MiCo Acquires Global HRSG Leader NEM Energy

Founded in 1929, NEM Energy has accumulated nearly a century of engineering expertise in Heat Recovery Steam Generator (HRSG) systems—a core component of Combined Cycle Power Plants (CCPP)—as well as Exhaust and Divertor Systems (EDS), Gas Turbine Emission Reduction Systems (T-SCR), and Heat Exchangers (HXR). The company has long-standing partnerships with major Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) companies, global gas turbine Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), and utility institutions, establishing a strong brand presence in key markets such as Europe, North America, and the Middle East.

Since 2004, HPS has established manufacturing bases in South Korea, China, and Vietnam. Its subsidiary YHHI, located in Yantai, China, is renowned in the global HRSG market for leading manufacturing quality and cost efficiency. This acquisition combines NEM Energy's proprietary design with HPS's large-scale manufacturing capabilities, equipping MiCo with end-to-end capabilities covering the entire HRSG value chain from design to delivery.

The global power market is currently entering a phase of structural growth, driven primarily by surging electricity demand from Artificial Intelligence (AI) data centers and accelerated electrification. As a key bridging power source to meet this urgent baseload demand, the market for HRSGs—the core component of CCPPs—is expected to see robust growth. HPS CEO Tae Hyung Ha stated that this acquisition marks a decisive moment for the global growth strategy of the MiCo Group and HPS. By integrating NEM Energy's century-long engineering heritage with HPS's manufacturing scale and cost competitiveness, a global energy platform capable of leading the HRSG market will be created, with long-term potential seen in distributed heat and power, renewable energy, and nuclear power sectors.
