Will South Korea generate 70% of its electric power by 2038?

South Korea plans to generate 70% of its electric power from carbon-free energy sources such as renewables and nuclear power by 2038, up from less than 40% in 2023, a draft blueprint of its energy mix for the next 15 years showed on Friday.

How will South Korea transform its energy sector?

The country has unveiled an ambitious plan to transform its energy sectors, aiming to generate 70 per cent of its electricity from carbon-free sources 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.

Can South Korea replace nuclear power with renewable sources?

For South Korea, Park et al. (2013) reviewed the possibility of replacing nuclear power with renewable sources in three scenarios. The scope of the study covered 11 sectors of manufacturing industry and non-energy use sectors; it analyzed the impact of GDP growth and the growth rate of electricity demand on energy, environment, and the economy.

Who owns South Korea's power generation capacity?

KEPCO, through its six generating subsidiaries, owns around 70 per cent of the generation capacity, while the remaining capacity is accounted for by independent power producers and community energy systems. Figure 1: South Korea’s installed generation capacity, as of early 2024 (%) Total installed capacity = 144.4 GW

How much did South Korea invest in the energy transition?

South Korea’s investment in the energy transition came in at $25 billion last year. A clear and consistent policy framework is necessary to boost investor confidence and match the spending needs of a net-zero future.

Will South Korea's energy transition be economics-driven?

Should the country’s energy transition proceed along an economics-driven trajectory – what BNEF calls its Economic Transition Scenario – there would only be an 18% decline over this period. “South Korea still has a chance to meet its 2030 emissions reduction target,” said David Kang, BNEF’s Head of Japan and Korea Research.
