[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bo-kyung] Korea District Heating Corporation is accepting applications for the extension of the electricity bill payment period until the 30th of next month to alleviate the household burden of vulnerable groups such as small business owners and basic livelihood security recipients affected by the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).

Korea District Heating Corporation supplies district electricity to ▲ Samsong District (Deogyang-gu, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do) ▲ Sangam 2 District (Mapo-gu, Seoul) ▲ Garak Raemian Park Palace (Songpa-gu, Seoul) ▲ Southeast Distribution Complex (Songpa-gu, Seoul).

The application targets for the extension of the electricity bill payment period are households receiving fixed-rate welfare discounts for residential use, such as basic livelihood security recipients and persons with disabilities within the supply area, as well as small business owners.
