In particular, through this working group, Gyeonggi Province aims to proactively respond to the recent energy security crisis stemming from the situation in the Middle East, as well as the global RE100 movement. The province will strengthen policy implementation by identifying strategic initiatives to achieve its goal of supplying 10GW of renewable energy by 2030, in alignment with the Ministry of Climate, Energy, and Environment's target of 100GW by 2030 and the First Basic Plan for Renewable Energy.

Additionally, by holding subcommittee meetings and open discussions, the province plans to discover field-oriented policy ideas and institutional improvement tasks, and to reflect these in Gyeonggi Province's energy policy through a strategic report.

Cha Seongsu, Director of the Climate, Environment, and Energy Bureau of Gyeonggi Province, stated, "The energy transition is not only about responding to the climate crisis; it is also a crucial challenge of our time that enhances energy security, industrial competitiveness, and quality of life for residents. Together with private sector experts, we will further develop a Gyeonggi-style energy transition model and continuously expand the Gyeonggi RE100 policy that residents can truly experience."
