Founded in May 2004 under the slogan of “Light to the World, Love to Our Neighbors,” KEPCO Social Volunteer Corps had integrated volunteering activities carried out personally and sporadically into company-wide systematic and professional social contribution activities.

To engage in social contribution activities more professionally, KEPCO organized and operates a professional rescue team that provides rescue, medical support, and field support, which is the only professional disaster rescue organization operated by public enterprise. The Team develops emergency service experts and provides related trainings to strengthen its readiness and to ultimately help people and fulfill our corre value.

Blue carbon refers to carbon absorbed by ocean plants and tidal flats. These coastal areas can take in carbon up to 50 times faster than land forests, offering a strong solution for cutting emissions. Next to the Wando Converter Station site, we planted 150,000 seagrass shoots over 3 hectares to create a “sea forest.” This project will help bring marine life back to the area and support our journey toward carbon neutrality.

KEPCO provides high-efficiency home appliances, home improvements, and energy-related advices to the low-income households to create an energy-efficient society where everyone can live comfortably.

KEPCO is committed to improving energy welfare by providing discounts and subsidies or donating briquettes to the low-income households who are having hard time paying their electricity bills or keeping their briquette boilers running.

We fund sight-saving treatment for people at risk of blindness in underserved and vulnerable communities. Partnering with specialist medical organizations, we cover costs for surgeries such as corneal transplants and provide vision therapy for children with low vision - opening the door to new hope and a brighter future.

We support social economy enterprises so they can stand on their own and keep growing. We hold events where they meet investors, help them earn key certifications, and open up new sales channels. These efforts create social value, and boost local communities.

We offer scholarships to undergraduate and graduate students majoring in electrical engineering considering family income, grades, and achievements, so top-performing students and those from low-income backgrounds can both benefit. By doing so, we are nurturing the next generation of leaders for the power industry.
