Korea Electric Power Corp., the state-run utility, said it planned to import more coal this winter because of the price differential between coal and liquefied national gas shipments in terms of generation compared with cost where there was a 40 percent saving.

South Korea is continuing to expand its liquefied natural gas infrastructure as it imports more volumes from new plants in Australia and from other liquefaction and export facilities coming on stream over the next two years on the US Gulf Coast.
