[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Dobong-gu (Mayor Dongjin Lee) signed a "Business Agreement for Supporting Technology Development Utilizing Solar Power" on the 19th at the Gu Office Communication Cooperation Room with Seoul Energy Corporation (President Jungsik Kim) and Gridwiz (CEO Guhwan Kim).

Through this agreement, solar panels with a facility capacity of 204 kW (168 kW for the tennis court and 36 kW for the badminton court) will be installed above the badminton and tennis courts at Darakwon Sports Park.

Seoul Energy Corporation and Gridwiz plan to compare the actual power generation data (generation amount, voltage, current) of the installed solar power facilities with the predicted generation amount to verify the accuracy of the power generation prediction technology, and also aim to participate in and activate small-scale power brokerage projects.

The small-scale power brokerage project is a business where small-scale power producers sell electricity through power brokers. When small-scale power producers trade electricity generated from renewable energy, energy storage systems, or electric vehicles under 1 MW with brokers instead of directly trading with Korea Electric Power Corporation or Korea Power Exchange, the brokers efficiently manage the peak power of distributed resources and earn profits through the margin on the sale of electricity as intermediaries.

Mayor Dongjin Lee of Dobong-gu said, "In the global climate crisis situation, the transition to sustainable renewable energy such as solar power generation is a very important issue," and added, "I hope this project creates opportunities for not only the public sector but also more places to take interest in and participate in renewable energy."
