This Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K is deemed filed for all purposes under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including by reference in the Registration Statement on Form F-3 (Registration No. 33-99550) and the Registration Statement on Form F-3 (Registration No. 333-9180).

On July 21, 2010, the board of directors of Korea Electric Power Corporation (“KEPCO”) approved a plan to acquire a 20% equity interest in PT Bayan Resources Tbk. (“Bayan”), an Indonesian mining company, for a purchase price of IDR 4.62 trillion (or approximately Won 618 billion based on an exchange rate of Won 13.37 per 100 IDR as of June 30, 2010). KEPCO’s rationale for the acquisition is to secure fuel sources for its power generation and hedge against fluctuations in fuel prices. In addition, because Bayan owns and operates land terminals and sea-ports, KEPCO believes that the acquisition will improve KEPCO’s access to much-needed transportation infrastructure within Indonesia. The closing of the acquisition is expected to take place on August 31, 2010.
