It was confirmed on the 7th that various solar damages, including soil seepage, occurred once a day this summer when torrential rains poured down. Last month, pro-women officials announced that “there are only 12 landslides this year,” but the actual damage has increased further. The opposition party insisted that “government agencies are blindfolding the public while passively trying to understand solar damage.”
According to the data presented by the Korean Energy Agency by Assemblyman Yoon Young-seok, the power of the people, a total of 52 cases of sun damage were counted from July 20 to September 4. In the last month, when it has rained torrentially, there have been soil losses, loss of solar energy installations and flood damage 1.1 times a day across the country.
The sun damage was found to have occurred intensively in the early to mid-last month when it rained torrentially. On the 8th of last month, a mountainside collapsed in Maedong village, Sangok-ri, Daedong-myeon, Hampyeong-gun, Jeollanam-do, and solar panels even crushed private houses. When divided into areas affected by sunlight, there are 20 cases in mountain areas, 12 cases in farmland, and 20 cases in others.
The opposition party maintains that even this is the least harm. The damage is greater because the Korea Energy Agency is trying to understand the situation only when a report is received from residents. Also, not all the damage caused by autumn typhoon Maisak (September 3) and Haisun (September 7) has been completed. In fact, on the 3rd, in Yangsan, Gyeongsangnam-do, where Mysak penetrated, an accident occurred in which a wind turbine collapsed due to a strong wind, but the Korea Energy Agency has not yet included this case in the case of damage. The Korea Energy Agency informed the National Assembly that “the damage caused by the solar energy facilities currently under construction has not been counted.”
Despite the circumstances, close friends have repeatedly mentioned the Korean Forest Service’s announcement last month that “of 12,721 accumulated permits for solar energy in the mountains, 12 cases have been damaged, 0.09%.” Former Justice Minister Cho Kook posted a media report on Facebook saying that “out of 1,079 landslides, there were only 12 solar power installations.” The damage) is less than 1% of the total, but how do you become the main culprit (landslide) over the remaining 99%? “It is said that there is hardly any damage from heavy rain related to solar energy installations.
The fact that renewable energy is a source of power generation vulnerable to climate change was revealed in this torrential rain. The relationship between solar power generation and total power generation during the peak power consumption period this summer was 0.8% in July and 0.9% in August (to 24). This means that the energy generated by solar energy is negligible at the time of maximum energy demand (peak time zone), when energy consumption is highest in summer. The wind power generation rate, which the government is pushing as the other hub of renewables, was also revealed at 0.2% last month and 0.1% in August. Even when both solar and wind power are added, it’s only 1%. The percentage of nuclear power plants that the government is pushing to shut down was around 18%.
In the three years from 2017, when the Moon Jae-in administration was launched, to last year, a total of 2,27,495 trees were cut down in forests across the country to install solar power generation facilities in the mountains. . The number of solar power licenses in the mountains is 1,435㏊ in 2017, 2,443㏊ in 2018, 1,024 in 2019 and 112ha in May this year, 17 times more in Yeouido. Representative Yoon Young-seok said, “In Korea, where 70% of the country is mountainous, precious forests are being indiscriminately trampled to install solar panels.” did.
