On April 6, foreign media reported that South Korea's Ministry of Climate, Energy and Environment announced an energy development plan to increase the proportion of renewable energy in its power structure to at least 20% by 2030, compared with 11.4% by 2025, nearly doubling.
At the same time, the Korean government calls for the expansion of renewable energy capacity to 100GW in the next 10 years , focusing on the expansion of solar and wind power generation scale.
The government also plans to phase out 60 coal-fired power plants by 2040, accelerating the gradual shift away from fossil fuels while investing in green technology and infrastructure.
In addition, the program plans to support the manufacturing of related technologies, such as solar modules , wind turbines and battery energy storage systems .
The plan also targets transportation, with the goal of having electric vehicle and hydrogen-powered vehicles account for 40% of new car sales by 2030.
South Korean Climate Minister Kim Sung-hwan said in a statement that he hoped to reduce the country's dependence on energy imports and enhance its ability to withstand external shocks, such as the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. According to
public data, in recent months, South Korea has simultaneously promoted changes in a number of solar energy policy areas. In February this year, the Korean Parliament revised the renewable energy framework and relaxed the local concession restrictions on photovoltaic projects, thus removing the long-standing obstacles to the approval of photovoltaic project deployment. In the same month, the South Korean government announced that it would invest 321 billion won in 2026 to upgrade the regional distribution network and deploy 85 energy storage systems . In March
this year, the Ministry of Administration and Security of South Korea announced that it would launch a public tender for the "Sunshine Income Village" project at the end of March. The project aims to encourage rural communities to form cooperatives to build and operate solar power plants on idle land and distribute the proceeds to villagers. The project aims to cover more than 2,500 villages in about 38000 administrative villages across the country by 2030. The installed capacity of a single photovoltaic power station is 300 kilowatts to 1 megawatt, mainly built on public land, village land, reservoirs and reserved farmland. It is worth noting that the project requires the mandatory use of domestic photovoltaic modules and inverters .
In addition, South Korea said it would introduce policies specifically aimed at complementary agriculture and light, a model closely related to the idle farmland that the "Sunshine Income Village" plan aims to use.
