is there electricity in north korea
Very little data is available about North Koreaâs energy supply, but U.S. Energy Information Administration figures suggest that North Korea produced almost 19 billion kilowatt hours of electricity in 2012, the latest year for which figures are available. That compares with 500 billion kilowatt hours in South Korea. âOur understanding is that in the big power plants, not all of the boilers are working,â said David von Hippel, an expert on North Koreaâs energy sector at the Nautilus Institute for Security and Sustainability.
