Annual Report 2014Demand Side Management Policy

The total final energy consumption in Korea was 210.2Mtoe,

eighth largest in the world as of 2013. Energy security is a

key issue in Korea since it relies 96% of energy supply on fuel

imports due to lack of domestic energy sources. 35% of total

import costs were spent on energy import, which amounted to

what Korea earned from exporting top four products*.

* Top 4 products exported by Korea in 2013(Billion USD) :

Refined Petroleum, semiconductors, automobiles and ships

(2,006 Billion USD)

The energy intensity (energy used per unit of GDP) of the Korean

economy is relatively high due to a large proportion of energy-

intensive industries compared to other countries.

Transition to Energy Policies Focused on Demand

Management to achieve policy objective of 13% reduction

in energy demand and 15% reduction in electricity demand

by 2035, using tax reform, rate rivision, ICT-based demand

management, reinforcement of systems for each sector.

Build a Distributed Generation System by supplying more than

15% of power from distributed generation such as integrated

energy systems, renewable energy, and in-house generators by

2035 (current contribution rate: 5%)

Enhance Sustainability by strengthening climate change

response and achieve environmental protection, improved safety of

nuclear energy, and Promote the development of key technologies to

support stronger demand management, the expansion of distributed

generation, etc

Annual Report 2014Korea Energy Agency 1514

The supply target of the 4th Basic Plan is to increase the share

of new and renewable energy supply to 11% of total primary

energy source by 2035.

The generation target is to achieve 13.4% of total power

generation with NRE sources by 2035, with a focus on solar and

wind energy, while scaling down waste energy.

Priority is placed in a shift from "government-led programs" to

"public-private partnership", creating a market friendly, profitable,

deregulated NRE ecosystem that attracts private investment.

By expanding overseas markets, a sustainable growth cycle will be

created beyond the domestic market.

National GHG and Energy Target Management and Emission Trading Scheme

GHG and Energy Target Management Scheme have been

implemented since 2012 based on Article 42 of the

‘Framework Act on Low Carbon, Green Growth’.

Under the scheme, the government sets the reduction target and

evaluates performance results.

In the Emission Trading Scheme starting from 2015,

governments provide companies with emission allowances,

which the companies must buy from other companies to emit

more than they are allowed.

The operation of the ETS is detailed in the ‘Master Plan of

Emission Trading Scheme’ (Jan. 2014) and ‘National Allocation

Plan’ (Sept. 2014). Companies which emitted more than

125ktCO², and business sites which emitted more than 25ktCO²

of average annual emission between 2011 and 2013 are

mandated to participate in the ETS during the first planning

period, between 2015 and 2017.

GHG Emission Reduction Goal by Sector

Annual Report 2014Climate Change Policy

The U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) is

a convention of 195 nations to overcome global climate change

effects caused by greenhouse gases(GHG) emitted from human

activities.

According to ‘Common But Differentiated Responsibilities (CBDR)’

and ‘Respective Capabilities (RC)’, developed countries have

set the GHG reduction target to support developing countries

mitigate and adapt to climate change. Developing countries

voluntarily reduce GHG emission with the support and this helps

to keep the temperature rise between 1.5 and 2.0 ºC compared

to pre-industrialization.

Korea joined the UNFCCC in December 1993, ratifying the Kyoto

Protocol which dictates the reduction mandate of developed

countries, in October 2002. In 2009, the 15th Conference of the

Parties, Korea pledged to reduce emissions by 30% of BAU.

GHG Emission Status of Korea

According to the IEA "2014 CO² Emissions from Fuel

Combustion", Korea was the world’s sixth-largest GHG emitter in

2012, after U.S., Russia, Japan ,Germany, Canada.

Korea's gross CO² emission amounted to 688.3MtCO², with

the energy sector accounting for 87.2% of total emission.

Within the energy sector, generation sector accounted for 45%,

manufacturing/constructioni sectors 30%, transport sector 14%.

National Goal

Korean government announced its goal to reduce GHG emissions

by 30% of BAU level(776.1MtCO²) by 2020, which would be

543MtCO² if there is no drastic change in international trends

Annual Report 2014Korea Energy Agency 1918

Energy Service Companies, ESCO

The ESCO Program provides financial support to businesses that retrofit

energy facilities and guarantee the ensuing savings effect.

ESCOs, Energy Service Companies are companies that invest in energy-

efficiency facilities and provide maintenance services and energy management

monitoring for customers. They recover the investment from the energy

savings achieved from their services. Starting out with the registration of four

companies in 1992, the number of registered ESCOs grew to 220 by 2014.

