[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Hyun] Haenam County (Governor Myung Hyun-kwan) has been selected for the 2021 Renewable Energy Supply Convergence Support Public Contest Project conducted by the Korea Energy Agency under the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy.

According to Haenam County on the 8th, the Renewable Energy Supply Convergence Support Project simultaneously inputs two or more energy sources such as solar power and solar heat to supply renewable energy sources to houses and buildings.

Haenam County plans to support the installation of solar power and solar heat facilities in houses, commercial (industrial) buildings, and public facilities in the Songji-myeon area.

A total project cost of 3.174 billion KRW, including 1.5 billion KRW of national funds (15% self-payment), will be invested, and the project will target 350 houses and buildings in the Songji-myeon area starting from February next year.

It has been found that installing a 3kW standard solar power system can reduce electricity bills by 40,000 to 50,000 KRW per month on average, which is expected to greatly contribute to reducing the economic burden on local residents.

The county plans to gradually expand the project area to improve the basic living standards by establishing an energy self-reliance foundation and will work diligently to be selected for the 2022 project as well.
