Signal Grid shortfalls disrupt renewable power supply to semiconductor, AI and RE100 industrial sites

Summary

The plan reports that a shortage of transmission capacity is disrupting the supply of renewable electricity to semiconductor plants, AI facilities and industrial complexes committed to RE100. It presents this bottleneck as an observed obstacle to linking the energy transition with industrial growth. The plan's answer is an energy highway, which it compares to the high-speed communications network that Korea built earlier. Through this grid it aims to expand renewable energy and raise the capacity of the economy and society to achieve carbon neutrality and respond to the climate crisis. The observation matters because the plan ties future growth industries directly to access to clean power.
