Less than a decade ago, South Korean companies held over half of the global energy storage system (ESS) market with the rushed promise of helping secure a more sustainable energy future. However, a string of ESS-related fires and a lack of infrastructure had dampened investments in this market.
Among them Korea Energy Storage System 2020 action plan (K-ESS 2020) was announced by Ministry of Knowledge and Economy in 2011 to increase installation of energy storage systems. According to the K-ESS 2020 strategy, Korean government has a plan to install various types of ESS, capacity of about 1,700 MW, in the Korean power system by 2020.
KEPCO, through its six generating subsidiaries, owns around 70 per cent of the generation capacity, while the remaining capacity is accounted for by independent power producers and community energy systems. Figure 1: South Korea’s installed generation capacity, as of early 2024 (%) Total installed capacity = 144.4 GW
