Thursday, Oct 1, 2026 at 10:00 AM to Friday, Oct 2, 2026 at 2:00 PM KST

Korea Press Center International Conference Hall, 124 Sejong-daero, Jung-gu, Seoul, South Korea, 04520, Korea Republic Of.

Join Korean, Asian and international actors as we explore how renewables can create local value, strengthen energy security and build the trust needed to accelerate implementation. 

At a time when energy security, rising electricity demand, land-use pressures and community acceptance are shaping the pace of the energy transition, this event will explore what it takes to make renewables work for people, communities and local economies. Discussions will focus on two connected areas: agrivoltaics, as a practical pathway linking renewable energy, agriculture and rural development; and community energy, including solar and wind income villages, local ownership, benefit-sharing and models that create visible local value, support economic development and generate income for host communities. 

Participants will gain insights from Korea’s emerging leadership, hear from international examples, and exchange directly with policymakers, practitioners and experts working to turn community-centred renewables into reality. 

The event will provide a focused space to build connections, exchange international inspiring experiences, showcase solutions from Korean, Asian and beyond emerging approaches, and identify practical ways to move community-centred renewables from policy and pilot projects to implementation at scale.  

 

한국, 아시아 및 전 세계의 관계자들이 함께하는 2026 커뮤니티 에너지 컨퍼런스는 재생에너지가 지역 가치를 창출하고, 에너지 안보를 강화하며, 에너지 전환을 가속화하기 위한 방안을 모색하는 국제 행사입니다.

에너지 안보, 전력 수요 증가, 토지 활용 문제와 지역사회의 수용성이 에너지 전환의 중요한 요소로 부상하는 가운데, 본 행사는 재생에너지가 주민과 지역사회, 지역경제와 함께 성장하기 위한 방안을 살펴봅니다.

주요 논의 주제는 영농형 태양광과 커뮤니티 에너지입니다. 영농형 태양광을 통해 재생에너지와 농업·농촌 발전을 연계하는 다양한 접근 방식을 공유하고, 커뮤니티 에너지 분야에서는 주민참여형 태양광·풍력 사업, 지역 소유 모델, 수익 및 편익 공유 등 지역사회 중심의 에너지 모델을 다룹니다.

참석자들은 한국의 재생에너지 주요 사례와 해외 경험을 공유하고, 커뮤니티 중심 재생에너지 확대를 위해 노력하는 정책 관계자, 현장 실무자 및 전문가들과 직접 교류할 수 있습니다.

본 행사는 국내외 사례와 경험을 공유하고, 커뮤니티 중심 재생에너지를 정책 및 시범사업에서 실제 확산 단계로 발전시키기 위한 실질적인 방안을 모색하는 장이 될 것입니다.
