In response to the Fukushima nuclear accident, the Seoul Metropolitan Government, in 2017, created the 2022 Solar City Plan. This plan aimed to bolster the residential solar power sector by adding 1 GW of capacity by 2022. Included in this plan is to install mini solar panels at 540,000 apartment balconies, 90,000 rental homes and 370,000 buildings. In June 2020, President Moon Jae-in announced the Green New Deal, which proposed a $62.18 billion
