[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Nam-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City (District Mayor Kim Byeong-nae) announced on the 27th that it is accepting applications for the 2020 Energy Voucher Project targeting households receiving livelihood and medical benefits with elderly, infants, disabled persons, pregnant women, and rare/severe disease patients as household members.

Voucher applications will be accepted until December 31, but if applied early, applicants can receive both summer and winter vouchers separately.

The usage period for the winter voucher is from October 14 to April 30 of the following year.

The support amount varies according to the number of household members.

In summer, 7,000 KRW is provided for a single-person household, 10,000 KRW for a two-person household, and 15,000 KRW for a three-person household; in winter, the amounts are 88,000 KRW, 124,000 KRW, and 152,000 KRW respectively.
