National Assembly

Pricing mechanism to purchasethe power generated by NRDs

Voluntary agreement b/w

government & energy publiccorporation for NRE use

Target setting and pricing

based on market mechanism

Paying premium prices based on

production costs by energy type

Setting a target by levying mandatory

volume or share on power generator

Feed-In Tariff: FITSince Jan. 10, 2002

Necessities


11/23

Feed-In Tariff (FIT) Subsidize cost difference between NRE powered generation and power

pool price

Feed-In Tariff differentiated by NRE type has been in place since 2002

Duration: either 15 or 20 years starting from the date of FIT subsidization

Total of 345MW (248 sites) has been subsidized as of Dec., 2008

Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS)

A portion of power production or sales to be generated by NREs

A PowerGen meets the obligation by choosing one of options, either

1) generation by itself, 2) purchase contract with NRE generators, or3) purchasing RECs in the secondary market

Renewable Portfolio Agreement (RPA)has been implemented for public

energy organizations in expectation of RPS implementation in 2012

Initial RPS is anticipated to be 1.7-2%

RPS was a policy option to be introduced in 2nd Basic Plan forNRE Development & Deployment (Dec. 2003)

Two national projects were conducted respectively by KEEI

and KERI (2005, 2007)

RPS introduction was publicly announced in Green EnergyIndustry Development Strategy (Sep. 2008) and the 3rd Basic

Plan for NRE Development and Deployment (Dec. 2008)

Revised bill of NRE promotional law was submitted (Dec.

2009) and passed in National Assembly (2010)Workshop was held for eligible entities and RPS mandated

organizations (Jun, 2009)

Public Hearing was held with stakeholders (Mar, 2010)
