Sector Overview — North Korea

Electricity, Gas, Steam and Air Conditioning Supply companies in North Korea. Generation and distribution assets sit on critical national infrastructure β€” which is exactly why almost no country lets them change hands quietly. Utility ownership here, spanning electricity, gas, steam, district heating and cooling, and renewable generation, is routinely subject to sector-specific regulatory approval and, in many countries, foreign-investment screening that goes well beyond standard company registration. The paperwork to operate a power plant and the paperwork to own one are two separate regulatory tracks entirely.

Chronic power shortages persist despite new hydropower capacity

North Korea has faced a longstanding, structural electricity shortage, with rolling blackouts reported even in Pyongyang; specialist outlets relying on source networks inside the country report officials warning the shortage is likely to persist without a fundamental solution. The Orangchon Power Station complex, a five-station hydropower project in North Hamgyong Province, was completed in August 2022 and reportedly added 134 MW to the national grid; flooding in 2024 also reportedly damaged sections of the power grid, according to satellite-imagery-based reporting, underscoring the system’s continued fragility.
