Over the past 40 years, the Republic of Korea has developed a modern industrial economy, based on blending traditional manufacturing processes with high technology. As thy move into the next millennium, planning for sustained economic growth is essential to the national interest, requiring abundant, low-cost, environmentally safe and reliable electric power supplies. Accordingly, between 1995 and 2005, the Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO), working through its subsidiary, the Korea Power engineering Company (KOPEC), will install over 35,000 MWs of new generating capacity to meet growing industrial and residential demands. Approximately 45% of this new generating capacity will rely on burning coal. Mindful that the burning of coal can have dramatic effects on the environment, the Republic of Korea has developed long-range governmental policies which support economic growth while protecting the environment.
