10th Basic Energy Plan for Electricity Supply and Demand (2023-2036)
…and Demand establishes a 15-year roadmap (2022-2036) to ensure energy security through a balanced energy mix and large-scale infrastructure investment. The plan prioritises pre-emptive reinforcement of the power grid and the expansion of transmission and substation facilities to integrate volatile renewable sources and new nuclear power. To ensure system reliability during this transition, the plan identifies a critical investment requirement of approximately KRW 45 trillion by 2036 for renewable energy backup facilities, specifically for technologies such as synchronous condensers (to provide grid inertia) and Energy Storage Systems (ESS).A key pillar of the plan is the…
