Sharing Current Status of Solar Power Policies with Industry Stakeholders

The Korea Photovoltaic Industry Association announced on the 4th that it held the 'Industry Meeting on Solar Power Industry Policy Issues' as the first event under the new leadership of Chairman Park Jong-hwan.

The meeting, held at the Government Complex Sejong, was attended by association officials, the Korea Energy Agency, and key representatives from domestic solar cell and module manufacturing companies. Attendees shared the current status and challenges of the industry following the government's policy shift and explored ways to revitalize manufacturing and strengthen export competitiveness through the establishment of solar power industry policies.

On the 25th of last month, the Korea Photovoltaic Industry Association appointed Park Jong-hwan, CEO of HD Hyundai Energy Solutions, as the 6th chairman at the association's general meeting. Given the recent government announcement of the 'Strategy for Expanding Renewable Energy Supply and Strengthening Supply Chains,' it was deemed necessary to have a new leader to guide the solar power industry, the core of renewable energy. To support the government's renewable energy policy changes, CEO Park of HD Hyundai Energy Solutions, a domestic solar cell and module manufacturer, was chosen to lead the association.

Chairman Park stated, "Amid the energy upheaval caused by the climate crisis, the solar power industry, the center of green energy, is also undergoing a transition. As the renewable energy market ecosystem is restored due to government policy changes, we will do our utmost to ensure that the solar power industry can lead this transformation," expressing his aspirations upon taking office.

The association views the current period under Chairman Park Jong-hwan's leadership as a second leap forward, as the government attempts a major shift in renewable energy policy through systematic expansion of solar power supply and supply chains.
