32Doosan Enerbility said Friday it signed a contract to build a combined-cycle gas turbine (CCGT) power plant in Misfah, Oman, with a consortium led by Qatar's Nebras Power, in a deal worth approximately 930 billion won ($670 million). For the project, Doosan Enerbility formed a consortium with SEPCO-3, a power plant construction specialist, to carry out engineering, procurement and construction — a turnkey contract method in which a single contractor handles the full process from design to completion. Doosan Enerbility will also directly manufacture and supply the plant's core equipment, including the steam turbine and generator. The Misfah power plant, to be built about 20 kilometers west of Muscat, Oman's capital, will have a generation capacity of 1,700 megawatts and is targeted for completion in April 2029. Once built, the plant is expected to help meet electricity demand and strengthen power supply stability in the region. The project owner is a consortium of global developers, including Qatar's Nebras Power, the United Arab Emirates' Emirates Utilities Development Company — a dev

32Samsung Electronics’ widening divide between its semiconductor-focused Device Solutions (DS) and finished-products-focused Device eXperience (DX) divisions is spilling over into next year's labor negotiations following a dispute over performance pay, testing the company’s model of operating the two units as largely separate businesses. The company’s DS unit, which makes memory chips and other semiconductors, has benefited from a surge in memory prices, while the DX unit, which sells smartphones, televisions and appliances, has faced higher component costs and weakening profitability. Samsung Electronics Company Union, which is mostly comprised of employees in the DX division, is holding a rally near the company’s office in Gangnam District, Seoul on Friday, expecting about 3,000 participants. The union is seeking additional compensation equivalent to 1,000 Samsung Electronics shares per DX employee, saying the pay gap with DS workers has become excessive. Meeting the demand is estimated to cost the company more than 12 trillion won ($8.68 billion). The dispute follows a wage agre

32The labor union of Hyundai Motor launched a full-day strike Friday after failing to reach an agreement with management over wages, raising concerns about further production disruptions amid sluggish vehicle sales. It marks the first time in 10 years that the automaker's union has staged an eight-hour strike. Production lines at Hyundai Motor's plants in Ulsan, Jeonju and Asan are set to be halted for a combined 16 hours across two work shifts, with about 39,000 union members participating in the walkout. Including Friday's walkout, the union has staged a combined 60 hours of strikes since wage talks with management began in May. The continued strikes are estimated to result in cumulative production losses of around 55,200 vehicles, with lost sales exceeding 2.3 trillion won ($1.64 billion), according to industry sources. Production disruptions are expected to worsen as the union plans additional four-hour walkouts Monday and Tuesday. The latest labor action comes after management and the union failed to narrow their differences over wages, a proposed 50 percent increase in performance-base
