The workshop covered topics such as analysis of management performance for the first half of the year and review of the roadmap for the second half, presentation of customer service (CS) innovation strategies to achieve a 100% power service company, and in-depth discussions on future innovation tasks, including the Three Major Megaprojects.

In particular, through this workshop, KEPCO pledged to mobilize all available resources and capabilities to spearhead the nation's Electric Power Nation vision—a matter of national destiny—and to ensure the unprecedented speed of power supply crucial to the success of the country's three major megaprojects, namely semiconductors, artificial intelligence (AI) data centers, and physical AI.

To this end, KEPCO plans to proactively establish power grids so that electricity can be supplied promptly anywhere demand occurs. This will involve integrating the substation and transmission line site selection systems, refining criteria for municipal government financial support at each phase of site selection to enhance grid receptivity, and actively deploying new construction methods to accelerate the early construction of the power grid.

A KEPCO representative said, "Beyond simple policy announcements, the workshop also placed strong emphasis on practical measures to reform organizational structure. The role of local site managers will be redefined as 'ultimate authorities on customer service, integrity, and safety' to establish a site-oriented, responsible management system, and innovative reward systems for outstanding achievements that generate national benefits were also discussed."
