Go-To Guide: South Korea launched the 2025 1st ESS Central Contract Market auction, offering 540 MW of capacity for energy storage projects across the mainland and Jeju.
The detailed conclusions regarding uncertainties at each level are as follows: The current state of the Korean power market would be unfavorable to ESS, as the expenses associated with construction would surpass the income generated by a larger capacity.
Often referred to as “electrical reservoirs,” ESS units play a vital role in managing renewable energy output. They store surplus electricity generated from sources like solar power during periods of low demand and release it when demand peaks, functioning as auxiliary batteries that stabilize the grid.
However, a string of ESS-related fires and a lack of infrastructure had dampened investments in this market. This was a heavy hit for the energy industry, but developments of safer technology and renewed state support have recently given new life to the domestic ESS market.
Based on the 2019 analysis conducted by the Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO), the cost-benefit ratio for ESS with RE was only 0.05, which is below 1.0 (Lee Seong-in, 2014). The government establishes the weights for REC and RE operators engage in REC trading through the Korea Power Exchange (KPX).
South Korea launched the 2025 1st ESS Central Contract Market auction, offering 540 MW of capacity for energy storage projects across the mainland and Jeju. This round expands coverage beyond Jeju, introducing refined procedures and stricter technical and operational standards based on lessons from the initial pilot.
Furthermore, the option to build after the detailed design and the option to wait for construction after the detailed design can also be utilized. This study proposes an optimal investment strategy based on the ROA to evaluate the profitability of ESS investments and determine the available value.
