The plant will cost 9.49 billion won to build and construction is slated to start later this year with commissioning in October 2005.
Under the terms of the contract, Eco Energy, which has Hyundai Mobis and Doosan Heavy Industries as its major shareholders, will build and manage the plant for 11 years before handing it over to the Korean Government.
