Daelim has recently signed a contract to build a USD 213 million (KRW 228.7 billion) ZAM 100 Coal-Fired Power Plant with the Alcantara Group in Manila, Philippines. President Lee Chul-gyun, Daelim’s Plant Business Division Head, and related personnel of the client attended the contract signing ceremony.

This project was ordered by the Alcantara Group’s power generation subsidiary, San Ramon Power Inc., and total power generation capacity is 100MW. The plant will be built in Zamboanga, Philippines, and construction will take 35 months. Daelim will supply in EPC turnkey fashion the master design, detailed designs, and plant’s core facilities – boilers and main equipment -- and subsequently carry out the test run as well. In particular, the company plans to construct an eco-friendly power plant by applying circulating fluidized bed (CFB) boiler that can sharply reduce air pollutants such as nitrogen oxide or sulfur oxide compared to the existing thermal power plants.
