North Korea has the potential to generate about 7,800 megawatts of power, but fuel shortages have reduced output to less than a third of this. The shortfall in turn has kept more than two-thirds of its industrial facilities idle.North Korea’s electrical grid still relies on facilities built by Japan during its 1910-1945 colonial rule over the peninsula.
I mention a similar empirical data point in a footnote regarding North Korea’s dependence on Japan… Imperial Japan.
It truly is a bastion of greener pastures.
