Korea South-East Power Expands Emergency Response Team for Middle East Risks

Establishment of the Contract & Materials Division
Strengthening Comprehensive Management of Fuel and Material Supply Chains

Jo Younghyuk, Acting President of Korea South-East Power, is giving a speech at the emergency energy supply meeting held at the headquarters on the 16th. Korea South-East Power.

Amid the ongoing instability in the Middle East, Korea South-East Power has significantly expanded its energy supply response system to address the crisis.

On April 16, the company announced that it had strengthened its emergency response system by holding an "Emergency Energy Supply Response Meeting" in the main conference room at its headquarters.

The company has reorganized and expanded its emergency response team by establishing a new "Contract & Materials Division" in addition to the existing five core divisions: Fuel Procurement, Overseas Business, Power Generation Operations, Safety & Security, and Management Support.

The newly established Contract & Materials Division is responsible for proactively managing supply chain risks, such as delays in the delivery of foreign maintenance materials and increases in raw material prices caused by disruptions in Middle Eastern logistics networks.

In particular, the company plans to implement support measures to ease the burden of contract fulfillment that partner companies may face. Through these efforts, it aims to minimize disruptions in the supply of key materials needed for the maintenance and repair of power generation facilities.

In terms of fuel supply, the company has already secured 100% of the required volume for the first half of the year. It is also closely managing major materials in the power generation, environmental, and construction sectors—including urea solution, which the government has designated as a critical item for energy supply crisis response.

Cho Younghyuk, Acting President of Korea South-East Power, stated, "Due to the prolonged situation in the Middle East, we expect difficulties not only in fuel procurement but also in sourcing on-site maintenance materials. We will strengthen constant monitoring and take proactive measures, led by the emergency response team, to fulfill our core mission of ensuring a stable power supply."
