Following upgraded free trade agreement negotiations in December 2025, South Korea and the UK are deepening cooperation in clean energy. Korea's renewable energy share is currently 9%, significantly below the global average of 34.3%.

Korean companies like LS Electric and Doosan Fuel Cell are expanding into the UK market, with LS Electric completing a £92.54 million energy storage project. The UK's renewable energy mix reached nearly 50% in 2025, propelled by legislative frameworks supporting decarbonization. The UK aims for 43-50 GW of offshore wind capacity by 2030, creating opportunities for Korean firms to enhance their renewable energy capabilities.
