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

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

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.

Combined Heat and Power & District Cooling Subsidy
Combined heat and power(CHP) was adopted in 1980s as one of
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
plans, and provides subsidies for the installation and design of
district cooling systems.

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.
Check Tire Efficiency for Your Safety
Tire Fuel Efficiency and Labeling Program
The purpose of the program is to promote the development, sales, and purchase of
efficient tires. KEA, with the government, sets the test methods and standards, performs
efficiency maintenance and provides customer information.
The efficiency grade is determined by rolling resistance and wet grip. It is mandatory to attach
a label for sale and production, to help consumers purchase efficient tires. Passenger car tires
were mandated since 2012, and minimum efficiency standards was implemented since 2013.
From 2014, tires for small trucks are covered by the program.

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.

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.

Certification of GHG Emission Reduction
KEA promotes GHG emission reduction activities by systematic
certification of national and international GHG emissions
reduction projects.
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
reliability and impartiality of the CDM project certification service
since November 2005, and participated in evaluation for CDM

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.
