<Renewable Energy Demand in South Korea: A 2030 Forecast and Policy Recommendations>
The Corporate Renewable Energy Initiative (CoREi) and Plan 1.5 have co-published a report to estimate the mid-to-long-term renewable energy demand from Korea’s corporate sector. The results indicate that the level of renewable energy demand is projected to reach 157.5~172.3TWh by 2030, which is significantly higher than 97.8TWh, the expected renewable energy output from solar PV and wind power under the 10th Basic Plan for Long-term Electricity Supply and Demand.
