6 FAQs about [South Korea innovative power solutions]

Can South Korea regain its lead in technical innovation?

South Korea has an uphill battle ahead of it if it wants to regain its lead in technical innovation, but its historic ability to pivot in response to dramatic changes stand it in good stead, says Hemmert. “It’s a question of understanding what needs to be done, and then having the right leadership to implement the change.”

Will Korea's energy transition go beyond the power sector?

The focus of Korea’s energy transition must go beyond the power sector to target emissions from industry and transport, the IEA policy review says. The industrial sector is emissions-intensive and accounts for over half of Korea’s final energy consumption despite the notable improvement in energy efficiency over the last decade.

How many nuclear power plants will South Korea have by 2038?

South Korea aims to have 30 nuclear plants by 2038 and to more than triple its solar and wind power output to 72 GW by 2030. The government also plans to replace ageing coal power plants with more sustainable options like pumped storage hydroelectricity and hydrogen power plants.

How does Korea's energy transition work?

This closely links Korea’s energy transition to efforts to spur investments in energy storage systems, smart grids and intelligent transport systems. “Korea can draw on its technological expertise by addressing regulatory and institutional barriers in its energy markets and by fostering more active consumer engagement,” Dr Birol said.

What is South Korea doing with a fiscal stimulus?

The goal is to use the fiscal stimulus to streamline the transition to renewable energy in South Korea and develop accompanying clean technologies while also creating jobs, growing the economy, and, most importantly – addressing climate change. The country plans to build eco-friendly energy infrastructures and promote energy efficiency.

Does South Korea have a high energy cost?

South Korea’s heavy reliance on fossil fuels has historically led to high electricity costs, as seen during the global energy crisis in 2022. South Korea aims to mitigate these issues by diversifying its energy sources and enhancing energy efficiency across industries.
