The Ministry of Climate, Energy and Environment said Tuesday it will hold a forum titled “Power Regulation Governance Forum for the 100GW Renewable Energy Era” on Wednesday morning at the HJ Business Center in Jongno-gu, Seoul, together with six civil society groups: the Energy Transition Forum, Climate Solution, Energy and Space, the Green Energy Strategy Institute, the Public Renewable Energy Forum and the Green Consumers Network.
The forum follows up on the government’s “Energy Grand Transition Implementation Plan for the People’s Sovereignty Government,” released on April 6. The government is seeking to shift the energy system from fossil fuels to renewables to strengthen future national competitiveness, aiming for what it calls an “electro-state.”
The ministry said the transition is not just a change in generation sources but a restructuring of how electricity is produced and used — from a centralized, one-way system to a distributed, two-way one. It said that makes an overhaul of power oversight increasingly necessary to improve transparency and fairness in the electricity market.
A ministry official said the government will push to revise the Electric Utility Act based on views presented at the forum and, through consultations with relevant ministries and discussions in the National Assembly, build an institutional foundation for the energy transition.
