- KEPCO Engineering & Construction Company, Inc. (Ticker: 052690.KS) provides comprehensive engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) services primarily for power generation facilities and related infrastructure to Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO) and other clients worldwide. The company offers nuclear power plant engineering and construction, including design, licensing support, and maintenance services; thermal power plant development, encompassing gas, coal, and combined-cycle projects; renewable energy solutions such as solar, wind, and hydroelectric facilities; and transmission and distribution systems engineering, including smart grid technologies and substations. Additional services include plant lifecycle management, digital transformation solutions like plant information modeling (PIM), and overseas project execution in power, water, and environmental sectors.
Founded in 1975 and headquartered in Gimcheon, South Korea, KEPCO E&C operates globally with projects in Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and the Americas, serving utility companies, independent power producers, and government entities in the energy industry. The company functions as a key subsidiary of KEPCO, focusing on domestic nuclear and thermal power dominance while expanding into international renewables and digital energy services. Its business segments emphasize high-efficiency power technologies, safety enhancements for nuclear operations, and sustainable energy transitions to meet decarbonization goals.
In recent developments, KEPCO E&C secured a major contract in 2024 for the Barakah nuclear power plant expansion in the United Arab Emirates, strengthening its position in global nuclear EPC through partnership with Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power. The company launched advanced digital twin technologies for plant optimization in early 2025, enhancing operational efficiency amid South Korea's energy transition policies. Additionally, it formed a strategic alliance with international firms for small modular reactor (SMR) development, announced in late 2024, and completed acquisition of specialized renewable engineering assets to bolster its green energy portfolio.
