Südkorea wählt im Rahmen des nationalen Energieplans Yeongdeok für zwei große 1,4-GW-Reaktoren bis 2038 und Gijang für 0,7 GW SMR bis 2035

So far, I like the government’s energy plan.

– Total 100 GW output from renewable energy sources by 2030, 150GW by 2035 (30%), 80% coming from localized solar production.

– Reboot of Kori Nuclear Power Plant #2 (**+0.64GW**) just last week: [https://www.mbn.co.kr/news/economy/5186144](https://www.mbn.co.kr/news/economy/5186144)

– KHNP will reboot an additional 6 nuclear power plants by the end of July. The currently operational nuclear power in Korea generated 16.45GW as of last year, so **restarting another +4.05 GW** **by next month** + the new 새울 3 and 4 in Sept should bring Korea’s nuclear energy output to 23.3 GW by the end of 2026

* **현재 까지 재가동 완료: 신월성 1호기, 고리 2호기**
* **상반기 순차 재가동: 한빛 6호기, 월성 2호기, 월성 3호기 등**

– 2 new power plants Saeul 3 and 4 (새울 3,4) to come online in September 2026 (**+2.8GW**): [https://www.nucnet.org/news/south-korea-s-saeul-3-nuclear-plant-achieves-first-criticality-4-2-2026](https://www.nucnet.org/news/south-korea-s-saeul-3-nuclear-plant-achieves-first-criticality-4-2-2026)

– Uljin Shinhanul 3 and 4 (신한울 3 and 4) coming online in 2032~2033 (**+2.8GW**): [https://www.yna.co.kr/amp/view/AKR20260617164352003](https://www.yna.co.kr/amp/view/AKR20260617164352003)

– Additional **+2.8GW of nuclear power by 2038, +0.7GW by 2035.** Once the first SMR is completed, building additional plants would be quick.

– Essentially phasing out coal by 2035-2040.
