In this new series, 38 North will look at the current state of North Korea''s energy sector, including the country''s major hydro and fossil fuel power stations, the state''s push for local-scale hydro, the growing use of renewable energy and research and development into new energy sources.
North Korea: Many of us want an overview of how much energy our country consumes, where it comes from, and if we''re making progress on decarbonizing our energy mix. This page provides the data for your chosen country across
This study argues that renewable energy cooperation can help North Korea address its energy shortage, which has remained unresolved since the 1990s. Amid the deteriorating production and supply conditions, these programs can generate immediate benefits, such as access to energy for North Koreans. Under
Seven specific energy-sector initiatives that will assist in the process of rapprochement with the DPRK, help the DPRK to get its economy and energy sector working in a sustainable (and peaceful) manner, and help to pave the way for additional cooperative activities in the energy sector include:
This article examines North Korea''s current energy security situation and suggests severalpossibleenergyoptionsforthecountrytoovercomeitsenergyshortagecrisis. The study investigates the serious problems of North Korea''s heavily China-dependent energy structure, and ultimately proposes ensuring North Korea''s energy
4 天之前· Access to solar panels has created capacity where the state falls short, but the overall energy security challenges facing the nation are daunting. This report, "North Korea''s Energy Sector," is a compilation of articles published on 38 North in 2023 that surveyed North Korea''s energy production facilities and infrastructure.
This compilation of articles explores North Korea''s energy security challenges and chronic electricity shortages by utilizing commercial satellite imagery, state media and other sources to survey the nation''s energy production facilities and infrastructure.

Despite North Korea''s pervasive electricity challenges, Pyongyang''s renewable energy campaigns have been rather limited. Most of the efforts are focused on developing hydro and solar power, with little notable progress in areas like wind and tidal power, regardless of the country''s potential in these areas.

Primary energy use in North Korea was 224 TWh and 9 TWh per million people in 2009. [1] The country''s primary sources of power are hydro and coal after Kim Jong Il implemented plans that saw the construction of large hydroelectric power stations across the country.
North Korea is a net energy exporter. Primary energy use in North Korea was 224 TWh and 9 TWh per million people in 2009. The country's primary sources of power are hydro and coal after Kim Jong Il implemented plans that saw the construction of large hydroelectric power stations across the country.
Access to solar panels has created capacity where the state falls short, but the overall energy security challenges facing the nation are daunting. This report, “North Korea’s Energy Sector,” is a compilation of articles published on 38 North in 2023 that surveyed North Korea’s energy production facilities and infrastructure.
While North Korea’s thermal power stations continue to play an important role in the state’s energy mix, the stations were built decades ago in collaboration with engineers from the former Soviet Union and China. The outdated technology makes them inefficient, and thermal capacity has not risen significantly in decades.
While the regime regularly promises to solve the electricity problem, the vast majority of North Koreans remain severely energy deprived. Those in Pyongyang may get power every day, though with rolling blackouts. But for some in the more remote areas of the country, this could mean only getting power one day a year.
In the final installment of our series on North Korea’s energy production, we dive into the country’s use of wind and tidal power. Both wind and wave resources in North Korea have the potential to make an impact on the country’s energy generation and create more consistent access to electricity.
However, as noted in previous installations of this energy series, North Korea’s recent drive to bolster renewable energy capacity has primarily focused on solar and hydropower, despite its capacity for wind energy generation. North Korea’s coastlines and overall mountainous terrain lend themselves relatively well to the generation of wind power.
