Strompreise Südkorea

South Korea has one national household tariff, set by the state-controlled utility KEPCO with government approval, and no official average price including taxes. This is KEPCO's low-voltage residential rate for the second block of monthly use (201–400 kWh outside July and August), which a household using about 300 kWh a month reaches: each extra kWh costs ₩214.6. It leaves out the monthly basic charge (₩1,600 in that block), the climate and environment charge, the quarterly fuel cost adjustment (₩5 per kWh for October to December 2026), 10% VAT and the 2.7% Electric Power Industry Base Fund. KEPCO's average revenue from homes in 2025 was ₩158.97 per kWh before VAT and the fund, lower than this rate because every home's first 200 kWh are billed at ₩120.0.

Outside July and August, KEPCO bills each block of a month's use at its own rate: ₩120.0 for the first 200 kWh, ₩214.6 for the next 200 and ₩307.3 above 400 kWh, plus a basic charge set by the block the whole month reaches (₩910, ₩1,600 or ₩7,300). In July and August the blocks widen to 300 kWh and 450 kWh at the same rates, and use above 1,000 kWh a month in July and August and from December to February costs ₩736.2 per kWh. Bills then add the climate and environment charge and the fuel cost adjustment per kWh, 10% VAT and the 2.7% Electric Power Industry Base Fund.
