6th Basic Plan for District Energy Supply (2024–2028)

The 6th Basic Plan for District Energy Supply sets Korea’s district energy policy direction for 2024–2028, shifting the sector from quantitative expansion toward cleaner heat sources. It targets district heating supply to 4.46 million households by 2028, up from 3.78 million in 2023, and expansion of industrial-complex district energy sites to 54, up from 45 in 2023. The plan expects district heating to cover 21.3% of all homes by 2028 and estimates cumulative benefits of 45 million toe in energy savings and 92 million tonnes of greenhouse gas reductions. Key measures include greater use of unused heat, a clean heat roadmap, renewable heat certification, national heat-map upgrading and heat-trading guidelines.
