A seminar will address issues related to power transmission networks that hinder electricity supply for large-scale industrial projects, as well as challenges in securing energy and critical minerals amid international geopolitical instability.
The National Economic Advisory Council and the National Future Strategy Institute at Seoul National University announced on October 22 that they will hold a joint seminar titled 'How to Overcome Power Grid Bottlenecks and Energy Geopolitics' on October 28 at the Bank Hall in Jung-gu, Seoul.
The seminar will consist of two sessions focusing on expanding the electricity supply infrastructure necessary for large-scale projects and enhancing resource security in response to geopolitical crises.
In the power grid session, Kwon Hyo-jae, CEO of COR Energy Insight, and Lee Gyu-seob, a professor at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Seoul National University, will present strategies for expanding electricity supply and transmission networks needed for mega-projects, as well as the challenges faced by three major mega-projects.
In the energy and resources session, Lee Chung-jae, a research fellow at Korea Investment & Securities, will discuss 'The Middle East Crisis, Energy Security, and Challenges for the Korean Oil Industry.' Jeong Eun-hye, a professor at the Department of Energy Resources Engineering at Seoul National University, will address 'Global Supply Chain Crises and Challenges in Critical Mineral Resource Security.'
Each session will include discussions with government agencies, related organizations, and academic experts to examine key risk factors and discuss policy directions to support stable energy supply and economic growth.
Those wishing to attend can register in advance on the National Future Strategy Institute's website. The event will also be streamed live on the official YouTube channels of the National Economic Advisory Council and the National Future Strategy Institute.
