On December 18, Won Koo-woon, a researcher at Korea Investment & Securities, stated, "The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy and KEPCO finalized the electricity rate system reform plan on the 17th. They plan to introduce a cost-linked electricity rate system starting January 2021. This achieves the long-awaited fuel cost linkage system as compensation for deficits over the past two years. Now, the government has begun to focus on realistic concerns in energy policy. Ultimately, KEPCO's role is crucial for decarbonization. This reform plan marks the beginning of KEPCO's normalization, and additional policies such as securing funds for environmental-related costs are expected in the future." He set KEPCO's target price at 38,000 KRW.
