of 417 MW.

The Andong combined cycle power plant (CCPP) in South Korea was erected in a record time of only 24 months.
This liquefied natural gas (LNG) fired plant has an electrical capacity of 417 megawatts (MW), making it the second Siemens operating H-class-based combined-cycle power plant in Asia with an efficiency level of more than 60 percent. The owner and operator is Korea Southern Power Co. Ltd. (KOSPO), a leading power supply utility.

KOSPO teamed up with Siemens and GS E&C in successfully accomplishing this record schedule based upon their common experience in power construction industry. Designed for 250 starts per year, with a startup time of only 30 minutes from standstill to full load, the Andong CCPP is particularly flexible, allowing it to react optimally to the rapidly changing challenges posed by the Korean power market.
