Tue, 07 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Introduction

South Korean energy law governs the generation, transmission, distribution, and consumption of energy in one of the world’s largest energy-importing economies. The framework is shaped by the Electricity Business Act, the Nuclear Safety Act, and the Act on the Promotion of the Development, Use and Diffusion of New and Renewable Energy. The state-owned Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO) historically dominated the sector, though structural reforms have introduced competition in generation.
