Background

The 10 MW Unit 1 of Jeju Thermal Power Station was retired in 2009. Units 2 and 3 (each 75 MW) were built in 2000 and use fuel oil. They are part of complex that also includes two 40 MW internal combustion power plants, 7 wind turbines, and solar panels. The complex is operated by Korea Midland Power (KOMIPO), a subsidiary of KEPCO. [11][12]
