View original image[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Chaeseok] Korea East-West Power announced on the 23rd that it held a completion ceremony for the Dangjin Eco Solar Power Plant in Seokmun-myeon, Dangjin-si, Chungcheongnam-do.
The Dangjin Eco Solar Power Plant is the first case of converting a renewable energy power complex in line with the government's energy transition policy and Dangjin City's vision as a special energy transition city.
East-West Power, SK Gas, and Korea Development Bank jointly participated. The project cost is 54 billion KRW.
The capacity is 9.8 megawatts (MW) of solar power and 24.5 megawatt-hours (MWh) of energy storage system (ESS).
It is expected to generate 13,000 MWh of electricity annually and supply 3,500 households. By installing ESS, it compensates for the intermittency of solar power generation due to weather changes.
Originally, there were plans to build a coal-fired power plant in the area, but following the government's eco-friendly energy transition policy and Dangjin City's declaration of the special energy transition city vision, the construction was shifted to a renewable energy power complex.
After signing a business agreement with Dangjin City in April 2018, and holding two residents' briefings and public hearings to gather citizens' opinions, it was reborn as a solar power plant.
