Prioritizing the development of off-grid renewable energy in North Korea, such as solar panels and wind turbines, near under-electrified rural areas will provide a more significant number of North Koreans with access to energy.
Solar power is one potential solution to the current energy shortage in North Korea; however, owing to large spatial variance in solar energy resources in North Korea, further analysis of its mountainous terrain is necessary.
In this second installment of our series on North Korea''s energy sector, we will examine the evolution of solar energy in the state''s energy plans and policies. Hydropower still makes up the bulk of the country''s renewable
In this second installment of our series on North Korea''s energy sector, we will examine the evolution of solar energy in the state''s energy plans and policies. Hydropower still makes up the bulk of the country''s renewable energy generation, but solar has become increasingly important over the past decade.
North Korea is increasingly turning to solar power to help meet its energy needs, as the isolated regime seeks to reduce its dependence on imported fossil fuels amid chronic power shortages.

In the last installment of our series on North Korea''s energy sector, we looked at state development of solar power and panels and discussed how solar was beginning to contribute power to the electricity grid rather than just the
4 天之前· It leverages commercial satellite imagery, insights from North Korean state media, and other reports and anecdotal evidence to help inform public understanding of the country''s energy landscape and the challenges it faces in trying to better meet the needs of its people.
In this installment of our series on North Korea''s energy sector, we move away from official and commercial uses of solar and seek to understand the growing use of solar power for personal energy consumption in a country
In this installment of our series on North Korea''s energy sector, we move away from official and commercial uses of solar and seek to understand the growing use of solar power for personal energy consumption in a country where its people still suffer from an unreliable power supply nationwide.
In this second installment of our series on North Korea’s energy sector, we will examine the evolution of solar energy in the state’s energy plans and policies. Hydropower still makes up the bulk of the country’s renewable energy generation, but solar has become increasingly important over the past decade.
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.
Jeong-hyeon, a North Korean escapee, told the Financial Times that many residents in Hamhung, the second-most populous city, “relied on a solar panel, a battery and a power generator to light their houses and power their television”. But solar power is still only a partial solution to the country’s energy woes.
North Korea relied heavily on the Soviet Union for subsidized oil, and the country’s energy production and consumption rates dipped following the Soviet Union’s dissolution. The absence of these energy subsidies, aging infrastructure and a poor national grid system caused North Korea’s energy sector and economy to fall behind.
Introduction of Solar to North Korea’s Energy Mix The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK or North Korea) appears to have identified the benefits of harnessing renewable energy in the mid-2000s.
Under North Korea’s two-tier energy system, which prioritises industrial facilities, the only way for many citizens to access electricity is to pay state functionaries to allow them to install cables to siphon off power from local factories.
