Court Denies Construction of Combined Heat and Power Plant in Daegu Seongseo Industrial Complex

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Ju-cheol In] On the 6th, the Daegu District Court Administrative Division 1 (Presiding Judge Park Man-ho) dismissed the lawsuit filed by Reclean Daegu, the operator of the Seongseo cogeneration power plant, against Daegu City, which sought to cancel the refusal of approval for changes to the Seongseo 2nd Industrial Complex development plan and implementation plan.

In its ruling, the court stated, "It is difficult to definitively conclude that the air pollutants emitted from the power generation facility pose no risk to residents' health, and Daegu City has a public interest necessity to ensure that no harmful substances are further emitted."

Reclean Daegu filed the lawsuit after Daegu City refused approval for changes to the Seongseo 2nd Industrial Complex development plan and implementation plan last April, citing residents' health rights, and did not grant an extension permit for the cogeneration power plant construction project.

The company had been promoting the construction of a cogeneration power plant that burns waste wood solid fuel (Bio-SRF) to generate electricity on a 4,996㎡ site in Wolam-dong, Dalseo-gu, until the end of the year.
