Hyundai Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. (HHI) completed 144 units of Diesel Power Plant (DPP) delivery to Iraq. The DPPs are worth US$380 million.

The DPPs, ordered by the Iraqi government in June last year, have a total capacity of 360MW and can provide electricity to 120,000 households.  HHI started to supply the DPPs from February and delivered the last DPP on June 15.

The DPPs will be installed in 12 regions, including Baghdad, and supply electricity to households and industry. It is one of Iraqi restoration work after war.

The DPP unit is a small sized power plant which can be installed quickly and can use both light oil and heavy oil as fuel. It is popular in challenging environments, areas that have poor electrical infrastructure and war-torn countries because it is easy to install and convenient to use.

HHI has exported more than a thousand Packaged Diesel Power facilities to 23 countries throughout South Asia, the Middle East, South America, Europe, and Africa. The company has so far been contracted to supply a total of 180 DPPs worth US$420 million to Iraq.

The ‘HiMSEN’ Engine, which is used in all Packaged Diesel Power facilities, was developed by HHI.

About Hyundai:

Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI), founded by the late Chung Ju-yung on March 23, 1972, wrote the first chapter of its shipbuilding history in June, 1974, by completing construction of the world's largest shipyard and two 260,000-dwt VLCCs all at the same time. A decade after its first delivery, the Hyundai Shipyard topped 10 million deadweight tons in aggregate ship production, and has maintained the leading position in the world shipbuilding market ever since. Hyundai Shipard's drive has mirrored the growth of modern Korean heavy industry, and its success has allowed it to expand into other heavy industry areas, ultimately leading to the formation of Hyundai Heavy Industries, an integrated heavy industry company.

The latest chapter of HHI's history began when it separated from the Hyundai Group in February, 2002. The independent establishment of the Hyundai Heavy Industries Group included taking over Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries and the Hyundai Mipo Dockyard.

Our vision is to become a "Global Leader" in the heavy industries sector. Three decades ago that vision was only a dream, but after transforming an empty stretch of beach into the world's largest shipyard, that dream has become a reality. Our vision is a vast bridge connecting "reality" and "future" and has ultimately allowed us to lead to our field. This vision is a part of the "Hyundai Spirit": Creative Wisdom, Positive Thinking, and Unwavering Drive.
