Case Study: KOSEP, Yonghung Thermal Power Plant

South Korea consumes about 15 gigawatts of energy each year, half of which goes to the country's largest and most densely populated city, Seoul. With annual energy consumption growing at 8 percent, Korean power generators must take steps to maintain high levels of availability and reliability to maintain cost-effective production. The Yonghung Power Plant is part of KOSEP's strategy to maintain low-cost, high-quality electricity for Seoul's metropolitan area.
