[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Chaeseok] Korea Midland Power announced on the 27th that it will provide 55 million KRW to areas surrounding its power plants to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) and revitalize the stagnant local economy.

This support was implemented to prevent the spread of COVID-19 into local communities by distributing masks and sanitizers to vulnerable groups around the power plants and supporting disinfection and quarantine activities.

It is also aimed at revitalizing the local economy by purchasing local agricultural products and flowers to increase sales for small business owners and stimulate consumption.

On the same day, Midland Power held a delivery ceremony for local agricultural and marine products worth 20 million KRW at Boryeong Jungang Market together with the traditional market merchants' association and the Chungcheongnam-do Community Chest of Korea.

Kim Sinhyung, Head of Planning at Midland Power, stated, "We will actively participate in blocking COVID-19 community transmission and carry out various activities to inject vitality into the local economy."

Going forward, Midland Power plans to provide more than 5,000 masks and over 1,000 hand sanitizers to children, elderly, and welfare facilities, as well as support disinfection and quarantine activities at these facilities.

Support projects such as purchasing flowers to assist flower farmers facing difficulties due to the cancellation of graduation and entrance ceremonies will also be implemented.

On the 6th, Midland Power had already provided 20 million KRW to supply hygiene products and daily necessities to the Asan and Jincheon areas, where COVID-19 related quarantine facilities are operating.

In the future, it plans to invest 40 billion KRW in priority purchasing of local products, fostering local industries, and community support projects for the development of the Chungnam region.
