Gwangju Gwangsan-gu Supports Installation Costs for Eco-Friendly Home Boilers

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Gwan-woo] Gwangsan-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City announced on the 16th that it will carry out a subsidy support project for the installation of eco-friendly boilers to reduce fine dust and save energy.

Eco-friendly boilers refer to low-NOx boilers that have higher thermal efficiency than regular boilers and reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions, which are the main cause of fine dust, by more than 80%.

This project, with a total budget of 610 million KRW this year, provides 200,000 KRW to general households and 600,000 KRW to low-income households such as beneficiaries and near-poverty groups.

The support target is boilers with an evaporation capacity of less than 0.1 tons per hour or a heat output of less than 619,000 kcal, certified as environmental label products by the Korea Environmental Industry & Technology Institute, and only boilers installed this year are eligible.

Applications are accepted by mail only.

The application period is from the 22nd of this month to the 5th of next month.

Recipient households will be selected in the order of receipt of the payment request form, with priority given to low-income households and replacement of boilers older than 10 years.

Detailed information about the support project can be found on the Gwangsan-gu website.

A Gwangsan-gu official said, “Through this year’s support project, we will increase energy efficiency and contribute to creating a pleasant city by reducing fine dust.”
