A clean energy Korea by 2035: Transitioning to 80% carbon-free
We find that accelerated renewable energy deployment by 2035 is achievable in a cost-effective and reliable manner, offering substantial economic, environmental, and energy
South Korea is ramping up its battery energy storage deployment with a new 540MW tender to stabilize the grid and support renewable energy growth. Learn how this move strengthens both domestic resilience and global market leadership.
Overall, grid integration is crucial to facilitate the country's energy transition. South Korea's sole transmission and distribution grid operator, Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO), is expanding its network across the country, particularly along the western coast, to accommodate the increasing demand.
Declined clean energy costs can reduce electricity supply costs by 23%–40% compared with 2022. Hourly dispatch simulations indicate that South Korea's grid can integrate high levels of variable renewables without coal generation or new natural gas power plants.
We thus present a comprehensive perspective on Korea's energy transition in the power sector. South Korea relies on imported fossil fuels for over 60% of its electricity generation, making it vulnerable to energy security risks and fuel price volatility.
