KOSOPW's framework identifies four CCGT projects totalling 3,024MW, replacing 3,000MW of Hadong coal capacity between 2027 and 2031, around half of the company's current coal fleet and a quarter of its total domestic capacity. K-Taxonomy eligibility thresholds imply generation-stage emissions cuts of around 57-69% versus unabated coal, though KOSOPW does not disclose project-level emissions estimates, and actual lifecycle savings would depend on project performance and upstream LNG emissions, including methane leakage.
Beyond the coal-to-gas swap, the pathway is less clear. KOSOPW targets 100% low-emissions fuel firing by 2050 but, unlike peers KOMIPO and KOEWPW, discloses no interim hydrogen milestones, CCGT retirement date, or how the identified projects contribute to its 72% GHG reduction target.
