Next-Generation Distributed Power Grid Promotion Plan

The plan establishes Korea’s next-generation distributed power grid system to accommodate more distributed renewable generation and support local production-local consumption of electricity. In 2026, the government announced KRW 321 billion in public funding to accelerate distribution-grid innovation, flexibility resources and intelligent grid operation. The plan includes the deployment of 20 ESS units in 2026 and a total of 85 ESS units by 2030 in congested distribution areas, which is expected to enable around 485 MW of additional solar PV grid connection. It also promotes advanced distribution management systems, conditional grid connection, non-wires alternatives, V2G, P2H and new local electricity market models.
