The latest test launches of what Pyongyang claimed was a hypersonic missile on January 5 and on January 11 further demonstrate that North Korea will continue to push ahead with manufacturing and perfecting the nuclear weapons and weapons systems that Kim had ordered last January. Taken together, his remarks at the January 2021 Party Congress and
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.

Advanced Microgrid Solutions (AMS) and Shell Energy North America have signed a memorandum of understanding under which up to 20 MW of battery storage will be installed across California. Through the agreement, AMS and Shell Energy will work together to identify new and existing direct access and utility customers who want to install advanced
A cyber-espionage campaign with links to North Korea is targeting companies in the energy and aerospace industries, according to new research from Mandiant. The group behind the campaign, tracked as UNC2970, is likely linked to North Korea and overlaps with another Pyongyang-backed threat actor, TEMP.Hermit.

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. Despite this, few larger-scale wind farms—and only one tidal power station—contribute to the North''s energy supply.

North Korea''s December 2022 drone infiltration into South Korea caught the latter off-guard, resulting in a disorganized scrambling response. Joseph Dempsey notes in a January 2023 article for the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) that North Korea''s December 2022 drone incursion into South Korean airspace marks a

North Korea: Energy intensity: how much energy does it use per unit of GDP? Click to open interactive version. Energy is a large contributor to CO 2 – the burning of fossil fuels accounts for around three-quarters of global greenhouse
SEOUL (Reuters) -North Korea successfully test-fired a new hypersonic missile, state news agency KCNA said on Wednesday, the latest step in a plan its leader Kim Jong Un described as aimed at
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
SEOUL, REPUBLIC OF KOREA – Gov. Doug Burgum on Monday led a North Dakota delegation on the first day of a trade and investment mission to South Korea, signing a memorandum of understanding (MOU)
In analyzing this key sector that makes up a fundamental part of North Korea''s energy consumption, we also gain a glimpse of how North Korea is able to cope with a multitude of sanctions imposed by the United Nations in addition to understanding the link between North Korea''s energy insecurity and its nuclear weapons program.
Despite their potential as a naturally-available clean energy option, the renewable energy resources of the Democratic People''s Republic of Korea (i.e., North Korea) have rarely been evaluated. Therefore, to estimate the availability of land surface solar irradiance necessary for solar applications and to model available energy potential
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.
Pyongchon Thermal Power Station generates electricity for central Pyongyang. Energy in North Korea describes energy and electricity production, consumption and import in North Korea. North Korea is a net energy exporter. Primary energy use in North Korea was 224 TWh and 9 TWh per million people in 2009.
A History of Problems North Korea’s energy problems—and the state’s promises to fix them—are almost as old as the country itself. After the liberation of the Korean Peninsula from Japanese colonialism in 1945, the northern half of the peninsula relied on its abundant water resources to generate electricity.
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.
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.
North Korea has electric power transmission organizations in provinces and cities throughout the country, responsible for regulating electricity distribution and manufacturing renewable energy generators such as wind turbines, in addition to running other solar and wind installations.
The European energy storage market is booming with Germany leading residential adoption (+58% YoY) thanks to €500/kWh subsidies. Italy's new tax credits drive 5.2GWh commercial deployments, while UK grid-scale projects exceed 8GWh with 2-hour duration systems. Key selection criteria: German-certified safety (VDE-AR-E 2510), 10+ year warranties, and VPP readiness. Top-performing products include Sonnen's hybrid inverters (98% efficiency) and BYD's Blade Battery (12,000 cycles @80% DoD). For snowy regions like Scandinavia, consider Huawei's -30°C compatible systems. France mandates carbon footprint declarations - Sungrow's ISO-14067 certified solutions gain preference.
For European homeowners, 5-10kWh systems with 3-phase compatibility are ideal. Top picks: 1) Tesla Powerwall 3 (13.5kWh, 97% round-trip efficiency) for smart home integration; 2) LG Chem RESU Prime for compact urban installations; 3) SMA Sunny Boy Storage for retrofit projects. Critical features: EU-made battery cells (exempt from CBAM tariffs), dynamic tariff optimization (like Octopus Energy integration), and fire-safe LiFePO4 chemistry. Southern Europe demands 85%+ depth of discharge capability, while Nordic markets require -25°C operation. Always verify CEI 0-21 compliance for Italian grid connection and EnWG certification for German feed-in.