ESCOs mainly focus on high efficiency lighting, waste heat recovery, heating

and cooling systems, and process equipment improvement.

During the introduction stage of the ESCO program from 1993 to 1997,

the average annual investment amounted to 3.7 billion KRW. Due to strong

government aid, annual investment has been increasing since 1998. In 2014,

the budget grew to 254 billion KRW.

companies to undertake energy audit on a regular basis in order

to respond to oil price and climate change. Every five years,

companies using over 2,000 toe must discover energy savings

potential and take optimal measures to raise energy efficiency.

As of the end of 2014, 91 energy audit companies with expertise and

experience were registered, implementing audit on 4,111 companies

since 2007. As a result, energy-saving potential identified amounted

to 3,944ktoe/year, accounting for 4.9% of total energy consumption

and GHG emission reduction of 9,691ktCO².

KEA has performed energy audits on 130 companies since

2007, whose energy consumption exceeds 10ktoe. As a result,

the potential energy consumption reduction and GHG emission

reduction were 1,384ktoe/year and 3,742ktCO² each. With

rich energy audit know-how of 30 years conducted for 2,700

companies, KEA is expanding its premises to overseas. In

collaboration with IIC and ADB, energy audits are implemented

for companies in developing countries and Korean companies

abroad.

energy saving measures in response to the high oil price.

Ever since, the CHP has been widely adopted in urban designs

for systematic, efficient energy supply to metropolitan areas.

CHP is heat and electricity generated from large-scale heat

generation facility equipped with co-generation equipment or

pollution-prevention facilities and supplied to multiple users

including homes, commercial buildings and factories.

The government provides subsidy to installers or designers of

district cooling systems that, instead of using electricity, uses

energy supplied by integrated energy system using absorption chillers.

KEA performs technical reviews of the validity of integrated

energy supply and feasibility of project plans and construction

Average Fuel Economy

The average fuel efficiency program aims to improve energy efficiency at the

production stage by manufacturers to meet the standard fuel efficiency(km/ℓ) of

cars sold in one year, or GHG emissions(g/km) set by the government.

From 2012 to 2015, the fuel efficiency standard is determined based on the total

number of sales for each manufacturer and importer. From 2016 to 2020, the

program will cover even small trucks and the standard will be strengthened.

According to Energy Use Rationalization Act, fines can be levied to a manufacturer

or importer who fails to meet the standard.

The average fuel efficiency of cars sold in 2013 was 14.19km/ℓ, a 4% average

growth since 2006, and is expected to increase with the distribution of electric

cars.

Electric Vehicle Battery Lease

The government provides support to battery lenders to purchase batteries

for electric cars. Lease companies, bus and taxi companies can save initial

investment cost by paying for just the vehicles without batteries, since battery

lenders provide maintenance and charging services.

Considering the geographical advantage, Korea’s biggest island, Jeju was

selected as the target for the pilot program. Car owners can earn fuel cost

savings, which in part pays for the battery lease, and in part becomes profit. The

target is to distribute 119 electric buses, 1000 electric rental cars by 2017.

In order to increase the demand for electric cars and expand the intial

market, the government mandated public institutions to procure electric cars.

Institutions which own more than 10 cars are under the effect - more than

25% of the new purchase or lease should be electric cars.

NRE Obligation in Public Institutions

The Public Institutions Renewable Obligation requires public

buildings with over 1,000m2 of floor space to generate more

than 12% of total expected energy use by NRE facilities, on

construction, extension or remodeling of buildings.

Between 2004 and 2014, public institutions submitted 3,574

installation plans. Most of the investments were made in

geothermal, solar photovoltaic, and solar thermal. In September

2008, the program included school buildings, and in 2009,

it included remodeling buildings. In 2011, the program set a

standard that required more than 10% of total energy use. This

share was increased to 12% in 2014

Installation loans are provided to installers of facilities that

produce or utilize NRE, while operation loans are provided to the

manufacturers of NRE facilities.

Loans are provided for up to 90% of the total cost for small

businesses, 70% for medium sized businesses, and 40% for

large companies. Additionally, about 10% of total investment in

the installation of NRE facilities can be deducted from income

tax or corporate tax.

Renewable Fuel Standard, RFS

KEA is launching a new scheme that obligates transport fuel

suppliers to blend existing fossil fuel with certain portion of

bio-fuel mix, starting from July 2015, based on Promotion

Act for New & Renewable Energy Development, Utilization and

Dissemination.

The fuels covered by this program are biodiesel sold by

petroleum exporters and importers and petroleum refining

businesses under the ‘Petroleum and Petroleum Substitute Fuel

Business Act’. In the near future, bio-ethanol and biogas will be

included in the mix, and the annual obligated share will expand

to 2.5% in 2015-2017 and 3.0% in 2018-2020.

