[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kang Woo-kwon] On the 14th, Miryang City in Gyeongnam announced that it has been selected for the '2021 Renewable Energy Convergence Support Public Contest Project,' hosted by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy and promoted by the Korea Energy Agency, for the fourth consecutive year.

The Renewable Energy Convergence Support Project is a program that supports renewable energy facilities such as solar power and solar heat in public, commercial, and residential facilities in specific areas.

The city formed a consortium with specialized companies targeting Bubuk-myeon and Cheongdo-myeon areas and applied for the public contest project in May this year. It was finally selected after open evaluation and document review by the Korea Energy Agency.

The convergence support project includes 209 solar power sites (627 kW) and 105 solar heat sites (630㎡). Out of the total project cost of 1.923 billion KRW, 1.02 billion KRW in national funds will be supported, and 660 million KRW in city funds will be invested, with the project scheduled to begin in January next year.

In addition, Miryang City is supporting solar power facilities to about 200 households this year alone through the housing support project and mini solar power project, and plans to continue expanding support for the dissemination of renewable energy in line with the government's Green New Deal policy.
