This Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K is deemed filed for all purposes under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including by reference in the Registration Statement on Form F-3 (Registration No. 33-99550) and the Registration Statement on Form F-3 (Registration No. 333-9180).

As previously set forth in the report on Form 6-K filed with the Commission on March 18, 2011, Korea Electric Power Corporation (“KEPCO”) originally planned to hold an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders on April 8, 2011 to appoint a standing director (sangim-isa in Korean). However, as KEPCO requires additional time to finalize the candidate for this position, it will postpone the shareholders’ meeting to a future date to be announced in a report on Form 6-K.

Details regarding the nominee and the time and date of the shareholders’ meeting will be provided in a future filing on Form 6-K once they are finalized.

This amended report on Form 6-K replaces the report on Form 6-K filed with the Commission on March 18, 2011 in its entirety.
