The government is expected to unveil a preliminary estimate of power demand for the three major mega projects on the 20th. The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy announced on the 19th that it will announce the preliminary power demand forecast for the three major projects, which are expected to have a large impact on power demand, on the 20th. The three major mega projects refer to the establishment of a new city in the Hwangnyeong area of Gimhae, Gyeongnam, the development of a smart city in the Juchon area of Sejong, and the relocation of the US military base in Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi to the area.
