Power Price Determination Power Price Determination

Power Demand

Nuclear

Coal

Oil / LNG

Base Load

PriceBase Load Price (Nuclear and Coal Power Plant): CP + BLMP

Capacity Payment BLMP

• CP includes construction cost and operation cost of standard coal fired power plants

• Fixed cost is reimbursed to Gencos by KEPCO regardless of their operation

Non-BaseLoad

• If fuel price/kWh is at or above KRW 18.95 - Fuel costs incurred by each generators are fully compensated

• If fuel price/kWh is below KRW 18.95- BLMP is set at the highest fuel cost among generators dispatched

Capacity Payment SMP

• CP includes construction cost and operation cost of peak-load power plants

• Fixed cost is reimbursed to Gencos by KEPCO regardless of the operation

• SMP is set at the highest fuel cost among generators dispatched

Non-Base Load Price (LNG, Oil, Hydro Power): CP + SMP

Prices are determined according to the type of markets – base load and non-base load

• To mitigate financial imbalance caused by oil price hikes between KEPCO and Gencos, the 5th Cost Assessment Committee decided to

lower CP of base load units on 29 May 2006

• CP for base load units will be reduced from KRW20.49/kWh to KRW13.22/kWh from June to August 2006, after which the Committee will

analyze the effects and review whether to continue the adjustments. The CP adjustments will only be effective until the end of 2006 at

the latest.

CBP Market Improvements CBP Market Improvements

Korean Government is continuously working towards further improvements of the CBP market

process. It requested Korea Development Institute to prepare for a CBP market improvement plan.

The result was announced in February 2006

CBP market improvement plan will be implemented starting from 2007 to 2008 in phases

• As CBP system continues, gencos are expected to continue to generate stable profit and cash flowAs CBP system continues, gencos are expected to continue to generate stable profit and cash flow• After the introduction of CBP market improvement plan, profitability is expected to remain at similar levelsAfter the introduction of CBP market improvement plan, profitability is expected to remain at similar levels

Unification of Double MarketRegional Price DifferentiationPrice Differentiation by Seasonsand by Reserve Margin

• Unify currently split electricity

market (base load and non-base

load) into a single market

• To solve profit imbalance between

KEPCO and Gencos, it is expected

to introduce CfD (Contract for

Difference)

• Differentiate prices among power generators

based on the demand concentration of the

location

• Generators that are close to metropolitan

region are more beneficial

• Differentiate CP based on high

demand periods and normal

periods

• Such differentiation allows the

procurement of supply capacity

during peak periods of demand

Financial Performance Financial Performance

KOWEPO achieved robust performance in 1Q 2006 with revenue of KRW 680 billion and net income of KRW 79.7 billion despite high fuel costs

KOWEPO’s revenue has shown a stable performance Net Income in 2004 and 2005 were lower than in 2003 mainly due to:

In case of Taean T/P, it does not create margins in BLMP due to fuel price hikes from 2004

Coverage ratios have been increased significantly due to KOWEPO’s proactive debt restructuring activities including early redemptions of existing high interest rate debts and lowering funding rate

Leverage ratios have decreased since our inception in 2001, but have started to increase slightly due to the expansion of our capacity at our Taean Plant, which is expected to peak this year
