- Coordinates
- 36.50° N, 127.50° E
- Tier
estimated· T3-modelledNo live feed and no published total for this region. A typical-shape profile is scaled to a capacity-based or literature anchor.
Modelled profile, scaled to annual (±40%)
- Uncertainty
- ±40% of peak GW
Published envelope for this tier. See the uncertainty model.
- Source provenance
modelled-fallback· No verified upstream linkThere is no verified upstream link. The snapshot is a typical-shape profile scaled to an anchor, or otherwise estimated.
- Source
- Curtailment = Ember/OWID 2025 wind generation 3.64 TWh × 4.1% published 2024 curtailment rate (MDPI 2024, citing IEA; mainland excl. Jeju). KPX live feed needs a serviceKey (Korean identity verification) — documented blocker, not wired.
Tier, provenance, and source are read at build time from src/lib/regions.ts — the same table the globe draws from. The validation record below is generated separately and gated against it by npm run ci:docs-drift.

Discrepancy analysis
No backfill and no TSO anchor parquet. Region relies on the published IEA/KPX annual anchor split across the typical-shape profile; solar reads 0 at local night by construction.
Known limitations
No region-specific limitations recorded. See docs/methodology/historical-backfill.md §"Known limitations" for cross-cutting notes.
