“…The ruling party, however, declared these worries as superfluous, arguing that KEPCO's deficit stemmed from the international increase in oil prices, LNG, and coal (Media Today, 2019). Thus, the MOTIE, which stated that the electricity prices would not increase during Moon's term (Jin, 2021), criticized the media for making an inappropriate calculation (MOTIE, 2019c). Yet, in the report provided to investors, KEPCO noted that it expected its financial situation to worsen due to the expansion of renewable energy and phase-out.…”

Policy governance with citizen participation has gained much attention in the application of participatory democracy. Accordingly, what conditions are needed to conform to the idea of policy governance and contribute to policy effectiveness? This article answers this question by examining the energy policy of the South Korean Moon Jae‐in government. It argues that—in addition to the formation of policy governance—democratizing its operation based on the democratic principles of legitimacy and responsibility is required, and theoretically presents conditions to this end. It then examines the Moon government's energy policy process, featuring nuclear phase‐out and fostering renewable energy. The government‐formed energy policy governance was represented by public debate committees and policy projects that accompany citizen participation under the banner of participatory democracy. However, it does not consider the democratic principles that led to people questioning its authenticity and brought about serious policy problems that hindered the accomplishment of policy objectives.

“…However, things changed soon after the ruling party was replaced. Moon was known to have supported the nuclear phase-out since 2012 (Jin, 2021). Moreover, after he became president, the ruling party (the Democratic Party of Korea) had more seats (128) than the first opposition party (the People Power Party [112]) in the National Assembly.…”
