Green Energy

South Korea’s recent political shift marks a critical turning point for its energy future, one anchored in pragmatism and strategic economic reasoning rather than ideological preference. The country’s new government has decisively recommitted to renewable energy expansion, sustaining nuclear generation at current levels, and accelerating coal phase-outs, a trajectory that signals a clear recognition of renewable energy’s essential role in the national economic strategy. This policy reset arrives as South Korea, historically reliant on imported fossil fuels for over 90% of its energy needs, seeks urgently to mitigate both geopolitical risks and environmental pressures inherent in its heavy fossil fuel dependency.
