WIND ENERGY
The government's onshore wind power bidding has failed to meet its targets for the third consecutive year, selecting only three projects totaling 156.28 MW from a planned 230 MW for 2025. Experts warn that the annually lowered price caps, set at 163.85 Korean won per kWh, are too low to ensure project viability amid rising costs, raising concerns about achieving the 100 GW renewable energy capacity target by 2030.
