The public opinion about of nuclear-phase out in South Korea is growing after the accident of nuclear power plants in Fukushima, Japan. The purpose of this study is not only to suggest the need of nuclear-phase out energy scenario for energy transition in South Korea, but also to explore a alternative energy scenario with backcasting approach. To this end, the concept and the role of energy scenario are discussed in socio-political context. The importance of backcasting methodology as an alternative approach is suggested after reviewing the problems and limits of forecasting approach used in conventional energy planning. The study critically reviews the South Korean government’s nuclear-based energy policy and conceptualizes a nuclear-phase out scenario, using backasting methodology. The argues that the energy forecasting merely extends the past trends with a marginal adjustment is not an objective procedure. It is rather a political procedure, often a self-fulfilling road map crafted by vested interests. Another problem of energy forecasting is that it requires sophisticated knowledge that prevents the public participation from energy decision making process. In contrast, the backcasting approach, essentially interested in desirable future, will assure greater possibility of democratic energy system in determining our energy future.
