Industrial electrification (replacing fossil-fuel equipment with electric alternatives) is advancing slowly among South Korean manufacturers because of high costs and policy uncertainty, a Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry survey found. Only 31.9% of respondents are pursuing electrification, while 62.9% have no plans and 5.2% intend to proceed. Among companies already making the shift, 56.8% described the burden as heavy, led by upfront investment costs at 84.0%, operating costs at 56.2% and policy uncertainty at 18.5%. The most requested measures were incentives to reduce power procurement costs, improved tariff and market rules, and more predictable energy policy. International examples include lower renewable-energy rates in parts of Texas, German subsidies tied to green investment and reduced renewable surcharges in Japan for companies meeting energy-efficiency requirements. A regional electricity-pricing scheme for industrial users, scheduled to take effect next year, was viewed as helpful by 91.8% of respondents, although views differed on whether it would encourage investment outside the greater Seoul area.
