Jeju Island, located off South Korea’s southern coast, is known for its beautiful natural environment with white sand beaches and volcanic lava tubes, and its designation by UNESCO as a World Natural Heritage Site. Jeju province is striving to make the island carbon-free by 2030. Despite Jeju Island currently receiving much of the electricity it needs from the South Korean mainland via underwater high-voltage DC power cables, the province strives to maximize renewable energy generated on the island.
