KEPCO and KOGAS face 2.7 trillion won in interest expenses

Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO) and Korea Gas Corporation (KOGAS) recorded combined interest expenses exceeding 2.7 trillion won during the first half of this year.

Industry experts anticipate that the financial burden on both companies may intensify in the second half of the year as rising energy prices, driven by the war in Iran, are expected to be fully reflected in their accounts.
