Daehan Green Power "Daehan Green Energy Holds Completion Ceremony for Korea's Largest Gwangbaek Solar Power Plant"

[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunseok Yoo] Daehan Green Power, a specialized company in eco-friendly renewable energy, has completed the largest-scale solar power plant in Korea together with its parent company Daehan Green Energy.

Daehan Green Power announced on the 18th that it held a completion ceremony for the Gwangbaek Solar Power Plant, attended by government and local government officials including National Assembly member Lee Gae-ho and Yeonggwang County Governor Kim Joon-sung, along with residents of Gwangbaek and provincial citizens.

A company official from Daehan Green Power said, "It is very unusual for high-ranking government and local government officials to attend the completion ceremony of a solar power plant completed by a private power business operator," adding, "This can be interpreted as government and local government officials recognizing the Gwangbaek Solar Power Plant developed by Daehan Green Energy as a model case and highly evaluating Daehan Green Energy’s capabilities in building renewable energy power plants."

Located in Baeksu-eup, Yeonggwang-gun, Jeollanam-do, the Gwangbaek Solar Power Plant is the largest-scale solar power plant in Korea, with solar panels installed on a total of 300,000 pyeong of abandoned salt fields. The project cost alone reached 360 billion KRW. It has a capacity of 99MW and can produce 130,000 MWh of electricity annually. This amount of power is enough to supply 48,000 households for one year.

The Gwangbaek Solar Power Plant project was promoted as a win-win project that minimizes environmental damage by utilizing barren abandoned salt fields and actively involves local small-scale construction companies in the construction, meeting the understanding and demands of local residents.

Daehan Green Energy, the parent company of Daehan Green Power, took charge of the overall development and construction, holding 50% equity in the Gwangbaek Solar Power Plant and thus owning the entire power plant. Daehan Green Power is responsible for maintenance and repair operations related to the power plant’s operation.

Daehan Green Power and Daehan Green Energy are also developing the Yeonggwang Duuri Offshore Wind Farm, a 300MW-class project being constructed in the shared water area of Yeomsan-myeon, Yeonggwang-gun.

Park Geun-sik, CEO of Daehan Green Power, said, "We are pleased to have successfully completed the largest solar power plant in Korea thanks to the active cooperation and support of government officials from the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, Yeonggwang County Office, local residents, and numerous construction companies," adding, "Daehan Green Energy is recognized as a leading renewable energy developer in Korea to the extent that government and local government officials praise it as a role model for promoting renewable energy power projects."

He continued, "With experience in building numerous wind and solar power plants and active collaboration with government and local governments, we will successfully develop new renewable energy power plants currently underway."
