[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Hyun] Haenam-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Myeong Hyun-gwan) announced on the 20th that it will promote the Renewable Energy Supply Housing Support Project, which supports part of the installation costs of solar power and other renewable energy for houses in the jurisdiction.

The support target is the owner of a house as defined by the Enforcement Decree of the Building Act, and the household that has signed an installation contract with a participating company selected by the Korea Energy Agency and has applied and been approved through the Green Home website.

The support amount for a 3kW residential solar power system is based on a total installation cost of 4,608,000 KRW, with 2,304,000 KRW (50%) from the national government and 921,000 KRW (20%) from local government, so the applying household only needs to bear 1,383,000 KRW.

Also, this year, in addition to the existing support targets such as solar power, solar heat, geothermal, and fuel cells, small wind power for residential use is also supported.

It has been found that installing a 3kW solar power generation facility in a general household can reduce electricity bills by about 600,000 KRW annually per household.

The project can be applied for online through the Green Home website starting from the 19th, and applications can also be submitted by visiting the Economic Industry Division of Haenam County Office. Last year, 81 households (79 solar power, 2 solar heat) in Haenam-gun received support for renewable energy supply.

For more details, please check the 2021 Renewable Energy Housing Support Project announcement on the Haenam-gun website under notices and announcements, and for other inquiries, contact the Economic Industry Division.

Governor Myeong Hyun-gwan stated, “We ask for the participation of residents who wish to install renewable energy facilities to reduce electricity bills, and we will do our best to improve energy self-sufficiency.”
