기후부는 12차 전기본에서 신규LNG 취소하고 재생에너지로 전환하라

A coalition of environmental organizations demands that the South Korean government stop the expansion of LNG power generation in the upcoming 12th Basic Plan for Electricity Supply and Demand, citing price volatility, carbon lock-in risks, and the economic viability of renewable energy alternatives.

• The authors argue that expanding new LNG power generation increases the risk of stranded assets and carbon lock-in, and they demand that the 12th Basic Plan for Electricity Supply and Demand replace large-scale new LNG plants with renewable energy and flexibility resources, including Energy Storage Systems (ESS).
• LNG is described as an unstable and expensive energy source, with prices doubling following the Middle East war. The document notes that LNG power generation heavily influences the System Marginal Price (SMP), accounting for 83% of SMP determination instances in 2025.
• The document criticizes the 11th Basic Plan for Electricity Supply and Demand, which projected LNG capacity to increase by approximately 60%, from 43GW in 2023 to 69GW by 2038. It specifically objects to the plan to replace closing coal plants with 14GW of LNG capacity.
• The authors claim that the government's reliance on hydrogen co-firing or mono-firing to reduce LNG emissions is technically uncertain and economically unsound, similar to the previously halted ammonia co-firing policy for coal power.
• The statement calls for the cessation of new LNG combined heat and power (CHP) plants, suggesting instead the electrification of heat demand through technologies like heat pumps.
