Thermal Power Plants in Overseas Markets
KEPCO constructed UAE Shuweihat S3 power plant(1,600MW, 2014), Jordan Al Qatrana power plant(373MW, 2011), Amman IPP3 power plant(573MW, 2014), and Mexico Norte II gas-fired CCPP(433MW, 2013), and is building Malaysia Pulau Indah gas-fired CCPP(1,200MW). We started the construction of the 198MW Ukudu gas-fired CCPP in cooperation with Korea East-West Power, which we will operate for 25 years. Gas-fired CCPP projects are seen as a bridge between coal-fired power generation and green energy production following KEPCO’S declaration to stop bidding for coal-fired power projects from other countries.

Coal-Fired Power | Stable Operation of Large-Scale Projects
We completed the construction of Vietnam Nghi Son II coal-fired power plant earlier than scheduled in July 2022 on the back of our experiences from a fluidized coal-fired power project in The Philippines(200MW) and a heavy oil project in Saudi Arabia(1,204MW). We are currently building Java 9 & 10 coal-fired power plants in Indonesia(2,000MW) and Vung Ang 2 coal-fired power plant in Vietnam (1,200MW). We have decided not to participate in additional overseas coal-fired power projects in line with the coal-exit movement following the global consensus on carbon neutrality, and are planning to accelerate the efforts for coal exit from overseas projects by selling the existing coal-fired power plants by 2030.
