A power expansion project on South Koreaโs Ulleungdo Island has been delayed after an administrative omission involving an environmental impact assessment. Korea Electric Power Corporation planned to install three 1,450-kilowatt generators at the Jeodong internal-combustion power plant ahead of increased demand linked to the Ulleung Airport opening.
Because Ulleungdo is not connected to the mainland grid, the island relies entirely on its own power plants, and local officials have previously cited insufficient generation as a constraint on military and public facility projects.
