The steam turbine and generator supply for a data center project demonstrates efficiency gains from gas-steam integration while establishing a foothold in North America.

Doosan Enerbility has signed a contract to supply steam turbines and generators for a U.S.-based data center project, expanding its footprint in North America’s rapidly growing power market driven by AI infrastructure. The company announced that it will deliver two 370-MW-class steam turbines and two generators to support the facility. The agreement represents Doosan’s first steam turbine supply contract with a North American customer.

“This recently won contract confirmed for us once again the strong faith shown by the North American market in our Doosan power technologies,” said Seungwoo Sohn, CEO of Doosan Enerbility’s Power Services Business Group. “We plan to step up our efforts to strengthen the partnerships we have with North American clients and further solidify our position in the market as a comprehensive solutions provider whose offerings include gas and steam turbines.”

The award follows a recent gas turbine order and signals growing momentum for Doosan in the region’s combined-cycle power segment. By supplying both gas and steam turbine equipment, the company is positioning itself as a full-scope provider for high-efficiency power generation systems. The contract will serve as a foundation for further growth in the region, strengthening its competitiveness in future large-scale combined-cycle projects.

Combined-cycle plants use gas turbines to generate electricity, then capture exhaust heat to produce steam that drives a steam turbine, increasing overall efficiency. This approach is particularly relevant for data centers, which require continuous, large-scale power and place a premium on reliability and efficiency.

As demand for electricity surges alongside the expansion of AI-driven data centers, operators are prioritizing technologies capable of delivering stable, around-the-clock performance. Doosan aims to leverage this trend by expanding its presence among utilities and independent power producers across North America.

Data Center Contract

Earlier this month, Doosan Enerbility obtained an additional U.S.-based contract to deliver seven 380-MW gas turbines. Beginning in May 2029, the company will sequentially supply gas turbines and generators, one of each per month, to the client’s under-construction data center. With this contract, Doosan Enerbility is now scheduled to deliver 12 gas turbines to various clients in the United States, bolstering its position in the global market.

The company’s rapid expansion into the U.S. gas turbine market is enabled by proven performance, swift delivery time, and locally established maintenance services. Doosan Turbomachinery Services, the company’s Houston-based subsidiary in the United States, features gas turbine maintenance capabilities that were key in securing recent contracts.

Dukovany Nuclear Plant

In late February 2026, Doosan Enerbility signed an approximately KRW 320 billion contract with its Czech subsidiary, Doosan Skoda Power, to supply a steam turbine and turbine control system for the Dukovany Nuclear Power Plant Units 5 and 6—a nuclear newbuild project underway in the Czech Republic. The contract scope includes supplying two machinery units consisting of the steam turbine-generator and control system.

This contract represents the first nuclear newbuild project to be executed by both Doosan Enerbility and Doosan Skoda Power, aiming to reach maximum synergy by combining extensive manufacturing experience with nuclear components-related expertise. If Doosan’s Team Korea wins additional contracts following execution, the company may collaborate with Doosan Skoda Power on Temelin Nuclear Power Plant Units 3 and 4.
