Gwangyang City Supplies LP Gas to Rural Villages Without Urban Gas Service

LPG Small Storage Tank Supply Project Completed, 40 Households Use It Affordably and Safely

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Gwangyang City announced on the 21st that the small LPG storage tank supply project for Naemang Village, which installs LPG storage tanks and piping networks to supply LP gas to each household, will be completed by the end of this month.

This project involves installing storage tanks, piping networks, gas boilers, and meters for 40 households in Naemang Village, Jinwol-myeon, where city gas is not supplied.

When the gas supplier charges LP gas into the storage tank, LP gas will be stably supplied through the piping at a price 30% cheaper than kerosene.

Selected as a Jeollanam-do public project with a budget of 300 million KRW, the project, which started construction last month, is only awaiting the final inspection conducted by the Korea Gas Safety Corporation.

Thanks to the active cooperation of residents, including Kang Seok-soon, the head of Naemang Village, the village-level project, the first of its kind implemented by the city, has been smoothly completed.

Lee Hwa-yeop, Director of the Regional Economy Division, said, “We expect this project to improve the fuel usage environment for rural village residents and help prevent gas safety accidents,” adding, “We plan to continue the project to visit villages experiencing inconvenience and ensure that no regions or groups are excluded from energy use.”
