Summary
Summary
Energy consumption trends
□ In H1 2016, Total Primary Energy Supply (TPES) is estimated to have climbed 2.0% Year on Year (YoY) to 145.2 Mtoe
o Despite a decline in coal consumption, TPES increased on a rise in both oil and nuclear power consumption.
o Consumption of energy for feedstock (including non-energy oil and coking coal for steel-making) fell 2.0% YoY, as naphtha consumption growth slowed and consumption of coking coal for steel-making plunged.
□ Consumption growth for all energy sources rose YoY except for coal
o Oil (6.7%) Naphtha consumption slowed due to dissipation of the effects of benzene and para-xylene capacity additions in 2014 as well as partial replacement naphtha with propane. However, oil consumption growth accelerated, as LPG consumption spiked, aided by expansion of propylene capacity in August 2015 and rising consumption of fuel oil for transport on sliding oil prices.
o Coal (-7.5%) Amid the continued downturn in the steel industry, consumption of coking coal for steel- making plummeted 10.2%. Also, with the downward revision of maximum power generation output for coal-fired generators in January 2016, coal-fired power generation declined, pushing down consumption of coal for power generation by 6.1%. As a result, the growth rate of the overall use of coal was more than 10% p lower YoY.
o Gas (-0.4%) The rate of sharp decline in gas consumption for power generation decelerated thanks to reduced generation of coal-fired power. Consumption of city gas also picked up, boosted by price cuts in accordance with the material costs linkage system. Accordingly, the pace of decline in total gas consumption slowed markedly.
o Nuclear (10.1%) Nuclear power generation grew at a sharp pace of over 10% for two quarters in a row, as reactor unit 1 at Wolsong Nuclear Power Plant (PP) received approval for a 10-year life extension in June 2015 and Wolsong’s reactor unit 2 launched in July 2015. The growth rate for H1 2016 increased more than 9% p YoY.
o Electricity (1.7%) Consumption of commercial electricity grew by over 3% on the back of sound
due to continued lackluster production activities in the manufacturing industry, restricting the recovery of overall electricity consumption.
□ In H1 2016, Total Final Consumption (TFC) jumped 2.2% YoY to 111.9 Mtoe
o Industry (1.4%) For energy for feedstock, consumption of coking coal for steel-making tumbled more than 10%, and the growth of naphtha consumption continued to slow for the five consecutive quarter until Q1 2016, before turning downward in Q2 2016. However, energy consumption for fuel swung to growth, as consumption of LPG used to produce propylene soared thanks to the propane dehydrogenation capacity additions in the petrochemical industry.
o Transport (5.0%) The growth of energy consumption for transport decelerated YoY on muted effects of the oil price slump as well as high base effects. Nonetheless, amid continuing bearish oil prices, growth was solid, thereby driving growth in TFC.
o Buildings (2.0%) The growth of energy consumption for buildings slowed, as the growth of electricity consumption slowed due to the dissipation of low base effects and gas consumption swung to contraction.
Energy demand outlook
□ In 2017, TPES and TFC are projected to rise 2.2% (to 297.9 Mtoe) and 2.3% (to 227.7 Mtoe), respectively
o In 2016, TPES is projected to increase 1.9%, buoyed by an upturn in oil demand due to sliding oil prices. In 2017, growth is forecast to pick up pace, as coal demand increases with the launch of new large-scale bituminous coal-fired PPs.
o In 2016, TFC is expected to rise 2.1%, led by energy demand from the transport and buildings sectors due to the impact of weak oil prices and an abnormal heat wave. In 2017, it is likely to continue to grow at around 2% growth, as industrial energy demand, sluggish in the previous year, partially picks up on the back of a rebound in exports.
□ Oil demand growth should slow; coal demand should rebound; growth of nuclear power generation should remain on track; gas demand should plummet
o In 2016, oil demand is forecast to climb more than 6% on weak oil prices, but in 2017, growth should
fall to the 2% level on a moderate rise in oil prices.
Summary
o In 2016, coal demand should drop 6.0% due to sharp declines in demand for power generation and steel-making. However, in 2017, it should bounce back nearly 6%, as demand for both power generation and steel-making reverses its decline.
o Nuclear power generation should expand to the 6% level in 2016, and 7% level in 2017 as new nuclear PPs come online.
o In 2016, gas demand is projected to recover, as the steep decline in demand for power generation slows and demand for production and local heating rises. However, in 2017, gas demand should drop over 10%
due to demand tumbling again for power generation.
o In 2016, electricity demand growth should recover to about 2%, despite tepid industrial demand, due to greater demand from buildings. But in 2017, growth should decline to a low- to mid-1% level, as recovery of industrial demand remains fragile and demand from buildings slows.

□ In 2017, growth in industrial energy demand should partially recover, while demand growth from the transport and buildings sectors should slow
o In 2016, industrial energy demand is expected to rise only 1.0%, despite stronger demand for fuel, due to shrinking demand for feedstock. But in 2017, growth should partly recover to 2.8% on the back of a rebound in demand for feedstock.
o In 2016, transport energy demand is estimated to soar nearly 5% on an oil price plunge. But in 2017, growth should slip to about 2% on an oil price rise, slowing YoY.
o In 2016, building energy demand is projected to climb 2.7% due to the unusual summer heat wave. But
in 2017, the growth should skid to the 1% level, driven by a return to temperatures of previous 10- year
average and high base effects.
Key features and implications
□ In H1 2016, TPES picked up, aided by a surge in oil demand and nuclear power generation, but at a limited pace due to weak consumption of coal
o TPES was driven up by oil and nuclear. Oil consumption across all sectors soared thanks to bearish oil prices and capacity additions in the petrochemical industry, while nuclear power generation also rose at a sharp rate with the entry of new nuclear PPs.
o Coal consumption, which had acted as a catalyst for TPES growth, became an impediment in H2 2015.
As the use for power generation and steel-making shrank further, this brought down TPES growth by over 2.0%p in H1 2016.
□ Generation of nuclear and oil power has made up for the decline in coal-fired power generation, reshaping the power generation mix and utilization rate of power generation facilities
o This year, coal-fired and nuclear power generation made up similar shares of the total, while the gap between oil and gas power generation has narrowed significantly.
o Utilization rate of power generation facilities has tumbled of coal, while that of nuclear has sustained growth and that of gas, while falling at a slower pace, has remained on a downward trend since 2014.
□ In 2017, increasing low efficiency coal-fired power generation should fuel growth in energy demand for power generation
o With the planned entry of large-scale bituminous coal-fired PPs, coal demand for power generation is projected to surge in 2017 after declining in 2016. This is likely to drive energy demand for power generation throughout the year.
o Gas power generation, a kind of peak load power generation, and gas demand for power generation will decline sharply, as the portion of base load power generation surges on a rapid rise in generation of bituminous coal-fired and nuclear power.
o Growth in energy demand for power generation should rise YoY on a surge in low efficiency coal-fired power generation, although the growth of total power generation will slow.
□ TPES portion ranking change for 2017: oil (1
st), coal (2
nd), nuclear (3
rd), gas (4
th)
o Gas demand, especially gas for power generation, is expected to plummet. As a result, gas as a percentage of TPES should drop below that of nuclear power again in 11 years.
o Meanwhile, reliance on oil is projected to increase for two straight years on a sharp fall in oil prices,
reaching 40.1% in 2016. However, it is likely to stay at a similar level in 2017, as oil reverses its decline.
