Seunghee Woo, Jeonnam Provincial Assembly Member, Establishes Basis for Installation Cost Support in Urban Gas Non-Supply Areas

Jeollanam-do Ordinance Proposal for Support of Urban Gas Supply Facility Installation Introduced

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Institutional grounds will be established to support the installation costs of city gas supply for areas without city gas in Jeonnam Province.

The "Jeollanam-do City Gas Supply Facility Installation Support Ordinance," primarily proposed by Jeonnam Provincial Assembly member Woo Seunghee, was approved as originally proposed during the relevant standing committee review at the 340th extraordinary session on the 23rd.

The ordinance stipulates that Jeonnam Province shall establish and implement an annual support plan for areas without city gas supply, and provides the basis for provincial budget support for installation costs such as supply pipelines and facility contribution fees borne by demanders.

Assembly member Woo Seunghee emphasized the necessity of the ordinance, stating, "The city gas coverage rate in Jeonnam is only 49.2%, far below the national average of 83.1%. I hope this will help reduce residents' fuel costs and improve their living environment."

He added, "Some metropolitan local governments with high urbanization rates, such as Seoul and Gwangju, have long enacted related ordinances to support city gas installation."

Meanwhile, the ordinance, having passed the standing committee, is scheduled for final approval at the 2nd plenary session of the 340th extraordinary session on the 28th.
