Korea plans sweeping mergers of state-run power, port giants

The South Korean government has announced a comprehensive restructuring plan for its public sector, aiming to consolidate and merge several state-owned enterprises while splitting others. This includes combining five major power generation companies into a single entity called Korea Power Generation, merging port authorities into a unified Korea Port Authority, and forming a new Korea Energy Resources Corp. from two energy firms. Additionally, Korea Land and Housing Corp. (LH) will be divided into two separate entities focused on different aspects of housing and urban development. The reform aims to eliminate redundancies, enhance efficiency, and improve the country's energy security and infrastructure management.
