The South Korea smart grid market size is anticipated to expand from USD XX Billion in 2022 to USD XX Billion by 2031 at a significant CAGR of 4.3% during the forecast period, 2023-2031. The growth of the market is attributed to rise in concerns pertaining to environment protection.
Smart grid is an electricity network for automation, communication, and IT systems that are mainly used for improving the connectivity of the various components to the power network.
The smart grid has six components, namely advanced metering infrastructure, demand response, electric vehicles, wide-area situational awareness, distributed energy resources and storage, and distribution grid management. The Smart Grid Investment Grant (SGIG) program aims to accelerate the modernization of the nation’s electric transmission and distribution systems.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the demand for smart systems is expected to rush and manage grid operations to reduce the human intervention. Moreover, various restrictions on production and supply chain during the COVID-19 pandemic poised a challenge to the smart grid market, since smart grid systems were still not operating at their full capacity.
