* indicates monthly or quarterly data series
South Korea: Alternative and nuclear energy, percent of total energy use: For that indicator, The World Bank provides data for South Korea from 1990 to 2015. The average value for South Korea during that period was 1.1 percent with a minumum of 0.44 percent in 1994 and a maximum of 2.84 percent in 2014.

We show the alternative and nuclear energy use as percent of the total energy use in South Korea. It consists of noncarbohydrate energy that does not produce carbon dioxide when generated and includes hydropower and nuclear, geothermal, and solar power.
