1 Environmental Data 216

2 Environmental Data 216 Environmental accounting (KEPCO) KEPCO has introduced environmental accounting both on a nonconsolidated basis and for group companies to clarify the costs of environmental conservation in our business activities and the benefits achieved. FY215 assessment Environmental conservation costs Investment in environmental conservation was about 15 billion yen, 4 billion lower than the previous year. Increased expenses for feedintariff (FIT) purchases brought expenses to about 151 billion yen, 41 billion yen higher than the previous fiscal year. Environmental conservation costs (1 million yen) Category Investment Expenses FY214 FY215 FY214 FY Global environmental conservation costs ,311.9 (CO2 reductions, etc.) 2. Local environmental conservation costs (1) Measuring/monitoring environmental impact Major Items Renewable energy power purchases, SF6 gas collection Radiation control and measurement, air quality concentration measurement, marine area surveys (2) Pollution control (air pollution, water contamination, oil leakage, etc.) Air pollution control measures, water contamination prevention measures (3) Nature conservation Revegetation 3. Costs to build a circular economy (1) Industrial waste processing, recycling (2) General waste processing, recycling (3) Radioactive waste processing Industrial waste processing, PCB processing Paper recycling Lowlevel radioactive waste processing (4) Green purchasing Environmental management costs R&D costs Other costs Researchrelated work Environmental reports Load leveling, environmental conservation, energy savings and recycling, natural energy Research Laboratory repairs Total ,11.4 1,513.1 Total capital investment during the period 3, 2,541 1

3 Environmental Data 216 Operating expenses during period 31,632 26,597 Note: Based on the Environmental Reporting Guidelines (FY212 version) issued by the Ministry of the Environment. Depreciation is not calculated into expenses. Composite costs are tallied proportionally by one of three methods: (1) calculation of differences; (2) proportional division based on rational criteria; (3) proportional division based on criteria of expediency. Costs involved in generating nuclear power are calculated with the sum of individual measures to protect the environment taken as environmental conservation costs (radiation control and measurement, lowlevel radioactive waste processing, etc.). Figures may not add up due to rounding off. Effects of environmental conservation intensity decreased yearonyear due to a greater proportion of power generated from nuclear power and renewable energy sources. SOx emissions intensity also decreased yearonyear in thermal power generation overall due to a decrease in generated power output from monofuel oil combustion units without desulfurization equipment.

4 Environmental Data 216 Economic benefits from environmental conservation measures Economic benefits decreased approximately 2 million yen from the previous year due to a reduction in results from efforts that lead to cost savings. Economic benefits from environmental conservation measures (1 million yen) Revenue Category FY214 FY215 Operating revenues from recycling, etc Other Major Items Gain on sale of disused articles (recycling) Cost savings Cost savings from reuse and recycling, etc Cost savings from the purchase of recycled items Total Environmental efficiency Environmental efficiency (with FY199 as the base is calculated to indicate the relationship between environmental load and economic value. KEPCO s environmental efficiency for FY215 shows figures of 115 (electric power sold/composite index) and 69 (electric power sold/), six points and two points higher respectively than in the previous year. The primary factors for this were reductions in CO2, SOx and NOx emissions intensities and a decrease in fuel consumption.
