South Korea’s Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy released the 11th Basic Plan for Electricity Supply and Demand last month, setting a target for renewable energy sources to provide 21.6% of the country’s power generation by 2030.

But despite the country’s desire to raise the proportion of renewables in its energy mix, a closer look shows that Seoul’s ambitions have barely changed even as the threat of global warming has grown, rising just .1% from a target of 21.5% in the 10th Basic Plan released in 2022.
