[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Dong-wook] Uljin-gun, Gyeongbuk Province (Governor Jeon Chan-geol) announced on the 30th that it will actively implement renewable energy distribution projects such as solar power and solar heat next year as well as this year.

This year, Uljin-gun supported 68 households with 170.68 million KRW from the national government, 20.4 million KRW from the provincial government, and 47.6 million KRW from the county government as part of the renewable energy 'Housing Support Project.'

For the 'Building Support Project,' 27 villages that requested solar power (3 kW) and solar heat (33.92㎡) for buildings used by many people, such as village halls, received support of about 278.4 million KRW from the national government, about 82.4 million KRW from the provincial government, and about 192.4 million KRW from the county government. In addition, 31 people received 89.28 million KRW from the county government for the residential solar power distribution project, and 21 people received 49.14 million KRW from the county government for the solar water heater distribution project.

In 2021, Uljin-gun plans to support 125 households with 21.9 million KRW from the provincial government and 103.7 million KRW from the county government for the housing support project. It also plans to support 12 buildings with 72.63 million KRW from the provincial government and 169.49 million KRW from the county government. According to Uljin-gun, if the subsidy project is selected, an additional approximately 313.57 million KRW for housing support and 204 million KRW for building support from the national government are expected.

An official from Uljin-gun stated, "From next year, we plan to focus on national government projects that require less self-payment from residents and are more effective in saving county budget for renewable energy projects."

Households wishing to apply can receive subsidies by signing a contract with a construction company and then registering as a member on the Korea Energy Agency Renewable Energy Center website.
