As the 4th industrial revolution is coming up with transition of global energy paradigm, KEPCO is focusing on taking initiatives in newly emerging markets where future energy is applied and combined with ICT-based convergence technologies such as SG (Smart Grid), MG (Micro Grid), Geographical Information System and/or ESS.

Among the energy projects won in 2015, KEPCO has promoted Canada’s Micro Grid(MG) pilot project, which secured the first MG operation performance in North America, followed by Ecuador’s Galapagos MG construction project in 2018 and Honduras Guanaja island MG construction project in 2021.

In 2017, KEPCO has reviewed the possibility of demonstration and expansion of new energy industries(AMI, DAS, GIS etc) through the FS for development of the new distribution business model in Dominican Republic, and has expanded its business to various regions through GIS building project in four cities including Chittagong, Bangladesh in 2018, and the FS study project for smart energy infrastructure business model in Indonesia in 2020.

In addition, to cope with climate change and carbon-neutral agendas, KEPCO has entered overseas CDM(Clean development mechanism) projects, and has conducted Cookstove CDM projects in Myanmar in 2018, drinking water facility CDM projects in Bangladesh in 2020. and plan to obtain Certified emission reductions for domestic use.

KEPCO will promote convergence businesses in potential markets, diversify overseas business portfolio by developing business models that are highly profitable and customizable, and eventually lead global markets as a first mover in new energy industry.
