Comprehensive | SK IE Technology provides a highly detailed picture of its climate-policy lobbying. It identifies the exact policy instruments it engages on, including the RE100 global initiative, the Korean K-RE100 scheme run by the Korea Energy Agency, the electricity “green premium” purchasing programme administered by KEPCO, and the Amendment to the Enforcement Decree of the Electric Utility Act that enables corporate power-purchase agreements. The company also explains the channels it uses and the decision-makers it addresses: it takes part in government-hosted RE100 meetings and conferences, attends round-table discussions chaired by the Vice-Minister of Trade, Industry and Energy, bids in the Green Premium auctions, and works directly with both the Korea Energy Agency and KEPCO. Finally, it is explicit about the outcomes it is pursuing, such as early achievement of 60 % renewable electricity by 2025 and 100 % by 2030, greater payment flexibility under PPAs, reduced extra charges for renewable purchases, and additional incentives for RE100 participation, as well as broader “system improvements” to embed these changes in regulation. This combination of clearly named policies, well-defined mechanisms and targets, and concrete policy goals demonstrates a comprehensive level of transparency in the company’s climate-related lobbying disclosures. | 4 |
