Korea Electric Power Corporation Files 2024 Annual Report on Form 20-F
NAJU, South Korea , May 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- On April 28, 2025, Korea Electric Power Corporation (NYSE: KEP) ("KEPCO") filed its annual report including audited consolidated financial statements on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2024 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

KEPCO: Tailwind From Lower Energy Prices
KEPCO, South Korea's dominant power utility, is poised to benefit from lower fuel prices due to President Trump's tariffs, boosting its profitability. KEPCO's reliance on coal and LNG, combined with falling energy prices, positions it for strong earnings in 2025. Trading at a low valuation, KEPCO's stock offers significant upside potential, with the possibility of reinstating dividends.
Korea Electric Power: Dividends Are Back And Outlook Is Positive
I am still bullish on Korea Electric Power stock, considering its prospects and capital return. KEP has resumed dividend distributions, and its expected FY25 yield is at the high-single digit level. KEP should continue to deliver positive earnings on the back of drivers like operating leverage, a favorable change in generation mix, and lower energy-related costs.
Korea Electric Power: South Korea's Power Giant Is On Sale
Korea Electric Power, the sole electricity distributor in South Korea, has faced significant challenges from 2021 to 2023, causing its stock price to plummet -71.19% from its ATH. Increased production costs, inability to pass costs to consumers, high debt, and political instability have contributed to KEP's financial struggles. KEPCO's monopoly status, cost management strategies, improved operating environment, and potential political reforms indicate it can weather the crisis and potentially thrive.
