The Energy Master Plan is an overarching plan that covers all energy sectors and coordinates energy related plans from a macro perspective. The Plan aims to provide a mid- to long-term vision of energy policy and sets targets to be addressed. It was introduced by Article 41 of the Basic Law on Low Carbon Green Growth and Clause 1 of Article 10 of the Energy Law. The First Master Plan was introduced in 2008. This is the Second Master Plan, which is supposed to last 5 years before being reviewed. The Plan addresses the following topics: 1. Matters concerning trends and prospects of domestic and overseas demand and supply of energy 2. Matters concerning measures for stable import, supply, and management of energy 3. Matters concerning the targets for demand of energy, the composition of energy source, the saving of energy, and the improvement of efficiency in the use of energy 4. Matters concerning the supply and use of environmentally friendly energy, such as new and renewable energy 5. Matters concerning measures for the safety control of energy; and 6. Matters concerning the development and diffusion of technology related to energy, the training of professional human resources, international cooperation, the development and use of natural resources of energy, and welfare in energy.---Note: Development of Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI), Energy Management System (EMS), Energy Storage System (ESS).

Through this Programme, the government compensates the difference between the base price of electricity notified by the Ministry of Industry, trade and Energy and traded power prices in order to encourage investment in the new and renewable energy sector. The program ended as of December 31, 2011 (no new participations from 2012) .
