On July 9, 2012, the board of directors of Korea Electric Power Corporation (“KEPCO”) resolved to establish a special purpose company to construct and operate an offshore wind power project with 80MW aggregate capacity near the southwest coast of the Korean peninsula stretching from Wido, an island off Jeollabuk-do, to Anmado, an island off Jeollanam-do. The total project cost is expected to be approximately KRW 425.7 billion, 50% of which will be funded through equity contribution and the remainder through debt financing. KEPCO will hold a 25% equity interest in the special purpose company, representing approximately KRW 53.2 billion in capital contribution from KEPCO, and each of its six generation companies will hold 12.5% equity interest, representing approximately KRW 26.6 billion in capital contribution from each such company.

Construction is currently scheduled to begin in 2013 with target completion by the end of 2014.
