Nuclear energy provided 29% of all electricity generation in South Korea in 2020, according to data by state-controlled utility Korea Electric Power Corporation (Kepco).
South Korea’s nuclear reactor fleet produced 160.18 TWh of electricity in 2020, up by nearly 10% from about 146 TWh in 2019.
Local media said nuclear’s annual generation volume exceeded for the first time in four years 160 TWh, which can be explained by reactors coming back online after a number of 2019 outages.
