Preparing to Save Electricity in Summer... Seongbuk-gu Recruiting Participants for Eco Mileage Program

Resident Participation Energy Saving Program That Returns Incentives for Saving Electricity, Water, and City Gas

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Seongbuk-gu (Mayor Lee Seung-ro) is recruiting participants for the Eco Mileage program.

The Eco Mileage program is a citizen participation initiative where members who register on the website accumulate mileage points based on their energy usage savings (electricity, water, city gas).

If energy consumption over six months is reduced by 5-15% or more compared to the average of the past two years, participants receive 10,000 to 50,000 mileage points.

The accumulated mileage can be used in various ways, such as exchanging for traditional market Onnuri gift certificates, mobile cultural gift certificates, purchasing eco-friendly products, or paying apartment management fees and local taxes.

In particular, those who have installed solar panels or replaced boilers with eco-friendly ones are more likely to be eligible for incentives based on the energy savings achieved.

A district official stated, “Although social distancing measures due to COVID-19 have been eased, we ask applicants to register through the Eco Mileage website (http://ecomileage.seoul.go.kr) to minimize face-to-face contact. If this is not possible, applications can also be made by visiting the Environmental Department at the district office.”

Seongbuk-gu is leading environmental protection and energy saving efforts not only through the Eco Mileage program but also by initiatives such as the Seongbuk Energy Saving Center and selecting local energy-saving champions.
