Chungnam to Install Large-Scale Solar Power Facilities in Dangjin and Boryeong

[Asia Economy (Naepo) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] Chungnam Province will install large-scale solar power facilities in the Dangjin and Boryeong areas.

The province will invest 2 billion KRW to install 700 kW-scale solar power facilities at three sites: Dangjin Godaebugok and Hapdeok sewage treatment plants, and Boryeong public sewage treatment plant.

The installation of solar power facilities is being promoted as part of the Carbon Neutral Program for Environmental Basic Facilities.

This program is a Ministry of Environment public project aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions by installing renewable energy power generation facilities in environmental basic facilities such as incineration plants, wastewater and sewage treatment plants, and waste treatment plants.

The province aims to produce 905,930 kWh of electricity annually through the installation of solar power facilities in the Dangjin and Boryeong areas. This amount of electricity can supply power for 1,090 people for one month, and the electricity generated from solar power is expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 41.4 tons annually (equivalent to planting about 3,000 pine trees).

A provincial official said, "It is difficult to adjust the amount of energy used in environmental basic facilities," adding, "Considering this, renewable energy is the most realistic way to replace fossil fuel energy and reduce greenhouse gases."
