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.

---

As previously set forth in the report on Form 6-K filed with the Commission on January 18, 2011, Korea Electric Power Corporation (“KEPCO”) originally planned to hold an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders on February 16, 2011 to appoint four standing directors (sangim-isa in Korean) who will replace the same number of outgoing directors whose terms are scheduled to expire on February 11, 2011. However, as KEPCO requires additional time to finalize the candidates for these positions, it will postpone the shareholders’ meeting to a future date to be announced in a report on Form 6-K.

Details regarding the nominees 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 January 18, 2011 in its entirety.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized.
