The growing demand for new energy infrastructure has often been encountered with the difficulties of siting in power plants and electric transmission lines. Siting such large-scale and complex facilities produces so many-sided issues that it is highly necessary to develop an approach to resolving the related problems and conflicts. This paper introduces how the stakeholders have handled the issues and resolved conflicts with residents opposed the construction of 765 kV transmission line. The solar photovoltaic power generation, called "Hee-Mang Sunlight Power project", is used for persuading residents to agree with constructing high-voltage transmission line and sharing benefits. It is considered how the project performance such as generation output and resident's profits is and proposed what the project should be revised and supplement. The project is shown that the intractable spiting in energy systems can be smartly resolved with cost-effective institutional solutions instead of relatively expensive technical ones.

2008년 8월 국가에너지위원회는 제1차 국가에너지기본계획을 공표했다. 이 계획에 따르면 정부는 온실가스 저감, 에너지 안보 강화, 신성장 동력 육성 등을 위해 신 재생에너지의 비중을 2007년 2.4%에서 2030년 11%까지 높일 것이다. 이런 목표가 달성되려면 풍력, 태양광, 해양에너지, 바이오매스 등 재생가능 에너지 원별로 보급이 크게 확대되어야 한다. 2030년이면 태양광 발전 설비용량은 지금 보다 약 10배 증가한 3,504MW, 풍력발전은 설비용량은 지금 보다 약 12배 증가한 7,301MW에 이를 전망이다. 그러나 이런 보급 목표를 달성하기까지 여러 가지 장애와 난관이 존재한다. 극복해야 할 문제 중 하나가 재생가능 에너지 설비의 입지를 둘러싼 갈등 현상이다. 국내에선 태양광 발전소가 산지에 다수 들어서면서 산림 훼손 논란을 불러 일으키고 일부 지역에선 태양광 발전소 가동이 동 식물 피해를 유발한다는 민원까지 등장하면서 계획이 취소되거나 변경되는 사례가 발생하고 있다. 풍력 발전도 계획이나 시공 과정에서 환경영향을 둘러싼 갈등이 불거지면서 공사가 중단되거나 계획이 보류된 사례가 발생하고 있다. 현재의 제도와 여건에선 이런 갈등이 더욱 심화 증폭되어 중 장기적으로 신 재생에너지 보급 목표의 달성이 불투명해질 수 있다. 이 논문에선 국내 태양광 발전과 풍력 발전 시설의 입지와 운영 과정에서 발생한 갈등 사례를 분석하고 갈등 완화와 해소를 위한 정책적 시사점을 도출하고자 한다.

Local opposition against the construction of solar power facilities is a growing social issue in the context of renewable energy expansion in Korea. Local opposition, despite solar power generation being an environmentally-friendly and safe energy source, is an issue that requires diagnosis. This study examined the features of opposition against the location of small scale solar power panels developed in rural areas and draws policy suggestions to increase local acceptance. Four cases representing local conflicts have been selected from the period starting in December 2017 to March 2018 in Okcheongun, Chungbuk Province. In order to analyze those cases, a total of 38 local residents and stakeholders were interviewed. This study analyzes the reason of opposition against renewable energy development in their neighborhood based on the place attachment theory. As a result, the grounds of opposition are specifically found in three place attachment dimensions: place identity and place dependence in personal contexts; shared history, self-governing and membership, economic concerns and political concerns in community contexts; identity from nature, experiences of management on nature, environmental consequences in natural contexts. This study suggests policy implications for increasing local acceptance such as the resolution of technological concerns, a local participation system, adequate compensation measures and harmony with the surrounding landscape.

In the Korean electricity supply structure, the role of nuclear power generation is essential. But, the delaying of radioactive waste management program induces negative impact to the stable electricity supply. Despite the continuing endeavors of Korean Government and nuclear power industry, radioactive waste management program of Korea is experiencing a continuing setback. In this background, the study examined the past and current policy and recommends that; Long term safety assurance should be the prime objective of radioactive waste management; Siting process should be transparent and opened to the public with the involvement of safety regulatory authority; A new neutral organization which has no conflicts of interest with any other existing organizations should be established to coordinate and manage the R&D programs.

As national public interest in energy transition is growing, local conflicts over wind farms siting are also on the rise. However, there is a big gap between national opinion and the local acceptance of wind farms. To illustrate this gap, this paper analyzes the local acceptance of wind farms in terms of sensory, cultural, and institutional factors. First, the visual perception of wind turbines and the auditory perception of noise pollution are analyzed to explore sensory and aesthetic factors. Second, this paper analyzes the pung-su values, ecological values, and NIMBY values ??in order to examine cultural factors in terms of beliefs and values of local residents. Third, it analyzes the local perception of procedural justice, such as residents' consent, environmental assessment, and residential briefing, as well as of distributive justice such as damages compensation for the construction of wind farms. There is a limit to simply explaining local resistance to wind farms from the view point of NIMBY. Furthermore, more attention should be paid not only to institutional factors such as procedural legitimacy and economic compensation, but also to sensory and cultural factors in order to enhance the local acceptance of wind farms.
