Gov't to exempt CCTV monitoring requirement for non-walk-in ESS units
SEOUL, Nov. 2 (Yonhap) -- The government will seek to exempt the mandatory CCTV ...
Seoul, November 2 - The government is considering a relaxation of CCTV monitoring requirements for non-walk-in energy storage systems (ESS) that possess advanced safety features, according to officials. This move aims to alleviate the regulatory burdens on companies and bolster the competitiveness of the local secondary battery industry, which is facing intense market competition from low-cost Chinese lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries.
The Regulatory Rationalization Committee intends to finalize the review of these proposed deregulation measures by the end of the year and implement the necessary changes in the following year. Other planned measures include permitting power conversion systems (PCS) to be housed within the same container as the batteries following safety verification, and waiving permit renewals for wastewater discharge facilities if emissions increases are less than 10 percent.
Park Yong-jin, the committee's vice chairman, emphasized that this initiative responds to the rapid technological advancements and global competition in the secondary battery sector, with the goal of reducing the practical regulatory burdens on industry players.
