Yeonggwang-gun Launches 'New Renewable Energy Convergence Support Project'

[Yeonggwang=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Seong-jeong] Yeonggwang-gun, Jeollanam-do, has officially started the installation work for the renewable energy distribution convergence support project, securing 4.7 billion KRW in national and local government funds after being selected for a government public offering project last year.

According to the county on the 3rd, this project involves installing solar power and solar heat systems in residential, commercial, and public buildings. Installing a 3kW solar power system in a house can reduce electricity bills by about 40,000 to 50,000 KRW per month. Additionally, 85% of the total installation cost is supported by national and local government funds, minimizing the residents' self-payment ratio.

The county recently signed a business agreement with the Korea Energy Agency and plans to complete installation by the end of July through on-site visits to confirm installation locations at 460 sites (solar power 2,191 kW, solar heat 309㎡) in Yeonggwang-eup and Gunseo-myeon, the first project target areas.

County Governor Kim Jun-seong said, "As an energy welfare project for residents, it can reduce household expenses by lowering electricity costs, so we plan to continuously expand the project so that many residents can benefit."
