Preface North Korea suffers from chronic energy shortages. Rolling blackouts are common, even in the nation’s capital, while some of the poorest citizens receive state-provided electricity only once a year.
Access to solar panels has created capacity where the state falls short, but the overall energy security challenges facing the nation are daunting. This report, “North Korea’s Energy Sector,” is a compilation of articles published on 38 North in 2023 that surveyed North Korea’s energy production facilities and infrastructure.
For 2020, Statistics Korea estimates North Korea’s total electricity supply at 23.9 terawatt hours (TWh), while Nautilus estimates only 14 TWh. Both agree that hydro supplies the largest portion of electricity to the country and are in broad agreement on the amount.
While the regime regularly promises to solve the electricity problem, the vast majority of North Koreans remain severely energy deprived. Those in Pyongyang may get power every day, though with rolling blackouts. But for some in the more remote areas of the country, this could mean only getting power one day a year.
North Korea’s energy problems—and the state’s promises to fix them—are almost as old as the country itself. After the liberation of the Korean Peninsula from Japanese colonialism in 1945, the northern half of the peninsula relied on its abundant water resources to generate electricity.
In contrast, hydropower takes advantage of North Korea’s numerous mountains and rivers but also has a major weakness. The frigid temperatures every winter freeze rivers or reduce water flow, decreasing electricity production when the country needs it the most. Regardless, North Korea continues to invest in hydro projects, both large and small.
