Korea Electric Power Corp. said it held an extraordinary shareholders meeting on the 27th at its headquarters in Naju, South Jeolla Province, and appointed Kim Jae-gun, former head of KEPCO’s Busan-Ulsan headquarters, as an executive director and head of its Power Grid Division, a vice president-level post.

Kim graduated from Sudoteonki Technical High School and the electrical engineering department at Kyungil University, and joined KEPCO in 1986. He later served as head of the Daegu-Gyeongbuk Construction Branch, director of the power management office at the Daegu headquarters, head of the New Transmission Projects Office, and head of the Busan-Ulsan headquarters.

KEPCO said Kim successfully completed the country’s first voltage-source high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission construction project linking the mainland and Jeju Island. The company said it expects him to help deliver timely construction of the future power grid, drawing on his expertise in new transmission and his field experience across power network construction and operations.
