Overview
Since the early 1970s, South Korea has implemented a policy to ensure a stable energy supply and demand by diversifying fuel sources, focusing on expanding bituminous coal-fired and natural gas-fired power plants.
Accordingly, KEPCO E&C has developed coal-fired power plant designs suitable for domestic conditions, equipped with outstanding technical and economic viability.
At KEPCO E&C, we have secured world-class power plant design technology, ranging from the supercritical 500MW Korean standard coal-fired power plants, through the 800MW upgraded capacity coal-fired power plants, to the large-capacity 1000MW next-generation coal-fired power plants. In addition, we also designed 300MW IGCC(Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle) demonstration plants successfully, ushering in the era of commercialization of high-efficiency and clean coal-fired technology. Moreover, we have performed the A/E for more than 60 cogeneration and combined cycle power plants.
KEPCO E&C provides engineering services not only in the nuclear sector but in various electricity business areas such as renewable energy including offshore wind power, and green hydrogen and ammonia businesses in full compliance with the government's carbon neutrality policy.
