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…

Small Gestures - energy efficiency outreach campaign
…radio, print, exterior and digital media, through three waves that happened during 2017. It also had a wide range of information activities on social networks.
The great protagonists of the 2017 Campaign were several animals that managed to build a link with the spectator by showing the favourable impact, in their natural habitat, that follows from our small energy saving gestures. These gestures are such as regulating, for example, the temperature of the air conditioning or heating, when driving our vehicles efficiently or opting for public transport, or by using moderately hot water, providing simple tips for achieving this end… -
