[Asia Economy Sejong=Reporter Dongwoo Lee] Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power (KHNP) announced on the 12th that it supported partner small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in exploring overseas markets by attending the '2022 World Utility Congress' (WUC), held for three days from the 9th (local time) in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE).

The event, hosted by TAQA, the Abu Dhabi state-owned energy company, was attended by about 120 companies and over 10,000 participants from around the world.

KHNP, together with five power generation companies including Korea South-East Power, Korea Southern Power, Korea East-West Power, Korea Western Power, and Korea Midland Power, supported 10 partner SMEs in operating promotional booths at the WUC. These SMEs conducted over 100 consultations during the exhibition.

KHNP formed a UAE market development delegation with the Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency (KOTRA) and its export-specialized corporation KHNP KNP to carry out overseas market development activities for 13 partner SMEs. KOTRA Dubai Trade Center invited major UAE engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) companies to hold a buyer consultation meeting to introduce the excellent technologies of domestic partner SMEs, resulting in about 70 consultations.

A technical briefing and purchasing seminar were also held in Abu Dhabi to supply domestic equipment to the Barakah Nuclear Power Plant in the UAE.

Jaehoon Jung, President of KHNP, said, “We will continue to make steady efforts so that both companies and KHNP can grow together through overseas market development support projects for partner SMEs.”
