List of power plants in South Korea

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The power plants in South Korea are shown both on a map and in tables (with key figures). The list is not complete.

Installed capacity and annual production

In 2016, South Korea was in 11th place in the world with regard to installed capacity with 111.2  GW and 10th place in the world for annual generation with 526 billion kWh . The degree of electrification was 100% in 2016. South Korea was self-sufficient in terms of power generation in 2016; it neither imported nor exported electricity.

According to the Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO), the installed capacity of the power plants in South Korea at the end of 2012 was 81,805  MW , of which caloric power plants accounted for 52,305 MW (63.9%) and nuclear power plants for 20,716 MW (25.3%) and on hydropower plants 6,446 MW (7.8%). The installed capacity of the thermal power plants was distributed as follows: coal 24,533 MW, natural gas 20,566 MW and oil 7,206 MW. A total of 509.574 billion kWh were produced in 2012 , of which 180.752 billion were generated by coal-fired power plants (35.5%), 150.327 billion by nuclear power plants (29.5%), 113.984 billion by gas power plants (22.4%), 28.244 billion from oil power plants (5.5%) and 7.695 billion (1.5%) from hydroelectric plants. The peak load was reached on December 26, 2012 with 75,987 MW.
