Ministry of Industry: "No Issues in Stabilizing Power Grid During Spring"
On-site Inspection of Sejong Substation for System Stabilization Measures in Spring 2024
Choi Nam-ho, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, conducted a focused inspection on the status of equipment management and stable operation plans for power facilities during a visit to the Sejong Substation on the 25th, marking the 2024 spring power grid stabilization period.
This spring is expected to see the lowest power demand on record, while volatility is intensifying, increasing the difficulty of power grid operation. In response, the power authorities established the 2024 Spring Power Grid Stabilization Measures on the 19th of this month, considering the grid conditions this spring. The period from the 23rd of last month to June 2nd has been designated as the measure period, and a joint emergency response team consisting of the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, Korea Power Exchange, and Korea Electric Power Corporation is operating to ensure thorough stabilization of the power grid.
The Sejong Substation visited on this day is located on a large-scale transmission line connecting Honam and the metropolitan area. It is a key substation where unexpected situations such as substation failures could cause grid instability, including intensified output control. Accordingly, an emergency response system and power facility inspection plan have been established.
