Today, the construction of smaller-scale hydropower stations is the main focus of North Korea’s electric generation sector, and numerous projects are taking place across the country. Based on state media reporting, the power being generated is largely used in the region around each power station, helping to even out national power differences.
This installment of our series on North Korea’s energy infrastructure will examine one of North Korea’s largest hydroelectric power installations: Huichon Power Stations No. 1 through 12. Construction of the system first started during the Kim Jong Il era and ended in the Kim Jong Un era.
In the next installments, we will examine some of North Korea’s recent power station projects, including the Orangchon Power Station, which was recently completed after 40 years of work, and North Korea’s latest policy of small-scale hydro stations to serve local communities.
Pyongchon Thermal Power Station generates electricity for central Pyongyang. Energy in North Korea describes energy and electricity production, consumption and import in North Korea. North Korea is a net energy exporter. Primary energy use in North Korea was 224 TWh and 9 TWh per million people in 2009.
The No. 2 station feeds from the water that flows through the dam and the larger station, and this arrangement, according to North Korean media, means it “can operate a generator even in the dry season by using the water from the army-people power station and mountain streams.”
Access to solar panels has created capacity where the state falls short, but the overall energy security challenges facing the nation are daunting. This report, “North Korea’s Energy Sector,” is a compilation of articles published on 38 North in 2023 that surveyed North Korea’s energy production facilities and infrastructure.

By allocating resources to renewable energies and storage systems, North Korea could enhance its internal energy stability and establish itself as a significant contributor to the worldwide shift towards sustainability. Additionally, the implementation of energy retention technologies might bring noteworthy geopolitical consequences for North ...
In 2012, North Korea disclosed plans to build 10 new hydroelectric power stations downstream from the two Huichon power stations. The cascade system would see the power plants located one after another along the river and be powered by small dams. Each would generate 10 megawatts of electric power, and the entire project would take seven years ...
