Climate and environment charge
climate-environment rate
The climate and environment charge is the line on a Korean power bill that shows policy costs such as renewable deployment and emissions reduction.
Under KEPCO's supply terms, the bill is the sum of the basic charge, energy charge, climate and environment charge, and fuel cost adjustment. This charge is a unit rate times kWh used.
The government split it out in the December 2020 tariff reform, and it has appeared separately on bills since January 2021. It made existing costs visible; the new line did not by itself add a new burden.
