South Korea plans to launch a unified power company next October by combining five state-owned power generators.

The government has decided not to use one of the existing headquarters buildings. Instead, it will build a new headquarters for the merged company, setting the stage for stronger competition among local governments seeking to host it.

The Ministry of Climate, Energy and Environment disclosed additional details of the integration plan at a meeting on the fourth at Korea Electric Power's Namseoul headquarters in Yeongdeungpo, Seoul. The government had released details on the functions of public institutions the previous day.
