“…We assumed that the possible distance ranges from 100 to 1000 m. Those levels reflect the regulations on separation distance (i.e., setback distance) of RE power plants in several countries including South Korea. As of June 2018, 94 of the 228 local governments in South Korea enforced the separation distance regulation on photovoltaic power facilities, and most of them span 100 to 1000 m [38]. In terms of wind power, there are no statutory regulations in South Korea yet, but in general, it is suggested that a distance of 500 to 1500 m from residential area is negotiable with local residents [39].…”

Under the new climate regime, renewable energy (RE) has received particular attention for mitigating the discharge of greenhouse gas. According to the third energy master plan in South Korea, by 2040, 30–35% of the energy demand must met with RE sources. To ensure relevant policy design to achieve this goal, it is crucial to analyze the public’s willingness to accept community-based RE projects. This study conducted a nationwide survey to understand the opinion of the public and also that of local inhabitants living near a RE project. A choice experiment was employed to measure public preferences toward RE projects. The analysis reveals that the type of energy source, distance to a residential area, and annual percentage incentives could affect acceptance levels. Additionally, investment levels were a factor in local inhabitants’ acceptance of energy-related projects. This study presents the relevant policy implications in accordance with the analysis results.

Energy Transition and Energy Democracy in East Asia

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

South Korea has been pursuing energy transition as a national task since 2017 when the first nuclear reactor, Kori-1, was permanently stopped and President Moon Jae-in gave a commemorative speech on June 19, 2017. This study aims to identify who the main speakers of the conventional electricity system are and how they resist the movement of such changes. This study focused on the role of the media and found that the issue of energy transition has been highly politicized. Conservative media have criticized the Moon government’s post-nuclear policy as a leverage and have highlighted problems surrounding renewable energy as it is a hotbed of great corruption. Those who oppose locating renewable energy facilities to their community have taken advantage of such press reports. Energy transition requires more energy citizens who recognize not only their right to enjoy basic energy needs, but also their responsibility for the socio-economic and environmental impacts of their energy use. The realization of energy democracy pursuing energy and climate justice will take time but social dialogue based on scientific evidence and deliberation will open the way toward energy transition while identifying fake news and opposing interests adhering to the conventional electricity system.
