Access to solar panels has created capacity where the state falls short, but the overall energy security challenges facing the nation are daunting. This report, “North Korea’s Energy Sector,” is a compilation of articles published on 38 North in 2023 that surveyed North Korea’s energy production facilities and infrastructure.
In July, Bloom Energy announced it would introduce hydrogen-powered fuel cells and electrolyzers that produce renewable hydrogen to the South Korean market through its longstanding partnership with SK E&C.
Preface North Korea suffers from chronic energy shortages. Rolling blackouts are common, even in the nation’s capital, while some of the poorest citizens receive state-provided electricity only once a year.
South Korea’s government-supported Hydrogen Economy Roadmap is notably among the most ambitious in the world, with the aim of ensuring 15,000 megawatts of hydrogen fuel cell installations, 6.2 million hydrogen vehicles and 1,200 hydrogen charging stations are in operation by 2040.
“SK E&C and Bloom Energy are paving the way toward a zero-carbon energy future,” said Jason Ahn, CEO, SK E&C. “With a projected domestic deployment of 8.4 gigawatts of stationary fuel cells, coupled with an additional 6.6 gigawatts for international export, Korea is trailblazing the hydrogen economy.
After issuing a bid in August, KEPCO plans to complete the supply contract, including selecting a company, by October. These large ESSs will be operated from the second half of next year. Hyosung Heavy Industries, Hyundai Electric, LS Electric, LG Electronics, and Woojin Industrial Systems are reportedly planning to participate in the bid.
