South Korea staged a rare nationwide emergency drill for a possible power shortage Thursday as unusual cold spells are threatening to deplete its electricity reserves.
The drill was held from 10 a.m. for 20 minutes with power supplies cut off to eight government complexes throughout the country temporarily. It was in part intended to test the country’s response measures in case of a power shortage, but also to encourage people to cut electricity use during peak hours.
The Korea Power Exchange, the state-run power distributor, was forced to issue several power shortage warnings in December alone as temperatures remained well below freezing throughout most of the month.
