amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including by reference in the Registration Statement on Form F-3 (Registration No.&nbsp;33-99550) and the Registration Statement on Form F-3 (Registration No.&nbsp;333-9180). </FONT></P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">On June&nbsp;9, 2008, Korea Electric Power Corporation (&#147;KEPCO&#148;) announced that it plans to launch a Clean
Development Mechanism (&#147;CDM&#148;) project. The CDM is an arrangement under the Kyoto Protocol, which allows a country with an emission-reduction or emission-limitation commitment under the Kyoto Protocol to implement an emission-reduction
project in developing countries. Such projects can earn saleable certified emission reduction (&#147;CER&#148;) credits, each equivalent to one ton of CO2, which can be counted towards meeting Kyoto targets. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">KEPCO&#146;s CDM project will primarily involve reducing the emission of SF6, a gas which has a significantly greater greenhouse effect than CO2, from its electricity
and transmission facilities. Under the current schedule, KEPCO plans to register this project with the United Nations in 2010, commence reducing the SF6 emission in 2011, and commence trading the CER credits, subject to obtaining approval from the
CDM Executive Board of the United Nations, in 2012. Based on this schedule, the currently estimated cost of the project, which will principally consist of the United Nations registration fee and various consulting fees, is approximately KRW3.9
billion and the currently estimated profit from trading the CER credits is KRW 31 billion per year. Details of this plan may change depending on the results of actual experiments undertaken in connection with the SF6 emission reduction. </FONT></P>
