KEPCO
to build here power plant
Ulaanbaatar,
July 28 (MONTSAME) The KEPCO, South Korea's biggest power supplier, has won the
exclusive right to build and operate a fossil fuel power plant in Ulaanbaatar,
the company said Friday.
Chief
negotiators from KEPCO and the Mongolian Energy Ministry signed a memorandum of
understanding in Mongolia on Thursday, three months after the two sides agreed
to work together to improve the power supply infrastructure in Mongolia.
"This is a
milestone making it possible for us to make inroads into the fast-growing power
supply market in Mongolia," KEPCO said in a statement. "This project
will make it possible for us to win other projects."
It is uncertain
when the two sides will sign an official contract and when a construction will
begin. "We will start a feasibility study soon," said a KEPCO
official familiar with the case. "So it's hard to predict when we will
sign an official contract."
KEPCO is the
world's sixth-largest power plant builder, having built nearly 40 nuclear and
fossil fuel power plants in 20 countries. KEPCO said it was seeking business
opportunities in other developing nations in Central Asia.
