The debate over industrial electricity pricing is in full swing. At the center of the discussion is a change in the structure of electricity rates by time of day. The main proposal is to lower daytime electricity rates and increase nighttime electricity rates. This is a policy decision to shift electricity demand to the daytime in line with a solar-centered electricity supply structure. The problem is that not all businesses are flexible enough to respond to this change. Industries that can't stop their processes, such as semiconductors, smelting, and steel, are likely to bear the brunt of rising industrial electricity prices. On the other hand, industries that can adjust their uptime will have the opportunity to reduce costs. In the future, electricity will be more than just a cost, it will be a competitive advantage. We are entering an era where when you use electricity is more important than how much you use. #industrialelectricitypricing #time-of-usepricing #renewableenergypolicy #koreaelectricitypricingstructure
