 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">On February&nbsp;11, 2008, Korean Electric Power Corporation (&#147;KEPCO&#148;) entered into a Memorandum of
Understanding (the &#147;MOU&#148;) with the West African Power Pool (&#147;WAPP&#148;), to form a strategic partnership to build and operate electricity facilities, such as power plants and power transmission systems, in western Africa (the
&#147;Project&#148;). WAPP was established by the Economic Community of West Africa States (ECOWAS), which consists of 14 countries in the region, including Ghana, Benin, Senegal and Nigeria, to address the deficiency of power supply in the region.
Under the MOU, KEPCO intends to build a combined cycle gas-fired power plant of the aggregate installed capacity of 400 megawatts in Maria Gleta, a free trade zone near in Benin, and operate such plant for 20 years. In addition, under the MOU, KEPCO
intends to build and operate approximately 100-kilometer power transmission lines of 330 kilovolts and substations linked to such transmission lines. The estimated capital expenditure for the Project is approximately US$450 million. The MOU does not
specify the financing methods for the Project or the obligations of the parties with respect to the required funding for the Project. These details are expected to be determined through further negotiation. </FONT></P>
