introduced several measures to reduce
curtailment of renewable energy power,
including implementing renewable energy
consumption quotas, promoting renewable
energy power market transactions, and
enhancing power transmission capacity,
setting an ambitious goal to resolve the issue
of curtailment by 2020. However,
curtailment primarily affects the onshore
wind power industry due to the fact that
onshore wind power is produced mainly in
Northern areas while the power is mainly
consumed by end users in the Middle
Eastern and Southern areas. Offshore wind
power, in contrast, is less impacted by
curtailment issues because it is closer to the
main power consumption areas.

developer must apply with the SOA to
obtain the right of use over such
uninhabited island; and
3.the developer must complete the required
registration and approval procedures with