The government calculates and sets obligation target every

year, and the supply companies implement to reach the annual

target by installing renewable energy power plants or buying the

RECs from other NRE power producers. The purchased RECs are

submitted to the government to be counted as compliance.

The power suppliers are guaranteed the additional costs of

implementing the RPS by the performance results. In case the

targets are unmet, obligators can postpone the implementation,

and if the obligators implement more than the given target, the

over fulfilled targets can be counted as next year’s performance.

If they fail to meet the RPS target, they must pay a penalty of

less than 150% of the average REC price.

Since the scheme was introduced in 2012, the installation

capacity soared to 3.485MW(Solar 1,437MW, non-solar

2,048MW), which is 3.4 times bigger than the capacity installed

during the FIT(Feed-in-Tariff) period of 10 years.

PV Rental Business

In this program, PV rental companies install PV systems in

households and provide maintenance service to homeowners.

The households can save the electricity cost and lenders can

gain profit by collecting rental fees from households and selling

Renewable Energy Point (REP) to power suppliers.

Renewable Portfolio Standard, RPS

RPS (Renewable Portfolio Standard) is a system that places

an obligation to power suppliers with a capacity of more than

500MW (NRE power plants excluded) to produce a certain

amount of power from NRE sources. The targeted energy sources

are solar PV, wind power, hydropower, bio-energy, fuel cell, and

tidal power. The level of obligation target in 2012 was 2% of the

total power generation, and it increases up to 10% by 2022.

As the Kyoto Protocol entered into effect in February 2005, Clean

Development Mechanism(CDM) was introduced to implement

the targets that were given to developed countries, and it was

performed by developed and developing countries together

to commit GHG emission reduction projects. CDM allows the

developed countries to get Certified Emission Reductions

(CERs), which can be used towards the implementation of GHG

emission reduction commitments and allows the developing

countries to sustainable development with environmental-friendly

technologies and financial support. KEA has been accredited

as CDM, Designated Operational Entity(DOE), to ensure the

Energy Voucher Program

To increase energy access, energy vouchers for heating are provided to the

energy poor during the winter season for low income groups and social welfare

organizations.

* Energy Voucher is an electric or magnetic voucher provided to the energy

poor, that can buy energy from energy suppliers.

Discussion in energy welfare policy started when a young girl died from a fire

accident sparked by a candle flame in a house where power supply was cut

off because of delayed electricity bills. Energy costs usually double during

wintertime, and the burden is greater for low-income and disabled households.

The energy welfare scheme has been launched, customized to different

households to lower the energy cost burden.

The government declared the end of energy poverty in the first Energy

Masterplan in 2008, and listed the energy voucher scheme as one of the

national agenda in 2013. As part of the government's effort to minimize the

negative impact of energy price reform and to provide a safety net for the

energy poor, the energy voucher scheme has been included in the second

Energy Masterplan in 2014.

Under the program, about 800,000 houses that meet the criteria of income,

household, or residence types, will be subsidized with 100,000 KRW during

3months of the winter season.

KEA expects the targeted houses will be low income groups including the

disabled senior citizens aged over 65 years, or infants aged under 5 years. The

subsidy will be the energy cost difference between winter season and non-

winter season, and grades will be given depending on the size of household

and energy sources.

Efficient Appliances for Low Income Groups

KEA supports costs for replacing low efficiency lighting equipment with high

efficiency lighting equipment (LED) of low income groups and social welfare

organizations, free of charge.

Energy Efficiency for Everyone

Energy demand management is a policy of the people, by the people, and for the people, that cannot be

performed without nationwide engagement and awareness. KEA hosts energy exhibitions and provides

education for people at home and abroad for a smart energy society and climate change response.

Climate Change Response Program in Developing Countries

Korea is recognized as one of the advanced nations which

achieved rapid economic growth. The development experience of

becoming a donor country from a recipient country in ODA, is an

experience often cited as a model for developing countries.

KEA has accumulated know-how through various energy related

activities for the past 35 years and many developing countries

have requested KEA to share the knowledge of implementing

energy saving policies.

Since 2008, KEA has been engaged in supporting overseas

projects for GHG reduction, investing a total of 20.2billion KRW

as of 2014, in regional expert organizations’ activities, feasibility

studies and knowledge exchange events. KEA partnered with

the World Bank (WB), Inter-American Investment Co. (IIC), and

Asian Development Bank (ADB) on energy efficiency projects

worldwide, and ADB designated KEA as Center of Excellence and

established a sustainable partnership for energy efficiency and

NRE related fields.
