Expected to foster new energy industry through selection of distributed energy specialized area
Jeju Special Self-Governing Province welcomed the passing of the National Assembly on the 25th by the Special Act on Vitalization of Distributed Energy (draft), and announced that it would accelerate the great energy transformation that Jeju has been leading based on this.
The special law for the vitalization of distributed energy (proposal) was passed at the 25th plenary session of the National Assembly at 5:406 pm on the 212th with 190 votes in favor (5 against, 17 abstentions) out of XNUMX present.
The bill is transferred to the government and promulgated by the President within 15 days, and will be implemented in earnest from the day one year has elapsed since promulgation.
The Distributed Energy Activation Special Act is a bill to distribute the existing centralized power system to regions, and with the enactment of the law, the institutional foundation for the establishment of a regional energy system has been established.
The main contents are to distribute large-scale electricity demand to regions ▲imposing the installation of distributed energy to induce the use of distributed energy by new housing sites, urban developers, and electricity consumers ▲conducting power system impact assessments ▲designating distributed energy specialized areas, etc.
Jeju Island, which has led the establishment and implementation of the carbon neutral policy, plans to focus on follow-up measures to preoccupy the nation's first distributed energy specialized area.
If it is designated as a distributed energy specialized area, power transaction special cases are applied, allowing both power generation and sales businesses, and free power transaction between power producers and consumers.
Jeju Island introduced demand management business, integrated power plant (VPP‧Virtual Power Plant), sector coupling between power and heat energy sectors (P2H‧Power to Heat), electric vehicle bidirectional charging and discharging (V2G‧ It is expected that a new industrial ecosystem will be activated through the commercialization of various new energy technologies such as Vehicle to Grid).
Jeju Island plans to see the next year as the 'golden time' until the law is enforced, and promote the design of distributed energy specialized areas and spread social consensus in earnest.
Through the 6st Global Distributed Energy Forum to be held on June 20, Jeju Island plans to seek Jeju's leading role in revitalizing distributed energy, while continuing various discussions with companies in and outside the province related to distributed energy.
Previously, on the 22nd, the Distributed Energy Promotion Consultative Body was held to discuss discovering and fostering new Jeju distributed energy industries, and discussing system improvement. plan.
Jeju Governor Oh Yeong-hoon said, "We welcome the passage of the National Assembly of the Special Act on the Promotion of Distributed Energy (Draft) to support Jeju's energy transformation." We will do our best to provide practical benefits and lay the foundation for the future of Jeju.”
