As of 10:31 AM on the 18th, Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO) is trading at 21,200 KRW, down 3.42% from the previous day. The trading volume is 3,120,025 shares, which is about 21.31% of the previous day's volume. KEPCO is known as a special corporation established under the Korea Electric Power Corporation Act.

On August 14, Choi Goun, a researcher at Korea Investment & Securities, stated, "Strong second-quarter earnings alone do not provide an answer to the increasing environmental costs during the energy transition process. However, maintaining baseload power is not the only solution. It is now important to break the policy victim frame through tariff reforms that reflect environmental costs and more active investments in renewable energy. It is positive that discussions on institutional reforms aligned with the Green New Deal, such as the possibility of cost compensation through the Power Industry Infrastructure Fund and the promotion of amendments to the Electricity Business Act, are becoming more concrete." He set KEPCO's target price at 30,000 KRW.

Over the past five days, individual investors have net sold 3,229,944 shares of KEPCO, while foreign investors and institutions have net sold 543,605 shares and net bought 3,732,459 shares, respectively.
