The Manjung 5 Coal-Fired Power Plant built in the Manjung region, Malaysia by Daelim commenced commercial operations on September 28. Officials of the client, Malaysia’s TNB, Daelim’s Managing Director Kim Jae-gyo, Daelim’s Kuala Lumpur branch manager, and Malaysian Fast Track 3A site personnel attended the commemorative event.

The project involves building a 1000MW coal-fired power plant in the Manjung region, Malaysia. Despite the short construction period of 45 months (more than 50 months are generally required), the project was completed ahead of the contracted period. Daelim has researched measures to shorten the construction period by forming a project team since August 2013 when the order was finalized. Daelim boldly adopted construction methods usually not used for existing coal-fired power plants considering the weak ground and complex administrative procedures as well as equipment.

Technical innovation was linked with high quality. The 10 instances of plant shutdown occurred during the test runs of the power plant. Plant shutdown means suspending the operation of a power plant if things to be supplemented arise during the test runs; 30 occasions of plant shutdown on average occur in general.

The Manjung 5 Coal-Fired Power Plant was completed with USC (ultra-super critical) system, which is an eco-friendly, highly efficient power generation mode. This mode is a technology reducing CO2 emissions and fuel use by using higher pressure and vapor temperature than the existing power generation modes. The power plant was a large-scale project whose construction cost was KRW 1.3 trillion. With commercial operations commenced, power that can be used by 1.3 million people is slated to be supplied to the central region of Malaysia.
