        Creation of national heat map

        The Korean government plans to create a national heat map by 2020. The map will include all the wasted and unused heat energy from power plants, incineration facilities, district heating facilities, fuel cells, and industrial facilities. The map is expected to facilitate the use of wasted heat and to accelerate energy efficiency improvement.

        EIWOG

        The EIWOG put in place feed-in-tariffs to stimulate electricity production from Green Power Producers. The EIWOG obliged system operators to purchase renewable electricity offered by independent power producers and to pay minimum feed-in-tariffs. These tariffs were defined by each of the nine provinces and thus differed according to province. Provinces set tariff levels, quota levels, and conditions. The feed-in-tariffs differ according to technology, type and duration of contract, time of feeding in the electricity by season and time of day.
