KEPCO CEO Cho Hwan-eik was quoted by pulsenews.co.kr as saying: "We would drastically increase investment in the new energy sector to change fundamentals of the corporation.

"Besides the existing core businesses of thermal power and nuclear power, we would expand our foreign business to new energy business and we would achieve KRW20trn in overseas sales, 20% of the corporation’s total sales, by 2025."
