Nuclear power generation jumped 8.7% year-over-year between January and June 2025, supported by shorter maintenance outages and the Shin Hanul #2 plant. This reduces KEPCO’s average fuel costs and improves profit margins at a time of volatile coal and LNG prices (Reuters).
The intellectual property dispute with Westinghouse was settled in January 2025, strengthening KEPCO's ability to collaborate in the global nuclear market and improving its outlook for export contracts and engineering deals (Reuters).
South Korea's Nuclear Safety and Security Commission has approved dismantling the Kori-1 nuclear plant—the country's first decommissioning project—which positions KEPCO subsidiary KHNP to pursue new income streams in the growing global nuclear decommissioning market over the next decade (Reuters).
