Permanent, planned, and special exhibition halls, an energy library, and energy media experience centers operated directly by local power companies related to renewable energy were introduced to serve as educational institutions outside of schools.

In the mid-term, it planned to create a nighttime wind power landscape using offshore wind turbines in Duuri, Yeomsan-myeon to attract tourists' attention, and to develop a specialized street with ▲observation towers and rest sales facilities ▲family camping facilities ▲e-mobility trails ▲walking paths ▲windmill hills ▲and sculptures installed using embankment parapets.

It suggested ways for external tourists to stay and enjoy the region, and further set the cluster creation project for establishing a hydrogen industry promotion base in line with the government's hydrogen industry promotion policy as a long-term business goal.
