Some ri seats and villages in Kim Chaek City, North Hamgyong Province have exploited wind to generate electricity needed for dwelling houses and entertainment.

Wind power generators have been installed in newly built modern dwellings in the suburbs of the city.

Each house avails itself of sea wind, with a vane on its roof.

Many west coastal areas and some cities and counties including Kaesong City and Hyangsan County, North Phyongan Province, too, benefit from such generators.

The Electricity Research Institute of the State Academy of Sciences has developed wind power generators with a high degree of efficiency.
