In case KEPCO performs the inspection prior to use, submit the application for inspection prior to use and the single line diagram (indoor wiring drawing) together with the electricity use application three days before the preferred inspection date. A copy of the business registration certificate and the certificate of completion of inspection prior to use should be submitted before using electricity. You may also present a copy of your ID card or business registration certificate of the other place using electricity (when relocating the business). Business registration certificates should be submitted immediately upon issuance, however.

Agricultural Well (groundwater): Submit the groundwater development report (certificate) from the mayor or the governor and the land ledger.

In case of reapplication after canceling the existing electricity use application, submit a new electricity use application form in case that there is no change.

3. Construction Cost

For the electricity use application, the standard construction cost is generally applied except in for special cases (note that this is different from the indoor wiring work cost paid to the installers).

4. Beginning of Service

The supply of power to the existing facilities may be completed within 24 hours. In case outside wiring is necessary, we transmit power on the date indicated by the customer. This schedule applies to low voltage customers such as houses, shops, and buildings or factories using contract power of less than 2,000kW.
For customers supplied with underground cabling, however, the schedule is decided in consultation with the customer.
High capacity buildings or factories may be supplied with electricity upon consultation with KEPCO during the new/extension plan stage.
