ABSTRACT

The world has been making active use of IT(information technology) infrastructure for the energy efficiency. Especially, EU’s energy informatization strategy is prominent in terms of its scope and systematicness, based on participation and collaboration. Korea, however, does research on energy-IT convergence focusing just on power grid and does not have a long history of research on energy-IT convergence. We carry out an in-depth study on comparing the energy efficiency policies of EU and Korea in terms of the R&D process, range, and direction. We try to draw implications in setting an strategy on the future convergence policy of energy and IT. The energy efficiency strategy and informatization strategy should be closely connected and policy makers should show concrete action plans to apply the next generation IT for energy efficiency. Furthermore, the policy makers should pay attention to measures to cope with the risks temming from energy informatization.
