In December 2017, The Korean Government announced the Renewable Energy 3020 Implementation Plan. It sets a goal to produce 20% of its energy from renewable sources by 2030 and increase relevant job creation. According to the Plan, The Korean Government will deploy eco-environment with low-carbon energy and govern energy system adapting to the new climate regime. Major topics of the Plan are; RPS for energy supplier and FIT for small renewable users, PV deployment to agricultural area and buildings, Raising eco-environmental energy fund for utility scale renewable projects, Demonstrating eco-environmental and energy-independent cities.
