Project to increase transmission capacity
The Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO) commissioned this project in response to Korea's rising power demand. Taihan delivered 75km of ACCC Overhead Transmission Lines to help enhance the transmission capacity of the 154kV transmission line erected in Seoul and West region of Gyeonggi-do.

Next-generation cables with improvements by supplementing previous-generation product flaws
KEPCO employed HSTACIR Overhead Transmission Lines to supplement the capacity of its EHV Overhead Transmission Lines until the 1990s. Taihan suggested the ACCC to KEPCO as a next-generation product to boost the capacity of its Overhead Transmission Lines, instead of HSTACIR, which suffers from sagging concerns and power loss, after developing a wide range of innovative products, including the ACCC, since 2000.
Between 2013 and 2015, Taihan collaborated with KEPCO on "empirical research on novel composite materials for high-capacity overhead transmission cables." KEPCO picked the ACCC as its next-generation product to boost transmission capacity based on the results.
