Korea Electric Power Corp. (Kepco), the largest power distributor in South Korea, is eager to take advantage of the bright prospects in the country’s energy sector, mulling over a plan to build three plants in the Philippines in the next three years.

“Kepco is actually scouting already. That’s a hundred percent sure,” Energy Secretary Jericho Petilla said in a telephone interview, adding that part of the Korean firm’s investment prospects in the country involves the building of three new power plants.
