India deploys 3 ships to rescue crew off Paradip

Despite efforts to increase renewable energy, it is being wasted... Solutions to the 'power grid problem' are being sought in China. Renewable energy sources, which have been actively promoted through various policies, are being wasted due to power grid limitations. The government is planning to visit China, which has successfully implemented a large-scale power grid, to explore solutions. The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy announced on the 12th that a government delegation, led by Deputy Minister for Energy Policy Lee Chang-jae, will depart for China on the 13th to meet with officials from the National Energy Administration (NEA) and the State Grid Corporation of China (SGCC). During their visit, they will discuss ways to improve the efficiency of the power grid and increase the utilization of renewable energy. The government has been actively promoting the use of renewable energy, but the lack of infrastructure, such as power grids, has hindered the efficient distribution of renewable energy. In particular, the curtailed renewable energy, which refers to the amount of renewable energy that is not used and is instead discarded, has been increasing. In 2021, curtailed renewable energy reached 1,218 GWh, and in 2022, it surged to 5,044 GWh, a four-fold increase. The government plans to learn from China's successful experience in building a large-scale power grid and explore ways to apply it to the Korean power grid. China has achieved significant results in the development of its power grid, including the construction of large-scale renewable energy power plants and the expansion of high-voltage transmission lines. The government expects that through this visit, they will be able to obtain specific and practical measures to improve the efficiency of the power grid and increase the utilization of renewable energy. The government plans to use the results of this visit to establish a plan to improve the power grid and increase the use of renewable energy.
