Under the turnkey contract with the state-run Algerian Society of Electricity Production, the consortium consisting of Daewoo International, Hyundai Engineering and Hyundai Engineering & Construction will construct the 1,200-megawatt power plant in Algeria's northeastern town of Ain Arnat, the Daewoo statement said.
The power station will rise over a period of 39 months, it added.
South Korean builders are competing with firms from China and Brazil for construction contracts in fast-growing Africa.
