Forum on Renewable Energy Expansion and Power Demand Response Strategies
In the Age of AI, Is It Possible to Supply Electricity Without Building New Nuclear Plants?
To respond to the growing electricity demand in the AI era, the government has identified renewable energy expansion and the development of an “energy highway” as key policy directions.
This forum will provide a scientific analysis of future electricity demand and renewable energy potential, explore realistic expansion strategies through international cases such as Germany, and present policy recommendations based on insights from civil society and various stakeholders.
We kindly invite your interest and active participation.
