(&#147;JDA&#148;) with Nepal Electricity Authority (&#147;NEA&#148;), a government-owned electric power company located in Kathmandu, Nepal, to carry out a joint hydroelectric power development project named &#147;Upper Modi &#145;A&#146;&#148; in
Nepal. Under the terms of JDA, KEPCO will build a hydroelectric power plant with a capacity of 42 megawatts, which, upon completion, is expected to account for 7% of the Nepal&#146;s entire electric capacity, and operate the plant for 30 years after
the completion of the construction. The currently estimated size of the project is approximately US$80 million. KEPCO and NEA will receive equity interests in a special purpose vehicle to be newly created to oversee the project in proportion to
their respective cash contribution to the project. The proportion of the equity interest will be decided by a joint development committee whose members will consist of representatives from KEPCO and NEA. </FONT></P> <P
