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.

On November 17, 2011, the board of directors of Korea Electric Power Corporation (“KEPCO”) resolved to participate in a joint venture with China Datang Group, a state-controlled utility provider in China, in the construction and operation of two additional wind-powered electricity generation facilities in Chifeng City in Neimenggu and Chaoyang City in Liaoning province in the People’s Republic of China, with total generation capacity of approximately 93 megawatts (consisting of 45 megawatts for the first unit and 48 megawatts for the second unit). The project will be operated for 20 years, following completion.

The total project costs are expected to be approximately US$108 million, of which US$36 million will be funded through equity contribution from KEPCO and China Datang Group and the remainder through debt financing. The project will be managed through a joint venture company, 60% of which will be owned by China Datang Group and 40% by KEPCO. KEPCO’s total investment in this project is expected to be approximately US$15 million. KEPCO will participate in this project through its wholly-owned subsidiary KEPCO Neimenggu International Limited.
